What Is The Theme Of Your Screenplay?

Theme is a much lauded term in screenwriting which has rarely been clearly defined. In its simplest form theme really is the underlying topic screenwriters are exploring in their story. It also exp…

You 🤝 Me

Reading books about a specific craft (at least I assume Tools for Screenwriting would be about that)

Yeah, they're all for my screenwriting class! Fun fact, I have havent read as much as I'm supposed because I have so much stuff to do and they aren't required 😅 The bits I have read are all fantastic though, and despite being about film, are all based on story craft!

Here are some free PDFs of them :3

Mouses and electricity

I’m missing – you may have noticed. I’m on a screenwriting course that involves long days, about 12 hours, and that means that I have no time to blog. The course is only 2 weeks though so I will be back next week. How tired am I? Well, this was the conversation today: Me: My mouse isn’t working… I.T. (which is really R): Have you turned it off and on again? I do this. Me: Not working… R:…

Public Journal – Writing a script on my phone or trying to…

So here I am talking into my phone like a lunatic. Trying to write without hitting the keyboard. Trying to find a way that I can write and walk killing two birds with one stone or at least stretching my limbs while I stretch my mind. 

I just tried using writerduet to kickstart my scripts. Links hereto see how well that idea went. I have two in mind. The first is the one I’ve admittedly been…

I've been working for a couple years on scripts of a one-hour drama. My baby essentially. I want to have two protagonists. One functioning as the learner and the secondary protagonist as the guide.

I want to explore the guide's backstory, cause I feel like those types of characters are underwritten and are meant to function without any pathos or demonstration of times in their lives when they have failed.

The episode I want to write about her is an episode taking place when she was much younger. The plot being that she procures an abortion for a foreign born woman who is essentially trapped in a marriage in an unfamiliar country. Though the secondary protagonist is naive to this. The secondary protagonist produces the abortion trusting that things will work out. Husband causes death in wife. Secondary protagonist learns of this and is unable to do anything about the husband getting away with it. Learns the consequence of that when she gives a person what they want she needs to account for the people around that person and that she can't leave things in limbo and hope that things will work out.

I'm essentially throwing ideas up against the wall tam. If this is insensitive or thoughtless I'd like to know. If you think this is an idea that has potential but you have some thoughts about this let me know.

Don’t look for a definitive way to become an artist or writer, there isn’t one. And anyone who says there is, is going to take advantage of you. If you think you’re a writer, you are.
