dictionaryofobscuresorrows: adj. hearing a person with a thick accent pronounce a certain phrase—the Texan “cooler,” the South African “bastard,” the Kiwi “thirty years ago”—and wanting them to repeat it over and over until the vowels pool in the air and congeal into a linguistic taffy you could break apart and give as presents. This is probably the best blog I’ve found in months

Putting this out there
Would anyone be interested in me posting a thing about how to write action cleanly and smartly in script format?   It was kinda my specialty at USC.  And I can provide examples. So yeah, anyone interested?

Sometimes I feel like the only GoT fan who loves...
marisakatebella: Seriously, I don’t understand where all the hate comes from on both parts. I love Arya because she’s tough and does stuff her way, but I love Sansa because she learns to play the game and that takes a lot of brains. Arya is the brawn and Sansa is the brain. It’s like two sides of the same coin. I feel like it’s impossible to have one without the other. So what if Arya is cruel...

Quick career update!
A manager read my thesis, said, and I quote “I fucking loved it” and was surprised I wasn’t represented yet.  She wants to meet with me about it.

Screenwriting: Beef up your main conflict →
scootywoopinaway: What’s the main conflict of your story?  Is it a powerful force that engages the emotions of your reader or does it leave them feeling flat and let down? THE MAIN CONFLICT is one of those areas where a minor improvement can often make a huge difference in the quality of the read.  So it is well worth reconsidering that conflict. Let’s see if we can make this easy. First, a...

People say the first thing on their mind, then they expand on it, then they clarify the first statement. To expand on this, the key to making GOOD natural sounding dialogue is to make even the tangents and elliptical points be relevant to the character’s intention.  Watch...

The story of Saul and the Amalekites is a case in point. It’s not a pretty...
