Shedding Ink

I joined a script writing competition (think it’s called ShedInk) out of support for my bro. Wrote a script based on five “clues” (actually I just fitted these into the story I had in mind la) in under what I think was four hours. The story is really based on a similar situation, just that I dramatized the characters and topics discussed.

Now I’m thinking whether it was a wrong move to join this…… What if I beat all other contestants? :)

Anyway, I’ve always written stuff. In fact, I started writing stories and scripts even before I started freelancing for mags. That was eons ago. Scary. It was always during late nights and when I was listening to some sappy songs that the mood just comes and words just flow…

Life’s a stage. Here’s my script (Link
) and if you read it, just keep thinking that it was under written under stressful conditions near midnight. :) By the way, it's entitled Count On Me, Singapore. Enjoy.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages."

Ah, therein lies the innate beauty of anonymity...as a script writer for tv shows, you need more work. Revisit your script and characters to dramatize more instead of just relying on local stereotypes.

Wow secrecy... sooo mysterious... Haa and nobody said I'm a scriptwriter for TV shows la... This was just written to support my bro's event...
But sure, if I become a TV script writer, I'll fall back on your wisdom :)
