#Scriptchat tonight was full of tips for carving time out, focusing on your writing and ways to make yourself accountable to get that first draft down. Enjoy! @jeannevb
-
It’s #SCRIPTCHAT O’CLOCK! Topic: How do you juggle family/work, etc and make time to write? Getting that 1st draft on the pg.
-
Hallo hallo #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb Hey guys! Hey Jeanne! *waves* Great to be here! #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb Hey hey! The page isn't showing new tweets, anyone else having this issue? #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb Have actually gotten more productive with less available time. Sharpens the focus methinks #scriptchat
-
Confident this would be @UnkScreenwriter’s contribution to our topic tonight #scriptchat https://twitter.com/UnkScreenwriter/status/790276358039482368 …
-
@jeannevb Not sure if the web app we use is working. #scriptchat
-
Let's see if this works #scriptchat
-
Did scriptchat get cancelled? #scriptchat
-
Here on Twubs! #scriptchat
-
Hey, hey #scriptchat buddies! Sorry I'm late!
-
Hello? Anyone here? #scriptchat
-
I was always bad at work/script life balance. #scriptchat
-
@wcmartell tchat.io isn't working #scriptchat
-
I think having a solid way of working helps, as well as being able to break down tasks... #scriptchat
-
Ugh, the tchat.io site isn’t working. Tried it on multiple browsers. Let’s muddle thru w/Twitter #scriptchat
-
@Al_1701 Hey! Join us on Twubs #scriptchat
-
@wcmartell looks like the room isn't working #scriptchat
-
@wcmartell no, it’s on but slow bc the tchat site isn’t working. #scriptchat
-
But that usually works when you KNOW what you have to do... open creative time is trickier #scriptchat
-
For me, it's all a matter of trying to make time, plus how I feel during the day after other work #scriptchat
-
@Al_1701 The room isn't working, but #scriptchat is still happening
-
@filmwritr4 ugh, working for 8 hrs and then not having anything in the tank for your script is the worst #scriptchat
-
It can take a long time for me to finish articles, research #scriptchat
-
#scriptchat Hey, twubs works...
-
@blueneumann Yep. I have trouble thinking of ideas sometimes. Maybe it's because I write so much for my other work #scriptchat
-
OK, so let's get this chat rolling! How do you find time to write w/ kids/job, etc. #scriptchat
-
Hello all you happy people. #scriptchat
-
For a time I wrote for an hour a day, but then I never stuck to it after I finished the first draft #scriptchat
-
BTW, you can have no kids and no job and still be garbage at finding time to write #scriptchat
-
Aargh, I'm late for #scriptchat
-
#scriptchat When I worked a day job I wrote 1 page a day before work... that's 3 specs a year.
-
I have no kids (thank god considering what my sister goes through). #scriptchat
-
Aargh, late for #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann so true! #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb why do I write better with a little chaos around me? #scriptchat weird but true.
-
I find that shutting off the outside world helps. Carving a chunk of time, even if just to think and scribble ideas down #scriptchat
-
I have developed a "30 free seconds" form of writing! I have to write in tiny spurts or I don't have time to write. #scriptchat
-
RT @wcmartell #scriptchat When I worked a day job I wrote 1 page a day before work... that's 3 specs a year.
-
-
@chasinglamely we're also late starting bc of technical difficulties. No worries! #scriptchat
-
As for work, I try to keep work at work and give myself time for my own pursuits. #scriptchat
-
@SarahAlexis4 i've also become a better negotiator with wife and kids and an expert in time and favors barter ;) #scriptchat https://twitter.com/SarahAlexis4/status/790344235996286977 …
-
Finding time to power through is one thing, what about the more power/energy intensive writing duties? #scriptchat
-
@michaelhag I do too. :) #scriptchat
-
RT @wcmartell #scriptchat When I worked a day job I wrote 1 page a day before work... that's 3 specs a year.
-
Some ppl have to turn off all social media to write but I like the white noise. #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann That's the issue. Work can really sap you dry. #scriptchat
-
@Al_1701 It's supposed to be 8 hrs for work, 8 for sleep and 8 for "what you will," but that last 8 is never solid #scriptchat
-
Who is one of those early risers? #scriptchat
-
I write in the car waiting for my kids more than anywhere else, probably. #scriptchat
-
time away is the only way I know how @blueneumann #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann There's lunch and going to and from work in there. More like six hours tops. #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann @megankbickel @mizmulligan So much to do, on top of chores, lunch and dinner... #scriptchat
-
@Ai_1701 it's broken up, PLUS your drive and your meals are part of that #scriptchat
-
Writing during lunch hour is a great trick. #scriptchat
-
Blue Book Prices Going Up!: FINAL WEEK! November 1st, 2016 I am raising the prices on all of the ... http://bit.ly/2eXL7Px #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann And don't forget the errands that always seem to come up. #scriptchat
-
I have been trying to stay fresh comedically, coming up with some topical jokes on @comedywire #scriptchat
-
I had to learn to say no to a lot of people (PTA) & let go of parental-perfection #scriptchat
-
Just want to say, whenever any of you need a #writingsprint, just call it out & ppl will jump in #scriptchat
-
@Al_1701 I love running errands, gets my energy going. Can ad-lib and improvise while I do it #scriptchat
