Re: Warning... Do Not Read
No problem. I'm glad to hear you're plugging along and doing the writing. Glad to have you aboard. Keep asking questions. We'll answer them.
Your thread was a spring board for this thread. There have been a number of threads here in this forum that started from even more basic questions or concerns related to rules and techniques than the one you stated. So forgive me that your thread is the one that started this. Actually it was the Chinatown thread that kicked this into high gear.
I've long held and long suppressed my belief that as far as screenwriting, there's been a suppression, if you will, of storytelling telling instincts in favor of the various, numerous theories, formulae, techniques that are out there. Also, the trades, what is selling, what is "hot" as far as genres etc all imo help complicate things. I think that the writing process becomes a little unnatural. So that was the reason I posted that thread.
So you're serious about the Micronesia... I could easily picture myself using Micronesia as a humorous phony location. If you take note a number of DDPers use the location section to express their humor. I could also, I think, picture myself in Micronesia and writing.
