#Scriptchat TOP OF HR 5pm PT: Juggling family, work or school! How do you keep your #writing on track while living a life? Let’s share tips! Chat deets: http://scriptchat.blogspot.com/p/how-to-chat.html … #amwriting pic.twitter.com/8GozBI92nx- Hello, Peter from DC here. First time here. Great topic #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 Welcome Peter! #scriptchat
- Hey hey hey #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 Hey Peter, welcome! I'm in the DC area too. #scriptchat
- Hey all! #scriptchat
- IT’S #SCRIPTCHAT O'CLOCK: Juggling family, work or school! How do you keep your #writing on track while living a life? Let’s share tips! CHAT HERE: http://www.tchat.io/rooms/scriptchat … #amwriting pic.twitter.com/m0f5BwDA2p
- Lemme tell you something: I just did TWO nine hour shifts with only four hours of sleep btwn them and guess what? #scriptchat
- Great to be here, Thanks so much for the warm welcome. Hey Collin. I live in DC #scriptchat
- I stil got writing done #scriptchat
- Will there be actual juggling lessons, because I brought 3 oranges to practice with... #scriptchat
- @jeannevb This is an excellent question. Something I really struggled with last month in particular. #scriptchat
- I'm currently juggling decorating the tree and the chat... #scriptchat
- I'm currently writing my last essay of the semester whilst doing #scriptchat; I've learned the value of deadlines to a writer. #scriptchat
- Let's shout out some tips on how you get writing done while holding down a day job and/or juggling family responsibilities. #scriptchat
- FYI, the tchat.io chat room is still set at 140 characters. #scriptchat
- I write every morning before I head to work. I try to log at least an hour sometimes 2. For me, I'm freshest in the morning. #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely Yes, deadlines can be a great motivator! Whether hard deadlines for submissions or self-imposed ones to aim for. #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 protecting the time of day you're most creative is great #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 deadlines have taught me how much of an excuse writer's block is. You can do it, you just don't want to. #scriptchat
- Before I broke in (the 3rd time) I worked in a warehouse 40-48 hours a week and wrote (at least) 3 specs a year. #scriptchat
- @wcmartell are you a late-night writer? #scriptchat
- I used to set aside an hour to write every day before going to work, and the goal was 1 good page. That's 3 specs a year. #scriptchat
- Other good thing about deadlines/goals is we can kind of like reverse engineer the steps we need to get to that goal/deadline. #scriptchat
- Great topic. Finding, setting aside writing time is something I've thought about constantly. #scriptchat
- Agree with the deadline motivator. Am heading to Story Expo in NYC in March Aiming to have 2 web series/feature script done. #scriptchat
- I write afternoon-night now. I worked swing shift most of my life and those hours stuck. #scriptchat
- @blueneumann Hey Chris! *waves* #scriptchat
- Also with goals/deadlines, TELLING others about them is a good motivator. It's easy to fool yourself, less so others #scriptchat
- Helps if your job doesn't require creativity & take home work #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 Awesome. What web series scripts are you doing? Hoping to finish season 2 of my show #scriptchat
- The thing about a day job is - it's secretly "thinking about the scene I'm writing" time. #scriptchat
- One tip @zackgutin gave me years ago was to try to write during your lunch hour. If only I took a lunch break... #scriptchat
- @wcmartell Absolutely. #scriptchat
- (hey, those two posts I wrote didn't show up! The ones showing off my notebook!) #scriptchat
- I work w/ a timer a lot. Trained me to just get started and stayed focused for a doable amount of minutes per writing session. #scriptchat
- Lunch break is a great idea. #scriptchat
- I always looked for day jobs that didn't require brains (for many reasons). #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 I get fifteen minutes in my lunch break. The rest is done between customers, sometimes four words at a time #scriptchat
- For me, though, it would be great to just set aside 1 hour for screenwriting. Been very busy with article writing, too. #scriptchat
- On topic: Try to give your undivided attention to your kids when you can. That way you won't feel guilty when you have to ignore them for a few days when you're on a deadline. #scriptchat
- A big help for me was breaking down types of writing. "Active" writing that requires concentration you can't do at work #scriptchat
- @jeannevb Also, utilizing time time when waiting. Like waiting for an appointment or for something to start. #scriptchat
- @wcmartell My job involves talking to people all the time, so very little time to think about scenes. #retail #scriptchat
- Lunch break is a good plan - just write one good page... they add up! I would rewrite and do clean up on days off. #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 Online word sprints work well too. #scriptchat
