AMA (Ask Me Anything) episode is next up! Send me any questions you want answered to [email protected], or via DM on Instagram @emilysheehan__.

We all have ideas for plays (and movies and novels) that never make it to a finished draft. So today’s episode is about the steps you can take to develop an idea into an outline for a play.

Turning your ideas into a play is the process of asking yourself dramaturgical questions, making decisions about the story, then executing on those decisions. This episode covers my thoughts on this process. As well as the dramaturgical questions I'm asking myself as I turn my most recent idea into an outline for a new play.

I reference:
Episode 44. Confessional Writing (Emily’s version)

Other episodes about developing ideas:
Episode 22. Writing a Draft Zero
Episode 19. Writing the Next Thing
Episode 18. Tracking Progress in Early Drafts