-
Indeed. My productivity and goals achieved have shot up way past when I had no kids. Plus, they inspire me SOOO much. #scriptchat https://twitter.com/blueneumann/status/790345194931621888 …
-
Even an hour a day working on scripts (like I used to do) can help. #scriptchat
-
It was hard esp because no one believed Id really finish my project or sell it. But it felt like work to me. So I set limits. #scriptchat
-
I need to do that again, though. #scriptchat
-
Not easy but impt. RT @RLSoo I had to learn to say no to a lot of people (PTA) & let go of parental-perfection #scriptchat
-
#scriptchat My outline method helped - breaking the script up into bite sized pieces.
-
I'm a teacher, so i sneak time all over the place. When I'm in computer lab, etc. My kids don't need me to hover over them. #scriptchat
-
@wcmartell I like that, but it takes a good long time for me to create that outline #scriptchat
-
Was terrified my kids would consider me a failure if I didn't sell it. #scriptchat
-
I'm taking part in NoNoWriMo to help with my creative juices. #scriptchat
-
Is it posted anywhere? RT @wcmartell #scriptchat My outline method helped - breaking the script up into bite sized pieces.
-
@wcmartell @blueneumann It can take a long time to do an outline. Tried to come up with an idea for my web series today #scriptchat
-
I'm finding that getting time to write between work and study is getting harder and harder. I've got so much I need to finish #scriptchat
-
Another struggle is when a writer's family doesn't understand the passion. Advice to help those in that spot? #scriptchat
-
My biggest issue? I've been inefficient by not outlining (lots of pg 1 rewrites). Not to be an ad, but Scrivener is my new bff #scriptchat
-
I did sell it (a novel). They were proud. For about ten minutes. #scriptchat
-
Yet, it was hard for me to come up with a funny complication and resolution in a short form story #scriptchat
-
@RLSoo I talked w/ my kids about the importance of trying, growing, learning, and subjectivity of art. Great teaching moment! #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb Have a private place and defend it like a rabid wolverine. #scriptchat
-
@indiancowboy Love Scrivener, keeps all my ideas organized #scriptchat
-
@indiancowboy I LOVE Scrivener #scriptchat
-
I totally let the housework go. My attitude: I will clean it when I am ready to sell it. #scriptchat
-
@indiancowboy I might have to try Scrivener #scriptchat
-
@RLSoo I would say if I compounded all the times my family was proud of me, it would be under ten minutes #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 It helps to have a "sacrifice" project to teach you the ropes, something you're writing for the trashcan #scriptchat
-
#scriptchat My outline method - proposed 5 page segments: http://www.scriptsecrets.net/tips/timelines.htm … Also helps with building pacing into the script.
-
Just trying to make a set time of day to write scripts could help, as it did before #scriptchat
-
@SarahAlexis4 I'm a night owl, I get all night to myself to write #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely I can't do that either. No way. #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb @indiancowboy I could never get on with scrivener; doesn't suit the way I write #scriptchat
-
I don't try to convince or ask permission anymore. I also don't ask husband or kids (teens/ya) read early drafts. #scriptchat https://twitter.com/jeannevb/status/790346747637862400 …
-
-
basic customer relationship mgmt. don't care about what you need but about what they need. twill give dividends beyond compare #scriptchat https://twitter.com/jeannevb/status/790346747637862400 …
-
@blueneumann That might work, if for nothing else but practice and a possible sample #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb I talk about WHY I write w/ my family. If they can't support something that makes me happy (& sane) we have a prob! #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely you have to use the #scriptchat hashtag or no one sees your tweets.
-
I'm up at 4 am when everyone of firmly asleep and I can get a solid 2-3 hours of work before everyone gets up. #scriptchat https://twitter.com/jeannevb/status/790346747637862400 …
-
@jeannevba! #scriptchat
-
I'm a planner. I need to cross things off my list. I break down my goals into baby steps & knock em out #scriptchat
-
Learning to compartmentalize. A set time/end time gives me freedom to write. Outside of that, focus on family when with family. #scriptchat
-
#scriptchat Find the time when it's quiet - before people are awake or after they've gone to bed or when they're gone or you are.
-
@1NonlyGene_Rol I did this when I was in high school #scriptchat
-
@megankbickel That's not the worst plan; my family don't listen until I make a sale. Then they want stuff. #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb Baby steps are great when you're working, just got one thing to do that day. #scriptchat
-
#scriptchat I also have a To Do List where I can cross things off - gives me a feeling of accomplishment and makes sure I get off my butt.
-
@blueneumann @SarahAlexis4 @jeannevb @jolenejahnke I definitely need to set a time for writing. #scriptchat
-
Specific to screenwriting (vs fiction) I wrote last screenplay with a collaborator. We had schdled work time. Kept us honest. #scriptchat
-
I'm lucky to not need quiet when I write. I can literally knock pgs out with chaos around me #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 I don't have a set time... recently it switched to daytime so I can sit and get fresh air #scriptchat
-
