Arrested Development- Fantastic Voyage

So, I just wrote a few scenes for a screenplay I'm working on with my homie, and it was damn near an amazing experience. I've been working all day, designed a water bottle, designing materials for New Years at Silver (my newest club client), and getting ready for exciting new changes with the business, but I managed to get a lot of stress out through the writing.

I love writing, I used to write for hours and hours when I was a kid, I remember orating ridiculous science fiction stories to my dad at the IBM in our den/basement (?) before I knew how to write, when I would just babble out anything and he would sit and write it down. That was pretty awesome as a kid, not gonna lie, sooo much fun and I had a lot to say. Apparently there's videos of me at kids birthday parties sitting there just telling stories with groups of kids just sitting around me listening...

Anyway, I remember writing my first little book when I transferred schools when I was 6. I wasn't the smartest by far at this point, I was very late into reading and writing, but I wrote something with Mom/Dad about knights and a big meal an illustrated it and I was kind of hooked on writing rather bad fantasy/science fiction since then. This all stopped in college (ASU was so much less challening than Punahou, where I believe at one point I turned in 100+ pages of science fiction and a play of equal length written entirely in rap verse sophomore year), but it feels great to be back to it again.

The screenplay is loosely based on many of our and our friends experiences, revolves around main characters in our lives, and it's fun and cathartic to do.

Anyway, slightly excited.
