I got this idea for this in Tuesday's class about African American Theatre. My teacher was talking about his favorite playwright, Suzan-Lori Parks. She apparently did a project of her own called the 356 Days/356 Plays. Essentially, she wrote a short play every day for an entire year, as a way to keep producing more works.
I liked this concept a lot because I actually enjoy the idea of writing plays. Granted I'm not a pro or anything; I've only completed one play in my whole life. But I was really innovated by the idea when we learned that there are multiple ways to write plays, and that they don't have to follow the traditional "beginning-middle-end" format.
So, I decided to do this. Since I don't have a whole year to spend, I'm going to shoot for a week. Since our fourth project is due next thursday, I feel confident I can produce a decent amount of work. On the plus side I wont have to include an essay with this project because I will already be writing a lot! I'm not too worried though, writing comes pretty easily to me when I'm inspired... and I already have some ideas ready to go.
