Introduction

My name is Kyle Boynton, recent graduate of Central Washington University, and I want to be a writer. Focusing on screenwriting, play writing, and fiction writing. I'm still applying for jobs, working on two feature length scripts (one of which is pretty much done and is in development for a start date early next year - but more on that later), and various random video projects. While working on one the features a few weeks ago, I was stricken with WRITER'S BLOCK! So, last week, I started coming up with ideas on how to break my self out of it. I decided to sit down and write a short play. I texted three random friends - who I knew would text me back right way - for three different things. I asked for a Person (Job/profession), a Place, and a Thing (prop). I proceeded to sit down and write a one-act play, now titled "FEEDING" THE SEAGULLS - the person being a Journalist, the place being a Beach, and the thing being... A Potato gun. After finishing the script in no time - I think it took me two sittings over two days - I finished it, typed it up and felt like I was actually making progress on ideas for my other script I'm working on. Then it hit me. Why don't I do this every week for a year? Do that same exercise to get my creative juices flowing. And that's what brings me to creating this blog. I've decided that each week till November 14, 2011 I'm going to write a short script each week - now this can mean a short play, film, or even a poem if for whatever reason I'm inspired to do so.

So, this time next year I'll have 52 random ass ramblings. I expect there will be some that are just god awful, but I do anticipate some that I'll actually really like and develop more into longer pieces - this is actually the same exercise I did in class that lead to my one-act play 'Leashes' that was produced at Central last Feb.

What I need from you? People, places, and things. I want jobs/professions that are somewhat unique and haven't been done to death already. I want places that are also cool and unique. I want things that aren't exactly out of the ordinary, just normal items but they can be extravagant items - they can be dirty too I guess. **It's more "random" if I don't come up with them myself.

Sit back and enjoy reading my 52 thrown together short scripts for an entire year.
