Getting distracted

SO for my Summer class, I was assigned "Death of a Salesman" to answer my life question: 'Can I do what I want for a living?' Well this play answers it and doesn't answer ti in about 50 billion ways. SO i have been researching and dissecting it for the last week or so.

On my writing, I have been doing some. I promise. Though I have shifted gears. Yes I started the play based on the book I was writing. But I also started another play. Yes my mind wanders a lot. Anyway this play is about how a young woman's life is changed by her weekly interactions with a homeless man. It is based on my true life experiences. I think it could be good. But it is giving me trouble.

I first approached it as a One Act, but One Acts are so hard to write, I though of expanding it, but adding another character or two, since prior to this I was going to only have the girl and the homeless man. Well I have 3 scenes written but all on the first idea... now I just have to delve in, re-dissect it and add and subtract accordingly. Oh joy...

A play...

So everyone, I might be shifting gears. Ever since i started this class which focuses on plays, and actually it's crossed my mind a few times before then I have been playing with the idea to make my story a play. I was encouraged more along these lines when talking to my Mom who said I should be a playwright or screenwriter because I write great dialogue. I was also inspired yesterday when I learned my professor for my awesome summer class has a play opening in Boston this week. And upon further review he is actually a very important up and coming playwright.
I am also having more ideas and think I know how to write it as a play. Though instaed of spanning her whole life I would have it only as Sarah as a little girl and have 4 characters this way it's be easy to produce... the wheels are spinning...

STuck

I have to admit I haven't looked at my actual writing in a few days. The details and research kind of have me scared. I think I just need a good organization method. I need more notes perhaps. I think I'll claim a notebook and a folder/drawer just for this project. i think I'll continue to write entries for my book but there more info I have about the period and the environment Sarah would have grown up in the more realistic and affective my writing will be. This is based on a true story, so it needs to be accurate...
