I have discovered that since coming back to college, I am more interested in getting into creating dramas and getting more involved in the script writing aspect. The show, "Breaking Bad" is a particular interest of mine because of the stereotype line it has broken. For example, Walter White plays a middle aged, middle class chemistry teacher, looking after his family and just going day-to-day earning a living. However, as he is diagnosed with cancer, he has to learn how to make more money, not only for his treatment but for the well being of his family, if he does pass away. For a man of this description, going into drug making and drug dealing isn't something you would ever think he would do. This breaks down the barrier of TV stereotypes and gives us a little insight into the thought provoking process of the writer when it comes to character development.
While the writing style of the show is a fascinating look on the way people see and think about drugs, from the inside and out; when it comes to my personal writing style, it's not a show that I could look to and say "I want to write something like that." The main reason for this is because right now I'm not sure what type of writer I would like to be.
