I will need to research tv shows and scripts.  I think that I have a general idea of how to write one since I know my own voice and I know all about my research at this point, but I think that I should find a script and try to mimik it to fit my voice.  I have watched enough tv in my 20 years of living but I think that it would be easier to read up on some scripts and fill in the gaps that I’m missing.

This process is different because I am using a very relaxed piece of writing to turn it into my own.  A tv script for a show is a lot different that a referred journal or a book with very accurate information.  So learning how to relax and play it up in my own voice rather than directing it towards an increadibly specific audience will vary in this process.

It will be similar only to the extent that now that I have all of my research done, I won’t have to research my topic, but I will have to research how to fit my topic into something.  I think that by doing a tv show it would be easy to get my views out to a larger scale rather than publishing it in a book or magazine, that only a select few would see.

So far the books that I have read… well all one… has given me an insight to how to write a creative piece.  I have only read The Emperor of Scent and thought it was amazing.  I think that the author couldn’t have written a book like that if he hadn’t lived through the experience of interviewing Luca Turin to get his point of view.  I think that it gives me the opportunity to see that it is easy to be able to live through something and then turn it into a creative piece.

My research paper is my life experience.  I had to do everything for it!  I e-mailed the professors and I sat through the lecture to get the information for my results.  But most importantly I had the desire and the will to ask the questions I did and I was the one who had the urge to find out this information.  So it was in my own personal interest that demanded me to write this research paper and I can recall all of the emotions I encountered throughout the process to turn them into my creative writing.

Overall I think that the research paper and the book(s) have been useful.  I have experienced others perspectives and point-of-views as well as my own.  So I will know how to turn my experience into something else by reading about others.
