FADE IN:
INT. IN FRONT OF YOUR COMPUTER - NOW
SCRIPTED WHIM You know those moments when you're in the shower, and you think of the perfect comeback to something that happened yesterday, or last week, or last year? We've all been there. Though it's not always necessary to write about events that have happened to you, writing about your life can certainly allow you to work through things, and it's way cheaper than therapy.
SCRIPTED WHIM Though we can't always be as calm and awesome in real life as Matt Damon is in this clip from Good Will Hunting, we can certainly pretend. Pick one moment or "scene" from your life where you wish you would have acted differently or had the perfect comeback. Now, write this scene how you wish it would have happened. Do you feel better? If not, keep writing. If so...keep writing!FADE OUT:THE END
