Working on a new project

I've always remember something Russel T Davies once said in an interview about his characters: They're all his favorites. The moment that he's writing dialogue for a specific person, in that moment, they are his favorite character. I think this is key to his success of memorable side characters. It's something I've always noticed about his writing. The person might say just one thing, but you see that person stand out for that one moment.

Which brings me to my Writing for Film and TV class. We're starting to get into the meat of things now. We've chosen our respective stories to write so now begins the construction of them. I originally was going to use a plot I came up with for a Torchwood story. It was malleable enough to work for the requirements of the class. Man, am I glad I didn't go that route. There are SO many people writing superhero stories! Instead, I'm ironically going with the third plot idea I forced onto paper. It wasn't supposed to go anywhere, just fulfill the assignment of having three ideas.
