You know those moments where you have a stroke of genius and you just go with it?
Welcome to my life.
I'm in a film and literature class. Last year of college. I'm quite ready to be done. And reading about all the adaptations of Frankenstein got me to thinking.
I can do it too.
Particularly since a certain movie studio has stalled in their own new version of Bride of Frankenstein. So I'm writing it because I know where the first installment was lacking and I know how to fix it.
I have the film treatment. I'd post it here but I'm cautious about someone stealing my idea. I'm on roughly page seventeen.
This is utter insanity. And I know this. But I've got a chance, even if I've got a fight ahead of me. It's a long shot, but you know what? Why not me?
Why shouldn't I be the one to write it? Everyone has to start somewhere. I just have a tendency to leap first.
But...this is a good story. And I've grounded it in the book and in the present. I can tell this story and I'm the only one who can tell this story this way.
Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley, I will take my place beside you as a female writer. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have the path to walk I do.
Now, this may seem odd that I'm posting this in my acting blog. But can I remind you that I am ambitious, probably a lot more ambitious than is healthy, and I have never lost my eye on the acting prize.
So I've written myself a part.
I will do this. I will do this. And I won't just let the voice in my head telling me that I am completely crazy for even thinking I could do this talk me out of this.
Here I am. Engaged in a great fight to prove what I have always known.