- "Passive" stuff like brainstorming, prep work, playing with dialogue, you can do while at work... since they take time anyway #scriptchat
- Sometimes I get up early in the morning to write. I have used a timer to keep me on track. #scriptchat
- If you have a life, you need to make sure your writing time is productive. It's not Twitter/YouTube/writing time. Just write. #scriptchat
- Yesterday, I finally finished working on the first draft of some supplemental content I'm working on for the show. #scriptchat
- @DevSeventyFive Yes, I do group ones or solo-sprints! Nice to have the good energy/company writing w/ others. #scriptchat
- Always have a way to write down ideas. They might come during other parts of your life. Jot them down, come back to them later. #scriptchat
- Breaking writing down into simple tasks with clear goals, I think, is key to making progress in a chaotic time #scriptchat
- There are some good apps/extensions out there for helping to minimize the distractions of notifications/internet while writing. #scriptchat
- At university, I write from midnight to 3am on whatever paper is due. Classes 9-3, work 5-11. #scriptchat
- I am an IT nerd and go to a lot of boring meetings. Plenty of time to daydream. #scriptchat
- Do any of you have tools/programs/schedules/apps to keep you organized and on track? #scriptchat
- @blueneumann I agree! Chunking a project down into doable steps. Can make the whole seem less overwhelming too. #scriptchat
- @jeannevb If short on time during lunch break, spend 5 min making a writing to-do list to tackle in the evening. Helps focus ur creative energy #scriptchat
- With the winter break coming up, my plan is to make sure I sit down and write 3,000 every day by 5pm. #scriptchat
- I started using the notes section on my cell phone to jot down ideas if I'm on the metro. #scriptchat
- No programs, no schedules, I'm not great at adhering to them... plus I can't predict my inspiration. #scriptchat
- @jeannevb A few weeks ago, I came up with a schedule for writing. I just need to follow it, or revise it to fit my article work #scriptchat
- @jeannevb I love how I can label the status of my scenes in Scrivener. So index cards I mark "To Do" "First Draft" etc. #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 I took a Lyft home today and used my notes section, which was actually inspired by events in the car #scriptchat
- @DevSeventyFive @AnotherEitan Like many writers, it's his way of dealing with the fact that he has no friends #scriptchat
- I have ~40 days off. At 3,000 words per day, that's a novel. Or about three screenplays. #scriptchat
- I would do an outline first, so that I knew what I needed to write each day. One issue with a page a day is knowing they add up- #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @jeannevb Same here! I also love how i can organize my thoughts, helps me know what I need to write next #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 I only use Scrivener for my novels & for organizing research. I've never tried to write a script with it, have u? #scriptchat
- There's a app that I downloaded called Slack. Awesome way to collaborate with other creatives, writers. Am lovin it. #scriptchat
- @jeannevb @SarahAlexis4 Actually no... I like to start fresh when the actual script starts, to keep things simple #scriptchat
- - add up to a story, and each page mattered and wasn't just "tap dancing" to make my quota. #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 I'll check that out. #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 we use Slack at work. #scriptchat
- Ending the day's writing session w/ breadcrumbs/notes as to where to pick up next can help keep momentum going for the next day. #scriptchat
- A strong support system really helps… and finding people who keep you accountable. #scriptchat pic.twitter.com/hQEZi3QaL7
- I just looked at Slack; not sure how I'd use it. #scriptchat
- @jeannevb Yes, accountability! Writing buddies, writing groups, online programs. Also nice to have that sense of community. #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 I love ending my day after just starting a new scene. Next day, I'm not staring at a blank page. #scriptchat
- I don't see the point in artificial deadlines or rituals. I just write when & where I can #scriptchat
- Hard part of writing with family is getting them to leave you alone. Before they are awake or after asleep helps. Or threats. #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @jeannevb Finding a writing group around here that isn't too snobby for screenwriters is incredibly hard. #scriptchat
- @wcmartell I don't have kids, but my cat makes this difficult for me. #scriptchat
- I've floundered last week, but have been waking at 5am to write before the house wakes. So hard to get out of bed, but I'm so happy once I do. #scriptchat
- @rdlln Agreed! But I do try to maximize my productivity when it comes around, mine it for all its' worth #scriptchat
