Hi, well I joined a playwriting class at school and we are supposed to sumbit a one act play at the end of the semester and it will also be submitted to see if it will be produced at school. Well, my problem is I need to start figuring out what I want to write about. See everyone in my class seems to already know what they want to write about something God doesn't exist or about our souls. I of course happen to be the one who doesn't want to write about that. But I don't know where to start. I like funny, I like action not endles monologues! Help please advise.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Help!

Most people will tell you to write about what you know.
I'll tell you that that's not enough--write about what you know, and about what you love.
If you're writing cold, about something you don't really care about, it'll be a grind. You're an expert at something, surely. The things we're good at are often the things we enjoy most. Pick something you're good at, and make that the core of your play. It'll be fun, and you'll get a better grade because your story will reflect your own passion and knowledge.
