Just was happy to realise I have a reached 15,000 words in play I have been writing. However, I am not sure how much of this is actually just the characters names at the start of every line.

I can't stop writing my play
. I want to share it with people but at the same time I don't, just in case I want to get it published someday (if it's good enough anyway). - 84

Well done, plays are really difficult to write. I have several half attempted scripts lying around!

What kind of plays do you write and what are you going to do with them when they are finished?

I do hope to get it published someday, I know I like the style but I'm not sure how willing publisers would be but I'm positive that I will publish it someday even if it means self-publishing (preferably not though). To discribe it most here is a brief passage from the play but I must swear that I am not going to reveal any more of it.
Person 1:Is that a question?
Person 2:Yes.
Person 1:You’re quite adamant it is question?
Person 2:Is that a question?
Person 1: On the same grounds yours is a question.
Things like that. This part is a dialouge between two, I left out the names on purpose just in case of 'hindsight' somehow. - 94

I haven't cried in ages but my eyes started to water when I began writing something in my play. Nothing worth crying over though, I can't believe that I am connected that much with my characters.

Unfortunatly I have succumbed too much to writing about nothing. The play which I am currently writing now (in my eyes, if I can say so myself) is coming along quite nicely. However I would like to dabble in something else. I felt writing 'I am Tram' was a good starting point but I am failing to think of plots adequate to write about or to become novel worthy.
I've read lots of things on how to plot novels etc etc but I really think that getting the first idea is very hard.
Any ideas on how I could get started?
