USA Scriptchat Transcript Guest Ryne Douglas Pearson


USA #Scriptchat: Guest Ryne Douglas Pearson @rynedp, novelist and screenwriter of KNOWING

USA welcomed guest @rynedp to our chat. Ryne was amazing at fielding questions and giving invaluable advice on navigating the industry. Sadly, the TweetReports site wasn’t archiving tweets, so I missed being able to pull the EURO transcript. I will continue to keep trying and contact the company for help. Luckily, I was able to pull the transcript for Ryne’s appearance from TweetChat, but you’ll have to read the tweets backwards. I’m terribly sorry for the inconvenience. Scroll down to the bottom to start the thread. You might want to pour an extra tequila for your troubles J @jeannevb

rynedp Knowing was just an idea that I pitched and was purchased on that basis. It was in my notebook for years. Go figure :) #scriptchat -8:07 PM Jul 31st, 2011
  
sephirosiris RT @rynedp: That plane crash scene still freaks me out. #scriptchat -8:06 PM Jul 31st, 2011

shells48 Q which do you find more challenging being a novelist or a screenwriter? #scriptchat -8:06 PM Jul 31st, 2011
  
rynedp I started with novels. 139 rejections before getting agent. He sold it right away. 4th novel was bought for film. #scriptchat -8:06 PM Jul 31st, 2011
  
jeannevb @scriptdreric @rynedp Q: yes, would love to know how you got your start & about merging being novelist & screenwriter #scriptchat -8:06 PM Jul 31st, 2011
  
quiksilverscrip RT @rynedp With ePublishing now, spec on prose for sci-fi will definitely at least be seen by more people in all likelihood. #scriptchat -8:05 PM Jul 31st, 2011
  
Screen_Bug Sounds like @jeannevb wants to par-tay! Something to do while I'm working on Act III of my script! #scriptchat -8:05 PM Jul 31st, 2011
  
Talltales08 @rynedp Q: I don't know much about "Knowing", how did the idea come about? Was it a spec? #scriptchat -8:05 PM Jul 31st, 2011
  
scriptdreric @rynedp Wondered if you could talk about bit about your start. A lot of folks want to write novels. How'd ya break through? #scriptchat -8:05 PM Jul 31st, 2011
  
Jamie_LD Tweetchat isn't working for me, so to the Deck. #scriptchat -8:05 PM Jul 31st, 2011
  
quiksilverscrip @rynedp about Spec vs. Assign: yep! ty! ty! TY! :) #scriptchat -8:05 PM Jul 31st, 2011

rynedp I was totally cool with credits outcome. Stiles & Juliet are fantastic writers. #scriptchat -8:04 PM Jul 31st, 2011
  
rdlln @rynedp would you recommend someone with no creds write a scifi novel instead of a scifi spec script? #scriptchat -8:03 PM Jul 31st, 2011
  
elizabethkarr @jeannevb Very excited that @rynedp is guest of honor. One of the nicest, smartest guys on twitter. :) #scriptchat -8:03 PM Jul 31st, 2011
  
rynedp On Spec, it's total freedom. When writing on assignment, there's some 'agreement' prior as to what the result should be. #scriptchat -8:03 PM Jul 31st, 2011
