Writer's Block

What to do? The deadline for a preliminary IPP script is fast approaching and I have yet to draw anything up. I am still stuck in that same place where I don't know how to transform the idea into something for the stage. I have begun to write the script. It incorporates the movie-like feel I had always envisioned the story for while keeping it with a performance. At this point I am not sure if the movie effect will keep in line with the performance, but I will see. I think the only way to truly test out everything I have done is just to see it on stage, spoken aloud by other actors. From my experience with The House of the Spirits, I know that I tend to write drama in the same way that I write my essays in English class. I am quite verbose as you can probably already see, so it tends to show up in awkward wording and formatting in my scripts. It sounds perfectly correct in my head but it simply just doesn't translate on stage. It becomes wordy and pretty boring. I feel that my scripts always come out this way because I am trying to convey abstract and emtional concepts that can't just be spoken with an everyday vernacular. At the same time, I am trying to satisfy a teenage audience that I know will probably not even relate to half of what I am saying. It has been a tough writer's block trying to please everyone.
