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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’ve been stuck for a while again. That seems to be how it goes, at least for me. Yesterday I went out for coffee with my best friend, Suzy. She always wants to know the latest on the screenplay. While I was explaining the new plot and where I was facing a challenge. What do [...]
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 [...]
I love TUT’s messages (www.TUT.com). The one this AM had a link to an audio clip. In the audio clip Mike Dooley talks about how we feel often as if there is something wrong with us. (Yes, that’s me from time to time.) That we feel we are doing something wrong and hit glass walls [...]
