I need your help:
I joined this thing to write a 100 page script in 1 month (scriptfrenzy.org) - And I'm working on the plot -- it's all about a guy who gets stuck in the boring day-to-day, 9-to-5 life of the workforce and he's searching to find ways to keep his head above water before he wants to kill himself (figuratively of course... well, at least on most days). He starts watching people and figuring out how they make it every day - and he notices these little things that everyone does to make it through their day... i.e. He sees someone on the bus reading a different Sci-fi novel every week. Another person has this tiny sketch book they draw trees in. One lady seems to constantly be watching babies and toddlers - she watches them observe the world and their expressions.
Here's the deal:
I need more 'little things' to make real life examples -- I've asked a few friends and I love their answers - now I'm asking you... so here's the question :
What little things do you do to keep life interesting - to get through the hum-drum of day-to-day?
More examples:
- My mom pays close attention to the growth of new plants every time she walks out of her apartment
- I will listen to Disney songs at work about once a month
- During the winter, I always look at the footprint I make in the snow (i think the designs on the bottom of shoes are often overlooked...haha)
- Sometimes on solo missions to the grocery store, I'll act like Mark Wahlberg - just for practice, in case one day I want to pull off a big heist
- My friend tries to see art in the old walls while he tears them down working construction
OR if you can't think of anything: What small things in life do you pay attention to?
And then after I write the script, you could be in this movie - this little part of you... - I'm excited to hear what little things you all do!
