Summer of '84

[kleenexwoman]

I think I want to adapt things to screenplays for a living. I like writing, but I'm so shit at creating truly original characters, and adapting things to screenplays can give you a lot of leeway to fiddle with characters and dialogue and plot without having to spend the effort building your own stuff up from scratch. It's like fanfic, in a way.

The next project I want to tackle is turning 1984 into a romantic comedy. I THINK IT CAN BE DONE.

I'd like to see it done as a musical. It needs singing and dancing!

Didn't David Bowie try that? :( ...more dystopias need singing and dancing, though. Brave New World strikes me as ripe for this sort of adaptation.
