Hi Everyone,

Sorry I’ve not been posting for a bit, lots been happening, but currently I am visiting my Mom in BC.  I am working on my rewites, doing my due diligence and studying everything I can about formating my screenplay.  Do you research, plan your writing, build a frame work to begin your writing.

I will be conducting a screenwriting workshop in early June, so I will keep you all posted, in the mean time, keep writing.

So, my critique is back, and so it’s back to screenwriting 101!  Now the real process of making my film script is to a salable movie prospect, the guided rewrite.  Now that I have a professional critque, from a fellow screenwriter, and it has renewed the figor in my desire to be a “Hollywood” film writer.

Formatting it critical to any screenplay and mine needs some work, so I’m going to document the process as I’m going through it myself.  To begin with you start with the “Bible” of screenwriters, by David Trottier.  Order your copy now, if you’re serious about screenwriting, my original copy was on loan from the Didsbury Library, a much earlier version, so I’m ordering a new copy to refresh myself.  Writing is learning to profect your craft, as best you can, as a screenwriter, you start here:

Another part of my formatting that also needs some intensive work, the comments have to be moved into the “Action” tags, not in the dialogue tags as they are now.  That’s process gets reworked as I work through the  script fomatting.

My characters need more development and after a couple of years apart from each other I’m learning more about what I wanted my characters to reveal about themselves.  I’m really looking forward to this rewrite and getting to know my characters, and my movie, much better, and I’ve got a few weeks with not a lot else to do.

I’ll keep you posted on my progress and post samples of the “before and after” shots of my film.

The good news to the story is good and with a bit of work on my part this could be a winning movie in he near future, so that’s all the motivation I need, so ”on with the show this is it!”
