Mark Whiteley is an actor, writer and theatre producer from the UK. He has written numerous plays and stories for the theatre. He won the MTA for Thick As Thieves.
Many people have many ways to write, here's some of the tricks I've learnt along the way.
Idea – the idea is the most important part of writing my stories. To me they usually come out of the blue and very quickly. I usually write a half page synopsis of every idea. If the idea is any good it stays with me, I think about it night and day and let it grow in my head.
Ideas I’ve never written are numerous. Some ideas stay with you for years. One of my plays, GRASS took 5 years, until I could get all the components to finish it. Sometimes it’s because I can’t think of the end. I think sometimes as I get better at writing I’ll be able to do the really mad ideas I have, I’m not good enough yet.
Ideas come from every where, friends, family, personal stories (Grass), internet, newspapers, photographs, flyers (walk this way).