- @wcmartell yeah, unfortunately I'm up so damn early staying up after them isn't an option #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely @SarahAlexis4 @jeannevb You could always start a Meetup group. That's how I met my current group. #scriptchat
- @jeannevb I usually move from Scrivener to FD but I do often write rough/first draft scenes in Scrivener 1st if I started there. #scriptchat
- @rdlln If you can get stuff finished without deadlines, great - but eventually there will be deadlines. #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely @SarahAlexis4 @jeannevb I'm part of a local writer's group here, arranged through Meetup. #scriptchat
- @collinlieberg @SarahAlexis4 @jeannevb If I had a static schedule, I would. We have a writers' society at my uni, but I can't go #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @jeannevb Same here... but I lay out the key moments on the cards, then put that into FD #scriptchat
- @wcmartell Some people just don't get the importance of silence. #scriptchat
- Find an accountability buddy to report to weekly. Kinda like Weight Watchers. Having to admit you cheated keeps u on track #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely @SarahAlexis4 @jeannevb Not having a set schedule definitely hinders me a bit. Some days work at 7am, others 2pm #scriptchat
- I've twice resorted to setting up shop in our small bathroom to avoid familial distractions. T'is tricksy to concentrate when everyone is home. #scriptchat
- @collinlieberg @chasinglamely @SarahAlexis4 @jeannevb Same here. best you can do is adjust to the schedule you're given #scriptchat
- @DevSeventyFive @wcmartell I'm shocked that isn't a movie yet. An angry writer kills those who interrupt his writing time. #scriptchat
- I do run 2 Facebook groups - one for web series writers, and another for screenwriters of all mediums #scriptchat
- @wcmartell yeah, but at that point you're getting paid to make them & can spend your days writing #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely @SarahAlexis4 @jeannevb I feel that. Also, my day is essentially uni, work, write, sleep. 7 days a week. #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 To which I say thanks for having me as a member. :) #scriptchat
- Some people need something to keep them writing - keep them moving towards "Fade Out". Others can just do it. #scriptchat
- I have a transcriptionist who does 30 pages at a time... my challenge to myself is "how quickly can I do 30 pages?" #scriptchat
- @collinlieberg You're very welcome! #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @DevSeventyFive @wcmartell you know, as soon as I hit send that occured to me! #scriptchat
- A friend wants to see this 👇👇happen for #Supergirl #writer #amwriting #writing #writerslife #writers #screenwriting #screenplay #screenwriter #scifi #superhero #Superheroes #DCComics #StrongerTogether #Resist #authors #author #fiction #scriptchat #scripts #NYTimesBestSeller https://twitter.com/deadcon8/status/942560164837720064 …
- @filmwritr4 I'm in at least one of them, but I'm just not terribly active! #scriptchat
- One thing I really started to appreciate switching between Scrivener, FD and paper notes is how important "simplicity" is #scriptchat
- When it becomes your job, you need to be able to work on a deadline. Sometimes training is required. #scriptchat
- @mizmulligan @ThatHennessyGuy @thegarygraham RE: Accountability, @ThatHennessyGuy and @thegarygraham run #WRAC17 (there will be a #WRAC18) https://www.facebook.com/groups/WRAC17/ #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely It's okay! I need to be more active in mine, too! Both of them! #scriptchat
- @blueneumann What is FD? #scriptchat
- @FlutterFerret Final Draft #scriptchat
- (why does windows pick *now* to download some damned update?) #scriptchat
- If I have a self-imposed time to write, it keeps me on track. I am too easily distracted by surfing, etc. 5-7 am for me. #scriptchat
- Keep a note pad with you at all times, or use your voice recorder on your phone, to catch those random ideas that pop up. #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 I hope, when I'm big enough to quit my job, I can retain that writing schedule #scriptchat
- That's something I love about "writing" at work. No internet, no TV, no distractions (besides customers) #scriptchat
- I remember getting some great writing advice from @thelaurengraham's memoir. It was about setting aside an hour and writing; #scriptchat
- But also great thing about working: I keep a running list of interesting names, as well as make notes of interesting people #scriptchat
- the premise was that in that hour, you open two docs. One for the writing and one for venting. Always be writing in one of them. #scriptchat
- lol. It ain't easy Chris. And sometimes it's an hour or I get up at 3 am so that counts #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 the other benefit to writing before work is it keeps the story in your head all day for organic ideas to emerge. #scriptchat
- I find working on one project at a time, even if I'm taking notes or brainstorming ideas for others, is effective for me. #scriptchat
