July 22, 2012, 7:32 pm       



 
@ijoda07: @TaroJ Yeah, me too. Also good way to start a collaboration - fun, theatre etc. @NotLongNowUK - then can do a movie after! #scriptchat

@teenierussell: @vickyhinault Self-taught and always learning. When I started writing my first script I had no idea about format #scriptchat
July 22, 2012, 7:36 pm       



 
@TaroJ: @vickyhinault not really, studied media and film but writing needed a whole new set of skills. #scriptchat
July 22, 2012, 7:37 pm       



 
@teenierussell: @vickyhinault How about you? Are you thinking about doing a course? #scriptchat
July 22, 2012, 7:37 pm       



 
@TaroJ: @teenierussell @vickyhinault formatting is easy to learn. Telling a good story, thats the tough bit #scriptchat
July 22, 2012, 7:38 pm       



 
@ijoda07: @teenierussell @vickyinhault Got half way through Diploma in screenwriting. Also studied copywriting. Deferred frm screenwriting #scriptchat

@ijoda07: @teenierussell I don't think writers should restrict themselves to a genre when they're starting out. #scriptchat @NotLongNowUK
July 22, 2012, 7:39 pm       



 
@ijoda07: @teenierussell Might miss an unseen opportunity. #scriptchat
July 22, 2012, 7:39 pm       



 
@vickyhinault: @TaroJ @teenierussell So true, formatting is essentially a set of rules, no one can tell you how to come up with a great plot. #scriptchat
July 22, 2012, 7:40 pm       



 
@ijoda07: @TaroJ And telling it concisely. In a way that will engage the reader. #scriptchat @vickyinhault

@TaroJ: @TaroJ @teenierussell @vickyhinault my job has helped a lot. I work on ads in tv so copywriting really helps you learn to edit #scriptchat
July 22, 2012, 7:41 pm       



 
@HateTheHate: #scriptchat Should we be writing for the PG13 audience rather than writing for ourselves? #americanMARKET :)
July 22, 2012, 7:41 pm       



 
@ijoda07: @TaroJ @teenierussell @vickyhinault That's what taught me to write too! #scriptchat

July 23, 2012, 12:03 am     



 
@Jamie_LD: @JennaAvery Any ideas? #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:03 am     



 
@Jamie_LD: @GCGeek What would you like to know? What's your burning question? :-) #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:03 am     



 
@countmystars: #scriptchat Anyone have tips for dealing with the seemingly inevitable self-doubt in the midst of a project?
July 23, 2012, 12:04 am     



 
@JennaAvery: @Jamie_LD I experimented with different writing mediums the other day and got to new places. #scriptchat

@AndiWritesAgain: Whom here as adapted from stage to screen? #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:04 am     



 
@JennaAvery: @countmystars Yes. Tip 1: remember that it is totally normal but don't believe it for a minute. #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:04 am     



 
@Jamie_LD: @countmystars I deal with that on page 150 of every novel, and page 50 of every script. Just keep writing and don't look back! #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:04 am     



 
@Jamie_LD: @JennaAvery That's great. Improved on your idea? #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:05 am     



 
@JennaAvery: @countmystars Tip 2: Take a look at each individual thought and challenge it / reframe it. #scriptchat

@RaviVora: What are some of the best tips on writing compelling and natural dialogue? #scriptchat

@Jamie_LD: @GCGeek I would never put samples on my website. For me I think it looks amateurish. Anyone else? #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:06 am     



 
@SarahAlexis4: @GCGeek That's a good question. I've seen some examples of writer's websites w/ loglines and other promotional info. #scriptchat

@GCGeek: @Jamie_LD Curious. Why amateurish? #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:08 am     



 
@JennaAvery: @Jamie_LD Thanks, Jamie! #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:08 am     



 
@countmystars: @Jamie_LD I legit DO have to write this so I can show it to someone. Which may be part of the problem. "What will they think?" #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:08 am     



 
@SarahAlexis4: @jeannevb @JennaAvery That's great, looking forward to future posts! #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:08 am     



 
@Jamie_LD: @GCGeek I guess because you don't see "working" writers who do it. Usually it's "aspiring" as much as I hate that word. #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:09 am     



 
@AndiWritesAgain: RT @SarahAlexis4: @jeannevb @JennaAvery Thats great, looking forward to future posts! #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:09 am     



 
@SarahSumpolec: @Jamie_LD @GCGeek #scriptchat - yes - it feels amateurish - it's not considered professional in the publishing world...
July 23, 2012, 12:09 am     



 
@RaviVora: @Jamie_LD @GCGeek That also might be just because the "work speaks for itself" with established writers. #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:10 am     



 
@GCGeek: @SarahAlexis4 Yes. Something with more info than just a business card. #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:10 am     



 
@Jamie_LD: @countmystars Don't care what they think until it's requested or being read, or you'll never get past it. #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:10 am     



 
@Jamie_LD: @countmystars Write it for you, then you have your "readers" give you feedback. Until then, just write your story. #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:10 am     



 
@GCGeek: @Jamie_LD Working writers need to self-promote, but not as much as "aspiring". So no web presence or just no samples? #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:10 am     



 
@Jamie_LD: @GCGeek Why not write fun and interesting blog posts to showcase yourself? Have a fun bio, etc. (comedy writer) #scriptchat
July 23, 2012, 12:11 am     



 
@GCGeek: @RaviVora And using the web to get that work that speaks for itself in front of people is a bad idea? #scriptchat
