Toward the Future/From the Past

Limitations that I felt while writing the play was that I am more used to writing short stories, so it was hard for me to write dialogue and actions that can be shown on stage instead of just read. The strengths in the form of writing a play is that you can really convey the emotions that you want. Instead of a reader trying to visualize the story in their head, an audience can really SEE what is going on. I didnt find any pleasant surprises in writing this play. I think that it was quite difficult to write this play, especially all the indentations and italicizing every action. No, i dont think that i ever want to write another play. it was the worst experience of my writing life. I never want to write one again. I would much rather write poems or short stories.
I think that i would want to choose one event from my life and talk about that and then follow up on how it has impacted my life now. I would want to try to convey all the emotions that i felt when the event happened to me, happy, excited, sad...etc. If i had to advise a kid on growing up in today's world, i would give them advise based on my experiences because it would be honest and something that i actually went through. i would tell them that in this life, you go no where without friends. Friends are people who guide you through the toughest struggles, along with family. I would tell them to meet the best people that they can and take advantage of the time they have to spend together. I would also tell them that whatever you want out of life you have to earn for yourself. There is no one here to hand out dreams and accomplish goals for you. You have to do it yourself, so work hard at whatever you do. I would tell them to be happy and not hold grudges because so much of life can be wasted being mad and angry. That's just advice that I would give based on past experiences in my life.
