Answer 3

To write a drama, you need to have a good imagination and do a lot of daydreaming! It's easier to come up with ideas when you're not thinking about it, and these usually come to you first thing in the morning.

You need to have a structure set out in your head. You can put random ideas together, sometimes this can be really effective, but a structure helps them flow together, and link, most importantly.

If you think your first idea is the best, usually it isn't. And if any of your ideas become dragged or tedious to work with, scrap them and try a new idea.

A drama needs a dramatic ending - hence the word 'drama'. Usually, there are more dramatic characters in a fiction drama, rather than in a real-life one, so it's best to decide what type of drama you want to write before you start making up full-bodied characters.

A good drama always has you on the edge of your seat. If you don't get excited during your own piece of writing, then it's best to ask around, see what gets others on the edge of their seat when they're reading or watching a drama.