@wcmartell I looooove crossing things off lists #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb I have to vomit draft a complete outline then tweak it as I write. #scriptchat
-
I wonder if taking a break to prepare for writing would help, just to build energy after other work #scriptchat
-
I can't do vomit drafts anymore. I kind of have one for my pilot and it's slowing me down considerably #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb I need complete, unadulterated silence. No TV, no music, no people. #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 It might, if you need to switch gears #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 But you need to BUILD that energy. Take a walk, shower, put yourself in a different mindset #scriptchat
-
Of course, @onthepage's Coffee Break Screenwriter has lots of writing exercises that can be done in 10 minutes #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann depends on what side of the 🌞 you like to end up on. Personally it gets me through my day knowing I got my pg count #scriptchat
-
Try setting alarm reminders "Did you do 1 thing toward your writing goal today?" #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely I've always been very vocal about how sales are nice, but this process is for me. I need to write. #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann I have to with features. Never with TV. I'll literally just vomit out a pilot on a page and fix it afterwards. #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann You're definitely right about that #scriptchat
-
(1) I think the best way is to just show them. If talking happens more than doing, then the passion won't be seen. #scriptchat https://twitter.com/jeannevb/status/790346747637862400 …
-
Twitter zaps my discipline. WWF, too. If I'm honest. #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 It does. It's also the best screenwriting book on the market, for my money. @onthepage is basically my go-to now. #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb Ditto. I call it my "zone brain" - I can get in the zone regardless of environment. Have to - or I'd never write! #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely @onthepage It definitely is the best and most helpful screenwriting book out there. #scriptchat
-
@SarahAlexis4 I do that too. Baby steps and before you know it, it's done. #scriptchat
-
@megankbickel exactly. I always tell them that I really don't care if I never sell again. I just need to write. #scriptchat
-
I need to work on zone brain #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb problem is #screenwriting is "invisible work" b/c we usually work alone. Some time passes & you emerge w/a manuscript #Scriptchat
-
@RLSoo I had that problem. Had to stop watching both. #scriptchat
-
#scriptchat Think of it as slow and steady wins the race. Whether it's 1 page or 3 pages or a half page - you get closer to the end.
-
@chasinglamely @onthepage Totally demystifies the writing process, while challenging the imagination and helping each step #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely I'd never get anything done if I needed quiet! How the hell do you do it? #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 ever been to an @onthepage seminar, Chris? You really, really should. Best weekend I ever spent on my writing. #scriptchat
-
think it's different for novel writers vs screenwriters - one delivers a finished product, the other just an intermediate step #scriptchat
-
I'm half deaf. Easy to find quiet time #scriptchat
-
What about those with a job expected to be at work at 5 many days of the week. #scriptchat
-
hard to convince anyone you have completed something when you can get blocked after your intermediate step for like, ever. ;) #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb b/c of this it's hard for people to see #screenwriting as "work" because all the sweating was done behind closed doors #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann It's an acquired skill! #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely @onthepage I've never been to one of Pilar's seminars. Would love to if I get the chance. #scriptchat
-
I'm sorry. I'm not sure what you mean by 'stop'. Bad reception, maybe. :) #scriptchat https://twitter.com/chasinglamely/status/790349625425354752 …
-
RT @indiancowboy it's difft for novel writers vs screenwriters - 1 delivers a finished product, the other an intermediate step #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb find quiet? Easy. I'm quite antisocial by nature, people who know me are used to me wanting space. All the space. #scriptchat
-
Since learning the craft is important, I need to commit to reading at least 1 script a day. #scriptchat
-
We also have to remember we're stacking projects. We should factor that into our task lists #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 you really should. It's honestly the best thing you'll ever do for your career with the exception of just writing. #scriptchat
-
So what's your biggest challenge? Maybe someone here has a solution. #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely @onthepage Thanks so much Kriss. Hopefully I can get the chance to, and maybe meet you at one of them #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb my biggest challenge is finding time between my day job and my studies, at the moment. #scriptchat
-
Cutting way back in socializing & TV and movie watching has worked for me. #findingtimetowrite #scriptchat
-
#scriptchat True, but both required a beginning/middle/end of a made up world with no one needing me to persevere. #scriptchat https://twitter.com/indiancowboy/status/790349919043330048 …
