Okay so I’ve never been a screenwriter, never even attempted it but I’ve always loved the style in which those kinds of stories are written.
For a long while now I’ve wanted to write a fanfiction based on that format so I figured I needed a place to start.
I ended up ordering this book (which should arrive on Friday). I wasn’t even looking for this type of book. It just came across one of my random searches for something else but it sounded interesting. From what I understand it’s a very good tool and resource. It’s over 400 pages but I can work with that. I’ve seen many positive reviews and many sites I’ve visited say it’s one of the best out there.
That’s the fun of writing you know- expanding your horizons and trying new styles and new things. For so long, I’ve always wanted to try this kind of style, even if it is just for fanfiction or general fiction.
I look forward to trying this book out and seeing what I can learn from it.

I seriously can’t wait to get started. Glad I ordered more tabs and got fresh highlighters because it seems as if I’ll really need both 🙂

Plus I’m hoping this guide will help me get out of my writing funk/writer’s block. That’s probably what I need, a change in writing style, something fresh and new.

Another great thing about the book is that it’s a current edition (7th) which was published in 2019 so it has a lot of relevant information. Gah, can’t wait for it to arrive!

Oh that looks like a cool book! I tried writing monologues and short scripts before, I wasn’t very good at it. I gave up too quickly I think.

I saw it when I went to the bookstore today but my copy had already shipped so there was no point in getting it. I did look it over though and it seems really good.

Okay, this time I really can blame this on my bipolar disorder. One of the main symptoms I struggle with is over-spending. And usually, once I get a thought about a purchase in my head I can’t get it out despite how much I try to self-control. It ends up consuming my mind until I “fix” it. So even though I have a book coming in on Friday, I was too impatient to wait until then and went back to the bookstore to get it. It was this screenwriter’s book. LOL!

That’s cool you at least tried it Sophie. I’m still in the process of fleshing my story out. I’ve got the character profiles so now it’s a matter of putting the story together. I have this Supergirl/Batwoman fanfiction that I do want to work on as a script, something different than my usual writing. I have the entire story written, I just want to do it in script format this time. Just need to learn how first.
