Me, a writer of movie scripts

Me, a writer of movie scripts

http://writerofmoviescripts.blogspot.com/

The process of screenwriting is the main topic with my own movie scripts as the base.

I use Blake Snyder's beat sheet when I plan my stories. I also have different writing exercises. Some blog entries explore a word that I found interesting.

    One thing I just love to do when I'm working with an idea is to switch the character’s sexes.If my first impulse is to make a character a man I halt and consider “why a man?” I do the same with female characters.If my first impulse to make “t...

What a great co-incidence. Your post on 'The Rouge Wave: Giving good feedback' is very timely.

FYI. I changed my BC profile's intro. The only message for my fellow buddies at BC is to say that which can help me move forward. The friendly request I have posted is:
Posting comments or reviews such as "looks good" "its' great" "This is good" or "nice site" will not help anyone. Please say something to work with, as a positve or negative feedback. Follow this as a best practice for all your friendly blogs / sites.
Best wishes.

An honest, reflective blog on the author's writing process, that avoids the preachiness of other "know it all" writing blogs. The reader can take part in the writer's journey, without feeling like they have to subscribe to the ideas presented. What a relief!

If you like movies and like to dissect them from a creative point of view, this site has something to offer for you. If you like to write the process gets much more complex! Great content and insight offered. A young site that will inspire. Interact with this blogger!
