September 29, 2010 Well, I had an amazing creative spurt. I’d hired someone to analyze my script. I got back 11 pages of critique. Somehow I knew just how to fix all the issues. Of course I asked for the Universe’s support. I started writing at 8:30 AM on Tuesday morning and I stopped writing [...]
Universe, what can I say beyond, “Thank you, again!” As I’ve mentioned earlier, I began writing letters daily to the Universe. I’ve never been good at meditating or journaling, so I decided what would work for me is writing letters. I start off every day writing a letter in a Composition Book left over from [...]
September 26, 2010 Well, I haven’t even had time to blog in my last ditch effort to write the best possible screenplay for RECLAIM. My last entry was 9/22/10. Right after that I hit a huge wall. Writing this screenplay has been an interesting process. I have two boards up with 3×5 cards and a [...]
My breakthrough came just in time. I’ve hired someone in the ‘business’ to go over my screenplay draft and it’s due tonight. I’ve been writing for 12, 15 and 18 hour days. And guess what??? It’s been a blast. Frustrating as hell sometimes. But all in all. Great FUN! I don’t have much time to [...]
I want to share the best ‘quick’ resource for formating a screenplay. Here’s the link: http://www.storysense.com/format.htm I’ve made some mistakes so I’m going to spend the day reformatting. I’d rather lay down on a floor mat. I’m missing a lot of Yoga over this screenplay. My what a deadline will do.
I think that writing letters to the Universe is one of the BEST things I’ve ever done. It’s interesting how even I’m not clear about what I want. If I don’t know it’s hard to have the Universe line up. Perhaps if is but I can’t see if because I don’t know what I’m looking [...]
Sometimes the Universe provides us with a break even if we don’t think we can afford to take one. I’ve been in Chicago the last few days. I was invited to give the opening keynote for Fortune Brands. What an amazing group of companies. I had the opportunity to meet and speak with their CEO [...]
It may not sound huge to you but it feels huge to me. My original screeplay submitted to a screenplay competition was ranked in the top 200 out of thousands. That was my original story which some experts said wasn’t good. Hmmmm…… I think the key is stay true to yourself and your inspiration. That [...]
Well, I’ve found that over the last week I’ve been blocked, had breakthroughs, gotten stuck and unstuck more times than I can to remember. Each time I find a new way to move forward is exhilarating. Each setback the pits. It is difficult to not blame myself for not thinking harder or smarter. I often [...]
My goodness what a process. I’m on my third totally different version of the plot. I think I’m finally on to something as it blends the best of the first two. I’m trying to gather information and examples of how to write a dream/nightmare in a screenplay. I use 3 by 5 cards as recommended [...]
