1. I really enjoyed writing my own play! Wrtiting a play didn't take very long because it didn't have to be too in depth because you don't describe that characters thoughts. I was able to write a first draft in no time. I found that the sets were sort of limiting because you can't decorate the stage like a movie set. A stage that is too busy can also be distracting. I don't think I'd like to pursue writing scripts because it simply doesn't interest me.
2. To a 10 year old, I would tell them to pick their battles and their priorities. This is based on my own experience. I spend too much time on the small things, like worksheet school assignments, when I really should be spending more on important things like essays. But maybe thats just because I have bad time management at times. Also, I would tell them not to fight with friends and family about small things that don't really matter. It isn't worth having people be mad at you over a stupid fight. Lastly, I would tell them not to stress so much, especially not about things that you can't control or things that have already happened and you can't change.
3. I don't think that I could ever write something that would become a classic, but I have a great respect for those people that can and have. I think that great literature lasts forever because people can relate to the conflicts and the characters. There are also normally themes that can still be found in today's world. Classics are usually not quick reads because they make the reader think in depth and draw connections to today's world.

annie! great job! i agree with you kids need to pick their battles and getting hung up on little things will get you no where
I am with you about how your stage is limited, fighting about little things is really stupid, and making a classic scene has to relate to all.
I agree. I think the more depth, the more you tend to think about things as you read, which means it can take longer. Though, you can certainly read great pieces of literature and choose not to analayze it, which is fine too.
I agree with you that alot of us spend time doing the small things in life and not necessarily concentrating on the big picture. I wish I would have known this earlier in life. Things would be very different now if I could go back and set my priorities straight. I also agee with you that you shouldnt fight with friends and family. It is a waste of time and it either hurts your relationships or brings you back to where you were in the begining
