7:13 pm LisaFromNYC: Watched "Tales from the Script" bit.ly/dkgWr9 this weekend. Some great stories. hmm do I really why do this? lol #scriptchat

7:13 pm filmutopia: #scriptchat @Jonathan_Peace re:criticism... I think the important thing for me is to step away from the crit for 24 hours before reacting
7:14 pm DreamsGrafter: @PennyAsh Strong analytical skills will help you identify if script needs stronger protag goal, stronger subplot etc. #scriptchat
7:14 pm PennyAsh: @DreamsGrafter I hate feedback like that, tell me why it doesn't work. #scriptchat
7:14 pm DreamsGrafter: RT @filmutopia: #scriptchat @Jonathan_Peace re:criticism... I think the important thing for me is to step away from the crit for 24 hours before reacting

7:17 pm DreamsGrafter: RT @jeannevb: Been thinking a lot lately how imp it is to write things OTHER than scripts... articles, short stories, novels. Be well-rounded #scriptchat

7:55 pm DreamsGrafter: How do you feel when you're nearing the end of a project? Have you normally got another idea ready on the sideline? #scriptchat
7:55 pm Jonathan_Peace: @momentsoffilm rookie mistake? #scriptchat LOL
7:55 pm PennyAsh: @jeannevb ROFL also fount the mohito mix #scriptchat
7:55 pm olilewington: So here's a Q I need an answer to: Draft 4 of 1 script, 2 of another or 1 of a third? Which one to tackle next? #scriptchat
7:56 pm willentrekin: Problem with having project in production as goal = no control over achievement. Finish it. Write it well. These are attainable. #scriptchat
7:56 pm jeannevb: @DreamsGrafter re: end, yes, I have new ideas FLYING in my brain, but also am detail person, so I like current to be polished #scriptchat
7:56 pm olilewington: @DreamsGrafter Funny - that's what I just asked about! Hehe. #scriptchat

7:57 pm twatterer: @DreamsGrafter "How do you feel when you're nearing the end of a project? " Utterly MANIC! :) #scriptchat
7:57 pm willentrekin: Production is not. Like with publishing. Unless you plan to self-publish, publishing book doesn't work as goal. Futility. #scriptchat
7:58 pm DreamsGrafter: @olilewington Have you had time away from Draft 4? I'd finish that script first? Though which is the most marketable project? #scriptchat
7:58 pm jeannevb: @willentrekin i'm def learning to let go of control & focus solely on writing to the highest standards possible #scriptchat
7:58 pm PennyAsh: @olilewington Work on the one that's calling to you #scriptchat
7:58 pm elaineewing: @willentrekin u r absolutely right. #scriptchat
7:58 pm momentsoffilm: @Jonathan_Peace No, we can all react. But I think you'll get less annoyed when you filter out the unhelpful stuff. #scriptchat
7:58 pm willentrekin: Querying ten or twenty or hundred agents/editors attainable. No control over response. #scriptchat

12:15 am chipstreet: "voice" for me is character reaction to stimulus/situation, not just 'how' they say it but 'what' they say. (and don't say) #scriptchat
12:15 am Evenstephen2000: @GCGeek I try & define each character by how they relate to others. The char web slowly helps me define each char as individual #scriptchat