- @AnotherEitan @wcmartell If it's an assignment that doesn't pay enough to quit my day job I can't take it, since I know my job is too demanding to make the deadline #scriptchat
- @collinlieberg That way I'm not stretching my writing time over multiple half-finished projects and not getting any done #scriptchat
- @collinlieberg (As opposed to me, as we established earlier) #scriptchat
- @jeannevb @Chiefscribe1 Yes, I love how morning writing (& writing regularly) keep the project simmering away in subconscious. #scriptchat
- Stephen King's 'On Writing' also has great advice on getting words on the page while working. #scriptchat
- I love letting things stew... I know people are nuts about writing to just write, but I try not to unless I know what I'm saying #scriptchat
- @collinlieberg @filmwritr4 @thelaurengraham indeed. Writing advice aside, the most enjoyable memoir I've ever read. So funny. #scriptchat
- (well, mostly). Because I have to go through all that shit again #scriptchat
- @jeannevb Agreed. And doubles as another incredibly funny memoir. #scriptchat
- @jeannevb Pressfield's The War of Art is also good in terms of resistance and procrastination, etc. #scriptchat
- i get ideas and write stuff down at all hours. My phone has become a good, if passive writing companion. #scriptchat
- @DevSeventyFive I liked that book. She also has a great podcast companion to that called Magic Lessons. #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 My phone is the enemy during my writing time. I deliberately let it run flat before that time starts. #scriptchat
- @collinlieberg Focusing on 1 project at a time works best. #scriptchat
- I use my phone to record notes, thoughts, ideas... #scriptchat
- One At A Time: Also helps with rewrites. Finish B, rewrite A, write and finish C, rewrite B, etc. Alternate projects - FINISHING #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 I don't often, but I have in the past. #scriptchat
- Write your goals down. Then break them up into baby steps with goal dates for each step. It helps. #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely I put mine in my desk drawer sometimes so I can't see notifications pop up and don't absentmindedly pick it up. #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @Chiefscribe1 absolutely. If I'm writing, nothing else matters. If you need to interrupt, you'd better be dying. #scriptchat
- @jeannevb Good thing about doing that is one could celebrate/acknowledge the milestones along the way. Nice to note progress. #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely @filmwritr4 @Chiefscribe1 The problem is me writing looks like me not writing, so I always get interrupted #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 I don't have enough space in my desk drawer for my phone!!! #scriptchat
- At the warehouse, I once had an amazing scene idea, wrote it down on the top of a box... and had to cut off the top of the box! #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @filmwritr4 @Chiefscribe1 I have a rule with my family and friends: If I have a laptop open, assume I'm writing. #scriptchat
- @AnotherEitan @wcmartell If I didn't have a family & job that requires work after work, I could make a deadline #scriptchat
- @wcmartell I keep getting ideas for SF stuff from recycling, co-workers think I'm crazy for photographing junk! #scriptchat
- What I love about #WRAC17 is you state your goals & they support you so you can cross the finish line... with reminders, too #scriptchat
- @DevSeventyFive @SarahAlexis4 I went six months without a phone. Everyone said I was crazy, but I've never been happier. #scriptchat
- @wcmartell That's great. JK Rowling tweeted that she came up w/ the Hogwarts houses on airplane sick bag. haha #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @jeannevb @thelaurengraham me too. She's just the most down to earth celeb ever. So normal. #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @wcmartell I wouldn't trust everything she tweets, though. She's been known to be a little... unreliable. #scriptchat
- Being an artist means being trained to bring a book with you #scriptchat
- I have a calendar on my wall where I write down how many pages I write each day. Goose eggs guilt me into working harder. #scriptchat
- @blueneumann Absolutely. I could leave the house naked. I couldn't leave without a book. #scriptchat
- Reading is part of writing. So if you can't write in 15 min increments btwn work, at least have a book with you & read. #scriptchat
- @wcmartell the walk of shame. #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely I keep getting blank books for gifts. Never use them. Make my own from laser paper reams and get 'em bound #scriptchat
- For me, it's a tough balance between the discipline of schedule without inhibiting the creative juices. #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely Much cheaper, more easily disposable, you can rip pages out, etc... #scriptchat
- @gaffneyfilm make sure to use the #scriptchat has tag so people can see your thoughts!
