Synopsis

Today I'm taking a break from my usual work and am in the middle of wrting a synopsis for a film
a friend has shown some interest in. It's not really my usual fair, that's to say it's not a comedy.
it was a story I'd started a few years ago, I'm not exactly sure why I decided to write it, I think I may have been attempting to figure out what kind of thing I wanted to do.
The project which may or may not happen for one reason or another is a drama and is very personal, so personal in fact that I have no interest in writing it. The plan is to get it to a stage where a "real" writer can take what I have a produce a blinding script with it.
The thing is, is that I'm really close to it and even just attempting to get back into it is hard work.
There are no jokes in the script, in fact it's a pretty grim story.
Still I suppose its a challenge to write outside of the comfort zone of fart and knob gags.