-
@jeannevb stay up all night, after they go to sleep. #scriptchat
-
Every day I open my script or notebook up and put it next to my computer at work. Any 30 seconds I get, I use. #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb Just trying to make time to write scripts, and to feel up to it depending on how I feel. #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely how about finding someone to be accountable to? Like a writing buddy you have to give your weekly goals to. #scriptchat
-
@SarahAlexis4 - true that. But it's bad when you hit the zone & you want to yell, "You're existing too loud!" #scriptchat #screenwriting
-
@Al_1701 I think it's about carving out those specific times you can write and keep it consistent, even if it's short moments #scriptchat
-
Some days I don't touch it, but most days I get something done during work. #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb my problem is I outline too much... I try to dissect everything before writing the first draft. #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb never considered that... #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely it's worked for me. Bet you can find someone here. #scriptchat
-
#scriptchat Nerf guns are the answer...
-
-
Getting that start, tho. #rough #scriptchat https://twitter.com/sarahalexis4/status/790350689973264384 …
-
@Dave_Bullis omg I do the same! I'm a research freak. #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 @onthepage you never know. Of we were closer, I'd have suggested a collaboration already anyway #scriptchat
-
@megankbickel I like to have one writing issue to mull over in my brain when I'm away from proper writing. #scriptchat
-
To everything. RT @wcmartell #scriptchat Nerf guns are the answer...
-
@jeannevb wouldn't surprise me... #scriptchat
-
@1NonlyGene_Rol Absolutely. Very hard to get me going #scriptchat
-
Here's what I want you to do. Find a writing buddy here. Pair up. Be accountable to ea other for 1 month. See if it helps. #scriptchat
-
-
@filmwritr4 @JLalliWriter @jeannevb that's not a bad idea, although I don't do much of that these days! #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb well, it works for me with AA! #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb @chasinglamely Maybe we could collaborate, even though we're obviously miles away #scriptchat
-
Currently reading my toddler a "bedtime story" in a squeaky voice on the topic I'm writing about next. Indentured servitude? #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann Yes! Sometimes I have my notebook open and give myself a task like "figure out character's nickname" or whatever #scriptchat
-
@1NonlyGene_Rol we can make that work #scriptchat
-
-
I'm not so much for outlining, I just can't stand the idea of 1st draft as an inferior draft. #scriptchat #screenwriting https://twitter.com/dave_bullis/status/790351135089373184 …
-
@filmwritr4 that's true. I forget the internet is a thing. Even when I'm on it, apparently. #scriptchat
-
@WriteInTheWild haha I used to read him bedtime story in a super soft voice that put him to sleep faster #scriptchat
-
For me. The challenge is to table the other story ideas that flood my brain as I’m trying to focus on the story at hand. #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb oh my god, there's the hashtag we need for a buddy system! #scriptchat
-
@1NonlyGene_Rol Same here. I like to be loose in Scrivener. #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 we shall have to find some DM time, work something out! #scriptchat
-
@SarahAlexis4 - it's all about that three page sprint. #scriptchat
-
Wouldn't mind having a buddy #scriptchat
-
Every night write a note to yourself what you want to accomplish the next day. Make time to do it. A promise to your career. #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely Definitely! #scriptchat
-
@mdfield This is why I like Scrivener, I can brainstorm and keep it organized #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann well, #screenwritersanonymous it is, then. I wonder if I can make Twitter alert me. #scriptchat
-
I have a running list of "issues" I need to address in a script. In a down moment or two, look at list & see if I can solve one. #scriptchat
-
-
@blueneumann - I'm in #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 awesome. Added to my to-do list of stuff to do! #scriptchat
-
@megankbickel That seems to be the way to do it, especially if you have a 9-to-5er #scriptchat
-
Yep. Thinking more about a script needing to be a film for true "completion" (excl script sales, which is not my primary goal) #scriptchat https://twitter.com/RLSoo/status/790350865928482816 …
-
@jeannevb we could just form one big, bad support group via twitter #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely :) Will do as well! Looking forward to it #scriptchat
-
-
@SarahAlexis4 - at 3 pages a day, you can bang out a draft in a month. So I try to make that my goal. #scriptchat
-
-
We did. It's called #scriptchat haha RT @chasinglamely @jeannevb we could just form one big, bad support group via twitter #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely We're kind of already like that #scriptchat
-
-
@blueneumann You’re not the first one to suggest Scrivener. I may have to check it out. Thanks. #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann Yep! Sometimes you have to be able to do things that allow you to make progress even if you aren't writing pages #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb true, but it'd be nice to find a tool that alerts us on mobile, kind of an SOS hashtag to separate this from that! #scriptchat
