Highly recommend this book - Jack was one of our adjunct profs in grad school and possibly the smartest guy in the world when it comes to the structure of musicals

How did y'all decide on the genre you wanted to focus on? And are you still writing in the same genre as when you started? #scriptchat

When you're writing, do you create fake deadlines to push you along? What's your strategy from going from FADE IN to FADE OUT on draft one? #scriptchat

What are some things you do to trick yourself into sitting down to write?
I've been working out again, and there's never a day where I say, "I cannot wait to workout." But once I start, I'm so glad I did. I'm applying that strategy to writing time. #scriptchat

I saw a video by a writer (can't remember who) about 1st drafts. Pretend an elf is writing it, not you. Just let the elf write out all the dumb, incomplete ideas. No judging the elf. Then? On 2nd draft, YOU take over from the elf. Easier to cut things then, too. #scriptchat

So, yes, we're doing an "8-week challenge" and I've already lost count of the weeks. hahaha I think we're about to start Week 3.
All you need to do is decide your own goals for each week (e.g. write 3 hours a week, etc.)
How's it going? #scriptchat

Hello Friends! Many of you know that in addition to being a writer, I am a flower essence practitioner, and I’m giving a workshop in Brooklyn on June 20th, 2 to 5pm, the afternoon of the Summer Solstice. We will learn about flower essences and you’ll leave with a custom formula.

OK, time for a #writingsprint break!
How'd y'all do (if you sprinted), and what's your plan for our Week 2 of the challenge.
Me? I'm going to get my 3 days of writing in next week if I have to shank someone to do it. #scriptchat

I'm just going to dive into a #writingsprint. I'll be back at 8:45pm ET (5:45pm PT) to check in.
If #scriptchat peeps are around then, we can shoot the shit for the last 15.
Onward!

Love the sounds of an old typewriter! #scriptchat

I miss my old Smith-Coronas. Especially the manual one. When you're writing you really have to MEAN IT when you have the physically pound on the keys to write!

It's #SCRIPTCHAT O'CLOCK!
It's the 1st Sunday of the month, so it's #writingsprint time.
First, we'll check in on our challenge and your wins, then we'll get a 30 min sprint in and check back to chill together.
