needs thus far (a care worker & an art editor in one script for example)
#scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:05 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell If the job isn't crucial to
plot try something that some b/g detail on may prove interesting for their
character? #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:06 pm
@Bang2write: @teenierussell OK ... I have to clarify a few
things first. Is their job connected to the story? What's the genre?
#scriptchat

@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel I have a protag that gets made
redundant but am finding it hard to decide what demanding job she has to start
with #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:06 pm
@teenierussell: @Bang2write It's a comedy and protag gets
made redundant at the start #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:08 pm
@Bang2write: @SiFoulaReel @teenierussell yes, but sometimes
you can take that element too far, too. Sometimes all a character needs is a
job #scriptchat

@PINKTROID: Hello Scriptchatters. :) Question: When one is
writing a musical, does one write in the dance moves or just write in
"dance"? #ScriptChat
October 14, 2012, 7:14 pm
@teenierussell: @Bang2write @SiFoulaReel Thank you for the
help, I've already changed my whole opening in my mind, was just stuck on the
detail #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:16 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @PINKTROID Unless there was something
absolutely crucial and specific, I'd say keep it very general - "Dance
Sequence". #scriptchat
October 14, 2012, 7:16 pm
@Bang2write: @teenierussell @SiFoulaReel no problem :)

@IngridElkner: Maybe the best way to write women is base
them initially off a real woman you know, not characters you've seen. Start
fresh. #scriptchat

writers in writing female characters is taking their gender as their sole