-
@1NonlyGene_Rol I try to make it 5 pages or 1 hour, whichever comes first. Got my first draft of a sitcom pilot done that way #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 aren't we just? Oh my god, imagine if we all collaborated on one project? #ScriptchatTheMovie #scriptchat
-
@SarahAlexis4 Yeah, I do some of that. But the pull and yearning to do those stories is strong. I must have better writer will. #scriptchat
-
@mdfield I was a horse to water with it, held out forever, but it really helped (esp w/ my scatter brain) #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely Haha! That would be awesome! #scriptchat
-
#scriptchat Figure out what gets pages written for you and do that - you may not *like it*, but it's what works.
-
@filmwritr4 Nice! See, I can't properly write w/o an outline... THAT'S a big heavy job #scriptchat
-
-
@NicoleMichelePR don't beat yourself up. Try again the next day. #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 - if I get 5 pages I feel like a superhero. I could damn near take flight. #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 given the number of hypens we've got between us, we could probably get it done! #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely We all probably have a different strength we could bring to the table #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann :) Thanks. I do try to write the story in prose form and work from that on the first draft of each script #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 @chasinglamely @JLalliWriter I'm a tough mom. I'll kick your ass... but then make you cookies. :) #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely Haha! Yep! #scriptchat
-
Staton Rabin gives tips for how to make the most of your #screenwriting contest success. #scriptchat... http://fb.me/3js35Lux5
-
-
-
@filmwritr4 I'll handle the banter #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb :) Tough love. #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann almost certainly #scriptchat
-
Me want cookies. #scriptchat
-
#scriptchat I used to mentally work on my scene at the day job so that I knew what I was doing the next day. Talking to myself sometimes.
-
-
@1NonlyGene_Rol It's happened to me a few times. Very fulfilling at the end. #scriptchat
-
@wcmartell Same here #scriptchat
-
Let's talk about getting that 1st draft down. I'm a big fan of stream of consciousness writing/brainstorming to get warmed up #scriptchat
-
@wcmartell But I was working retail so I kept watching customers and basing characters off of them #scriptchat
-
-
#Scriptchat Have your spouse withhold food from you until you write 10 pages. Food is an excellent motivator
-
@wcmartell what was your day job? #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb okay, you can be mom. I want cookies now :-/ #scriptchat
-
I also love working w/my MacBook just because I love to jot notes in 📝 app & then plop them in my #screenwriting program later #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb I usually try to come up with a story in prose form, then working on the characters and the script #scriptchat
-
@chasinglamely We'd better be writing a comedy. "This is a serious drama, why is everyone joking around?" #scriptchat
-
@Jamie_Nash That doesn't work if you're rail-thin like me #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb Sometimes, my drafts tend to stray a little from the original prose story I wrote #scriptchat
-
@blueneumann no reason not to have jokes in a drama. Balance that and you've got gold. #scriptchat
-
-
I also try not to go back and read so much, because it easy to get sick of re-reading & start to hate your work. #scriptchat https://twitter.com/wcmartell/status/790354492592128000 …
-
Found the book "Deep Work" insightful. Drove me to do what it takes to find large chunks of write time #scriptchat http://a.co/gqc6Sv3
-
Writing a pilot about my day job has made having my day job more tolerable. Every time something goes wrong: grist for the mill. #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 @jeannevb I'll second that. Plus, I figure I can always extend it into a novel to give the script a 'property.' #scriptchat
-
@jeannevb I've been known to dump out a pack of M&Ms and only allow myself to eat one per half page...#scriptchat
-
And in real estate something always goes wrong. #gristforthemill #scriptchat
-
@JLalliWriter somebody already wrote a show about my day job :-( #scriptchat
-
@JLalliWriter Haha! I'd definitely read that and watch it if it was ever produced. #scriptchat
-
@Jamie_Nash - my wife just has to look at me. That look of disappointment. Brutal. #scriptchat
-
@1NonlyGene_Rol There's a look besides disappointment? #scriptchat
-
F5: NOTICE: Blue Book Prices Go Up November 1st! Get them today while they're cheap! http://sex-in-a-sub.blogspot.com/2016/10/blue-book-prices-going-up.html … #scriptchat #writing
-
@1NonlyGene_Rol I need a wife to disappoint then... any volunteers? #scriptchat
-
@JLalliWriter I might do a workplace sitcom myself, now that you mention it. #scriptchat
-
Well, that is one viewer I can count on. Real estate is a great story engine. #scriptchat https://twitter.com/filmwritr4/status/790355662291230720 …
-
@blueneumann - I sometimes get annoyed, AND, on a good day, mild amusement. #scriptchat
-
@JLalliWriter Thanks! 😆 #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 I miss those old workplace sitcoms like Just Shoot Me, where work seemed like a fun place. #scriptchat
-
@filmwritr4 they seem to make good money; I never would've seen The Office coming #scriptchat

