There must be a million and one people out there who want to write a movie script. Perhaps these people are currently writing their life story or their great ideas in a note pad, in a blog, scrawled on a wall with a crayon between their toes?

I think as a child one of the greatest satisfactions you have is when you finally decipher that scrawly stuff you mum, dad and older brother seem to make sense from. Once you can read it you want to create your own "magic". And as you experience things you want to put this into print. But you the excitement comes from seeing people "get" your ideas. Now that is kind of tough if your ideas remain in print - unless you hang around train stations on the off chance that some one is reading you book - but that is more likely to be Harry Potter. So the solution?

Movies! Write a script, get it made into a movie and see the joy / fear / laughter on peoples faces for your self. Writing writ large!
