You should be comforted by the fact that you can very well indulge in some very creative projects in your apartments in Lake Oswego. One of the most therapeutic artforms that require the least amount of resources is writing. As long as you have some paper and a pen or a working laptop, you’re good to go. Here are some ideas on writing to spend your time creatively in your apartments:

1. Download Celtx, a free app for your computer or phone that serves to help you create scripts/screenplays. If you’ve always had an affinity for TV or movies, getting into this creative craft might be easy for you. Here are some basics to get you started:
a. Know that each page of writing equals approximately one minute of screen time in the TV-writing world. Most episodes are 30-60 minutes and most movies are 90-120 minutes, so that’s the number of pages of writing it would take to complete something.
b. It’s always helpful to start with an outline that gives you the beginning, middle, and end of what you’re trying to accomplish. Check the streaming charts on Rotten Tomatoes to see what’s new and well rated.

2. Consider indulging in writing some creative non-fiction. This is where you sit down and think about something you’ve seen or experienced in your life and add a creative twist. Sit down in a comfortable place and let the words flow. You never know what you’ll come up with.