If I wrote about my day job, people would take a red hot poker to their eyes rather than suffer that script. #scriptchat

@chasinglamely Every now and then, my brain will sing "Maya's going ot burn in hell, doo dah, doo dah!" #scriptchat

@blueneumann Yep. I admit I've only seen parts of The Office. Definitely watched Just Shoot Me #scriptchat

#ScriptChat Send me a check for $1000 dated a month from now. If you send me 90 pages I tear up the check. Otherwise, I'm buying a new TV.

Ironically, my old 'day job' is always the one people joke about wanting a script about #scriptchat

If only our co-workers/customers knew what we were secretly up to. Bwahaha. #scriptchat https://twitter.com/filmwritr4/status/790355961605226498 …

@chasinglamely Don't keep us in suspense, what was it? #scriptchat

@blueneumann that's in my head now. Thanks for that. It didn't help that I had a sister called Maia at the time... #scriptchat

@Jamie_Nash - I'm tempted to take that bet. There your motivation. #ScriptChat

@blueneumann I used to wrestle at the time. Whener I hear the 'we want you to write a show about pro wrestling' joke I cringe. #scriptchat

Yes! Especially by the bed and in the car. Notes/audio on phone works, too. #scriptchat https://twitter.com/sarahalexis4/status/790356383149465600 …

1 last tip: Write EVERY day, even if it's just 15 minutes. The story will keep simmering in your mind all day. #scriptchat

Dang! Where did that hour go?! #scriptchat

#scriptchat a notebook and pen on you at all times. First drafts are meant to be written freehand. Ideally, while in the woods somewhere.
