Greetings Creative Inklings

I do hope that the writing process is going well and all are being as creative as possible with their works.

For me, I have taken on a great task hoping it will pay off in the end. What is this great task? An actual Collaboration! A really good one I might add. The funny thing that has made me chuckle here and there, is the way most collaborations work. When I was introduced to a few people in the pass who wanted to do a "so-called collaboration", it was mostly about their works, their stories. I've said it before and I will said it again. "I want to to a untouched collaboration!" Something that has never been though of, something fresh and new. The story is orignal, new, raw, and has been created by the collaborator in the process of the story. We pick a genre and go from there. It's that simple. We do all of the creative process together.

That's just what we did! In my writing class I met a student with the same interest of writing scripts. The only thing is he has never attempted to write a script before. The more we talk about a collaboration, an un-touched, orignal, new, screenplay.

We have pick a genre.
We have created our main characters.
We have started our treatment.
We have started our storyforming
We have created our plot squences,and so much more.

Here is the catch! When you write a story as a collaboration, there are so many ideas that takes the story in different directions, as if the story is forming itself. The great thing about this collaboration, it we may actually have something pretty big. Now I am not just saying that, because most writers think all of their storys are pretty big, but when I say big, I mean BIG! This story is not like anything I've written before, and most diffently has surpass any previous works I've written. The story will be written in three different scripts, creating a more "Epic" story.

Our goal is to complete the story and do a possible pitch. It's just that simple. So my point is...it's okay to do a collaboration, however, the best collaborations are the ones you create together...Raw, untouch, new and orignal.

Maybe you should give it a try...Inklings!

Take Care,
Alecia

About Me

THE WRITER:

A passionate writer for the past 12 years, finding a first love with poetry. This passion has allowed her to turn poetry into music lyrics. As years past, She found a new passion for writing stories. She would base her ideas on certain situation that were happening. She would say, "That should be in the movies!" and instead of talking about it, she took the first step toward a true passion and began writing her first script. A story about "Love and Drama",(UNV~LOVE STRONGER THAN PRIDE)which took her several years to write, because she didn't know the first thing about how to write a professional script.

"I remember going to the pawn shop and getting a typewriter, and another store for ink and paper. I brought it home and put the ink in the typewriter, and place paper in its position. I was ready, but didn't know what to write or how to write a script. I was staring at a blank white sheet of paper."

~Alecia Smith

Her hobby has grown into a very big passion. She's currently has three completed scripts, and working hard to start her memoir. Her ideas are her best kept secret, with dozens of treatments and ideas she keeps in a vault. If an idea comes to her, she writes it down, putting as much information about the idea, so she can go back to it later.

"I do believe in working hard at something your truly care about, and writing is something I love." She has worked in the music industry for about 5 years and started to focus on writing more so. She is a member of ASA "American Screenwriters Association", and "The Saint Louis Writer's Guild."

THE PERSON:

Alecia is a independent person that loves feedback, she is always open to suggestions. "If it needs work, it needs work!"

She is currenlty a college student and working only 16 hrs during each week, which allows her to the time to focus on writing.

"Writing for me is a gateway, like a drug with other effects. I get high when I have written something that is powerful. No street drug can handle that!"

She has one daughter that was her inspiration for her last script. She believes in family first.

"Find inspiration in what you least think is inspirational!"

Goal

One of my currently goals is to seek representation and/or to sell my scripts. I have so many ideas, that I do keep headaches on a regular basis. I would love to to a complete collaboration.

"I would love to see my "Art" on Screen! My character come to life! That would be a beautiful thing."
