The Creative Ignition 4: Libraries
June 22nd, 2010 | Posted by in ScreenwritingI like to write about screenwriting.
It’s my number one passion. It’s inspiring.
I’ve been writing screenplays for long enough to know how to trigger my creative ignition.
In certain cases it could be a movie that makes me want to write.
Sometimes it’s a location that starts a fire in your mind.
Locations like the ceiling in your room, an old basketball court or driving in your car deep in thought.
I happen to love writing screenplays at the library.
I haven’t been there much lately but it’s one of my favorite places to be creative. It’s always the Reference Library in Toronto. When I’m there you can find me on the 4th floor surrounded by screenwriting and film books.
In front of me, I’ll have several notebooks spread out. In them I write outlines and rough pages of whatever script I’m working on.
Before I know it, 5 hours has gone by and the library is closing.
I take my work home and type it up. A few hours later, I’ve put a huge dent into the script.
It all starts at the library.
Nerdy or not… It works.
