Writing anything down that you find interesting for your screenwriting isn't just about remembering it.
It helps train your mind to see the world through that lens.
Is this a story? A moment? A character?
You'll start asking this out of habit.
#screenwriting
Focus on ways your character’s attempts to solve their problems can create bigger problems.

Lawrence Kasdan
Lawrence Kasdan: “My films are about the conflict between our ideas and desires, and that’s where the drama is for me. We know how we’re supposed to act, but we’re in rebellion against the things we’ve been taught." medium.com/go-into-the-... #screenwriting #writing #scriptsky
Page One: “Terminator Salvation” (2009), written by John Brancato & Michael Ferris

The idea that certain events happen on certain pages in screenwriting sounds ridiculous because it is.
But so are training wheels. Which is what those suggestions are.
Once you get comfortable with that rhythm, you can drop it and focus on the story's actual needs instead.

Just a quick #Scriptsky #Screenwriting post about COVER PAGES.
Requirements: Title and written by.
A good idea: Contact info (ideally for your agent/manager)
Maybe: A logo or image that helps establish tone/subject.
Hell no: AI art of any kind! When I see it, I instantly dislike the writer.

With a two-hander, a big decision for your screenwriting is when they become a team/couple.
- Rom-com template is at the end.
- Buddy movies just before Act 3.
- Love stories before the midpoint.
Make this decision; regardless of genre, the rest of the structure simplifies.

Screenwriter and playwright Lenore Coffee circa 1925
Irving Thalberg (producer): "What’s all this business about being a writer? It’s just putting one word after another."
Lenore Coffee (screenwriter): "Pardon me, Mr. Thalberg. It’s putting one *right* word after another.” #screenwriting #scriptsky
Tough to get negative feedback on pitches that were professionally developed. Still, will definitely revisit my written pitch after my @Stage32 feedback. Sharing because I think it's good to share how many losses it takes before there's a win. #screenwriting
2 scripts made it to the semifinalist and another script made it to a new quarterfinalist. @stage32.bsky.social