- @jeannevb I'm usually busy reading news of some sort during lunch. On my phone. #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @chasinglamely I have a special leather-bound notebook that a friend made for me. It's my best friend. #scriptchat
- Setting boundaries can be tough, yet it important to protect writing time. Sometimes may have to say no to things if we can... #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely That's cool! I have some real nice ones... but I can't bring myself to write in them #scriptchat
- @DevSeventyFive @blueneumann it's not trendy enough to sell. That's why I'm working on "Fidget Spinner: The Movie" #scriptchat
- Once you do it for a living, your new day job becomes going to meetings... when do I find time to write? #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @chasinglamely I had a story idea for my web series that came up before I went to bed once. Forgot it after... #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @DevSeventyFive Plus, you lose the potential free advertising when Vivid make their "parody" version. #scriptchat
- That would be pointless for me since I've no way to gauge in advance how much writing time I'll have available @jeannevb #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @chasinglamely And I did explain the idea to a friend, who'll be working with me and Kriss on the show. #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @chasinglamely That's the worst, coming up wth an idea and realizing you already wrote it. #scriptchat
- Shout out your biggest specific struggle & maybe someone has a tip to help... #scriptchat
- But I can see how it could help for those who do @jeannevb #scriptchat
- @jeannevb Getting enough enthusiasm to do "hard" writing when I'm so exhausted from working! #scriptchat
- @jeannevb Short attention span, getting bored with what I'm doing, distraction. All part of the same bag. #scriptchat
- @rdlln Maybe just make a list then, with no due dates. Keep crossing off as you accomplish the mini goal. #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @filmwritr4 I always have the Seinfeld thing when I do that."Fast monkey spasm... does that mean anything to you?" #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @filmwritr4 @chasinglamely No - worst is having a really great idea, not writing it down, forgetting it. #scriptchat
- @collinlieberg @jeannevb This is why I make soundtracks and keep visual inspiration... to kickstart the mood #scriptchat
- @wcmartell @blueneumann @filmwritr4 just my opinion, but if an idea is truly great, you'll never forget it. #scriptchat
- When I ran into problems with my one page, I'd make a list of things that I needed in that page for the story. Outline! #scriptchat
- @jeannevb my biggest struggle is having not enough hours in the day! #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely @wcmartell @blueneumann @filmwritr4 You don't know how good I am at forgetting stuff! #scriptchat
- I am bombarded by ideas from CNN headline, a random web site, a couple arguing in Starbucks. Now I can write that stuff down. #scriptchat
- @wcmartell @chasinglamely @filmwritr4 @chasinglamely @jeannevb Neither would you... since you forgot! #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 Very interesting. #scriptchat
- So many great tips! #scriptchat pic.twitter.com/ikI5mQ6lKy
- We all want to be productive, but it's important not to beat yourself up when you don't meet your goals. Start fresh next day. #scriptchat
- I've only got one goal, get the script to the point where I'm ready to share it @jeannevb #scriptchat
- @jeannevb Absolutely! You can't make good progress if you fixate on bad progress #scriptchat
- @jeannevb Goals can be adjusted. #scriptchat
- @jeannevb I don't know... Beating yourself up a little here and there AIN'T all bad... #scriptchat
- For all #screenwriting #scriptchat lurkers out there, hop in. We don't bite. :) Just use #scriptchat hashtag or sign in here: http://www.tchat.io/rooms/scriptchat …
- @blueneumann @jeannevb That was part of what @thelaurengraham was saying as part of her process #scriptchat
- I think it's important not to *reward yourself* for "failure". People get depressed, reward themselves - and that's a bad habit! #scriptchat
- @collinlieberg @blueneumann @jeannevb @thelaurengraham Indeed. In fact, I'd love it if we could persuade her to be a guest one #scriptchat
- @wcmartell However, it is good to *celebrate* success. #scriptchat
- Don't beat yourself up, but don't reward yourself. If I don't make my pages, no movie for me! No ice cream! #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @chasinglamely @collinlieberg @jeannevb 2018 will be the year of celebrity guests asking "uh, whatchat?" #scriptchat
