2012-06-24 7:07 pm TaroJ @HateTheHate you can register your scripts with the writers guild but
putting that on your title page can seem unprofessional #scriptchat

2012-06-24 7:11 pm ijoda07 @robinbellwriter Sorry - that's Aussie slang for "manage that" #
scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:12 pm teenierussell @EvaKnoet as in a Query letter? At first instance, keep it short and
simple. Let me find some links... #scriptchat

2012-06-24 7:13 pm SteveMaggs @Bang2write Ooo yes I have a question, please. How do theatre and

2012-06-24 7:14 pm ClaireYeowart @robinbellwriter posting mine tomorrow! Good luck to you #
scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:14 pm teenierussell @robinbellwriter that is always the best approach, especially if you
really want something, just make it happen :-) #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:15 pm robinbellwriter @teenierussell @ijoda07 twisted showcase being named top 25 web
show in guardian helped I was told #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:15 pm TaroJ Found this last week about making submissions to sky, lots of good
info http://t.co/XpP1m1lw #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:15 pm HateTheHate @teenierussell I mean in progress scripts/completed scripts (mainly if
working with others)? #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:15 pm Bang2write @SteveMaggs hi, wow, massive Q! 3 Acts typical of screen like
stage, tho theatre has others, ie. Shakespearean 5 Acts #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:16 pm robinbellwriter RT @teenierussell: @robinbellwriter that is always the best approach,
especially if you really want something, just make it happen :-) #

2012-06-24 7:16 pm teenierussell @ClaireYeowart Thank you for the link! #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:16 pm HateTheHate @TaroJ It's more about not having something stolen if your writing
partner dumps you? #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:16 pm Bang2write @SteveMaggs there are other versions of screen structure too now
like Chris Soth's Mini Movie Method + John Truby's 22 Steps #
scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:17 pm ijoda07 RT @TaroJ: Found this last week about making submissions to sky,
lots of good info http://t.co/XpP1m1lw #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:17 pm robinbellwriter RT @TaroJ: Found this last week about making submissions to sky,
lots of good info http://t.co/XpP1m1lw #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:17 pm Bang2write @SteveMaggs lots at http://t.co/jHgtcXYZ, structure section of The
Required Reading List, click the label #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:18 pm ClaireYeowart @TaroJ sky don't accept unsolicited anymore though. They did
briefly, but not now. Need to go thru prod co/ agent #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:18 pm TaroJ @HateTheHate ahh I think that has to be an agreement between you,
a contract of sorts perhaps.If its a joint work it's very hard #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:18 pm teenierussell Coming Up 2013 scheme - deadline for applications 2nd July -

2012-06-24 7:19 pm SceneHeadings INT. ADVICE ROOM. DAY.... #film #script #screenplay #writersblock
#writenow #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:19 pm Bang2write @BluestormPics I'd recommend going bk to concept/logline and/or
outline - or writing one, if you don't have one! - #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:19 pm ijoda07 @TaroJ Really like that link. Makes them seem approachable and
less scary. #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:20 pm SteveMaggs @Bang2write thanks - yes I know it's huge, sorry! I've been
Theartre-ing recently and notice, for eg., no inciting inc as such #
scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:20 pm TaroJ @ClaireYeowart once you get past the first page they say which
genres require a production company attached, fingers crossed #
scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:20 pm HateTheHate @TaroJ That's the trouble ... no one wants to see "their" film come
out with another writers name on it. #scriptchat #writingPARTNERS
2012-06-24 7:21 pm Bang2write @BluestormPics sometimes concepts change *as* we write. Decide:
is this now the right destination or is it goin out of control? #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:21 pm teenierussell @HateTheHate I think what @TaroJ said. In the UK you own what
you write/ create so no official copyright... #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:21 pm jannagummo RT @scriptsense: RT @GoIntoTheStory Think concepts. Read
scripts. Watch movies. Write pages. #screenwriting #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:22 pm TaroJ @HateTheHate I think if it looks like it could be an issue, it might not
be the best person to be writing with. #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:22 pm teenierussell @HateTheHate in the US there's the WGA, so if sending a script to
the US it's an idea to register it. Working with partners... #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:22 pm ClaireYeowart @TaroJ they haven't updated their info.. I got read last year by them
they are lovely but they changed policy, got email to say #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:23 pm Bang2write @SteveMaggs yes there are big similarities and big changes ... Can
recommend Aristotle's Poetics for Screenwriters on Amazon #
scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:23 pm teenierussell @HateTheHate ...is a different ball and unless you know each other
and mostly trust each other then it can be tough. #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:23 pm Bang2write @SteveMaggs my personal fave is Writing Drama by Yves Lavandier
- good contrast of stage and screen and what "makes" good drama #
scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:24 pm SteveMaggs @Bang2write #scriptchat cont. also longer speeches and more
monologues. Interesting subject for me to study...:)
2012-06-24 7:24 pm SteveMaggs @Bang2write thankyou I'll check out the links you've sent. I'm
enjoying writing for other mediums too right now (radio, stage) #
scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:25 pm teenierussell @HateTheHate best approach might be to have a written agreement,
or e-mail to prove that this work started as a partnership #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:25 pm Bang2write @BluestormPics sometimes you just have to get it down and then reel
it in via the rewrites. No writing ever wasted! #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:26 pm teenierussell Agreed RT: @TaroJ @HateTheHate I think if it looks like it could be
an issue, it might not be the best person to be writing with #
scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:26 pm HateTheHate @teenierussell I'm not sure an email constitutes a binding agreement
(it could be used as evidence though)? #scriptchat #copyright
2012-06-24 7:28 pm SteveMaggs @Bang2write #scriptchat Quest 2: how to make character motivation
clear without being 'on the nose'. Always found this tough! Thank u
2012-06-24 7:31 pm Bang2write @SteveMaggs a tangible goal really helps, why I love sports movies -
chr wants to win a contest + learns something along the way #

2012-06-24 7:32 pm JerodB Just knocked out another short #horror script. Officially kicking ass at

2012-06-24 7:33 pm HateTheHate @teenierussell @TaroJ I have a riff on this... http://t.co/vD1fg7Ly :) #
scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:34 pm teenierussell @HateTheHate What you might want is a version of this -
http://t.co/kPH52lbr #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:34 pm SteveMaggs @Bang2write #scriptchat yes good point. If the character is complex
and they have contradictory unconscious goals...quite rough to do
2012-06-24 7:36 pm HateTheHate @teenierussell That's the stuff! I think I need a writing partner but I
think I/we should be protected. :) #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:36 pm Bang2write @SteveMaggs #scriptchat I encourage writers to break down
motivation into the intangible goal vs the tangible goal when they're
stuck
2012-06-24 7:37 pm Sandy_Nicholson @SteveMaggs When I'm stuck I use your best writing bud in the
whole world. CHARTS! #scriptchat
2012-06-24 7:37 pm Bang2write #scriptchat Character Motivation: the tangible - the THING they want
vs the intangible - what they LEARN and WHY (FYI @SteveMaggs)
2012-06-24 7:38 pm ClaireYeowart @HateTheHate @teenierussell I've just started co-writing with
someone, testing the waters with a short which proved good #

2012-06-24 7:44 pm SteveMaggs @Bang2write #scriptchat yes - understood. Within a scene, my
question is about how to make the motivation clear without being on
the nose.
