Screenwriting in the summer

A screenwriter instructor commented he enjoyed reading scripts on his balcony. I have not taken that step outdoors with my screenwriting. But after reading that comment I have decided a change up of writing some outdoors would be a great idea. I thought of several ideas including writing by waterfall, in the park, in my backyard, in a treehouse and on my balcony. Have fun writing this summer.

Screenwriting in a friendly competition

If you have been wanting to get more motivated in your screenwriting, perhaps joining a friendly screenwriting competition could be just the helpful thing to get you going. I have entered a couple of them to keep me motivated. If you are on Twitter, join the screenwriting groups to participate in the races. One of my favorite is the ScriptRace but another one is ScriptFrenzy. It is also another way to meet some of your fellow screenwriters!

I'm in ProSeries 33 ScreenwritingU.com.

I encourage you to visit the site ScreenwritingU@.com and see what is happening. I am focussing on the screenwriting classes that are offered online. You are in for a treat, fellow screenwriters. If you have been asked by judges to use subtext, not be so on the nose with your dialogue, and use character traits in your writing and did not understand what to do, then you need to come see what screenwritingu.com has to offer. The classes are online and the assignments fit easily into your schedule. And you are not critically judged while you are growing and trying out the assignments.