- @jeannevb I agree. We can learn/adjust accordingly from days when no writing is done. A new day is a chance to go for it again. #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @collinlieberg @jeannevb that's literally my dream cast for almost anything I've ever written. #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @chasinglamely @collinlieberg @jeannevb I still need to watch Con Man, too. Been meaning to. #scriptchat
- I think for me the key is writing regularly and keeping momentum going. Some days may just be a bare minimum goal, that's okay. #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely @collinlieberg @blueneumann @jeannevb @thelaurengraham @AlanTudyk Would love to have them as guests here. #scriptchat
- Remember to pace yourself, and you can take "you" time if you need it. Gotta take care of you. #scriptchat
- But if no words get written day after day, change up your routine/thinking. Def of insanity is doing same thing over & over. #scriptchat
- F5: SECRETS OF ACTION SCREENWRITING - under $10! How do you write a fight scene? "The best book on the practical nuts-and-bolts mechanics of writing a screenplay I've ever read," Ted Elliott. "Shrek", "Pirates Of The Caribbean" https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Action-Screenwriting-fully-revised-ebook/dp/B006KTHKSA/secretsofactions … #scriptchat #amwriting #film
- Healthy body healthy mind means more and better pages #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @collinlieberg @blueneumann @jeannevb @thelaurengraham @AlanTudyk maybe if we tag them enough they'll get curious... #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely @filmwritr4 @collinlieberg @blueneumann @jeannevb @thelaurengraham @AlanTudyk They probably have filters... #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely @filmwritr4 @collinlieberg @jeannevb "People always talk about me...I can't hear a word they're sayin..." #scriptchat
- The goal is to finish. Fade Out or The End or whatever. Find what gets those results and do that. #scriptchat
- Yep, for me when I write daily it keeps my inspiration alive and momentum fuels forward movement. #scriptchat
- Sometimes I fall into the trap of thinking there’s always something else to read or study rather than just writing. I think it feels easier than the struggle of actually writing pages. #scriptchat
- @jeannevb I always feel a boost of energy & inspiration at AFF in October. To sustain that, I often listen to a wide range of screenwriting podcasts to/from work. #scriptchat
- @collinlieberg @filmwritr4 @blueneumann @jeannevb @thelaurengraham @AlanTudyk I don't have my blue tick yet, either... #scriptchat
- Every word written is one word closer to FADE OUT. Just get there. #scriptchat
- Sometimes what works may not be something you like - doesn't matter. Do what works. Writing is a job (or will be eventually). #scriptchat
- I tend to "multi-task." Write while watching something (often with the wife). It's slow, but I do usually get *something* done #scriptchat
- @jeannevb not if those words are "FADE OUT" though... #scriptchat
- Everyone has their own rhythm and keeping balance and fun in the equation is equally important #scriptchat
- FADE OUT means time to start rewriting. #scriptchat
- Better to burn out than fade away. Better still to FADE OUT after burning away. #scriptchat
- @FlutterFerret Hey David! *waves* #scriptchat
- @SherandtheCity I can't read my handwriting haha #scriptchat
- @FlutterFerret Unless you write out of order. #scriptchat
- Thanks for a great chat & a great 2017 #scriptchat! We’re taking the next 3 weeks off for the holidays and #GoldenGlobes! Join us back on January 14th at 5pm PT pic.twitter.com/xayhNWP438
- Nice chatting with you. Happy writing, all! #scriptchat
- @jeannevb What? Writers can't take three weeks off, that's suicide! #scriptchat
- @DevSeventyFive @FlutterFerret I write out of order, so try to figure out what's needed before and after #scriptchat
- Happy Holidays everyone! #scriptchat
- @jeannevb Aww, I'm going to miss everyone! #scriptchat
- @chasinglamely I'm looking fwd to the break. More writing time. #scriptchat
- @jeannevb ⬆️. This! “Bird by bird” - I always dream of having an entire day or an entire block of time to focus but it never comes. Writing sprints (even 30min) really can be effective. #scriptchat
- @wcmartell you too, Bill! #scriptchat
- @Chiefscribe1 @wcmartell @blueneumann @DevSeventyFive @FlutterFerret @jeannevb Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! #scriptchat
- Merry Christmas one and all, and to all a good write. #RuinedAPoem #scriptchat
- Ho ho ho! #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @chasinglamely @collinlieberg Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! #scriptchat
- Happy writing, y'all. Happy holidays and keep hustling.... #scriptchat
- @jeannevb That's a good point... #scriptchat
- Happy holidays and New Year, everyone! Thanks for chatting, as always. :) #scriptchat
- Why didn't my book plug show up at 5:55? #scriptchat
- @wcmartell I've not seen it for the last few weeks. #scriptchat
