Are you still active? I was wondering if you could tell me about screenwriting

@verareyhood  I would read the book Save The Cat and start there. I took a screenwriting class back in the day Anatomy of a Screenplay. But Save The Cat really breaks down the basics of what (American) screenwriting is and how to utilize the format. As far as a daily routine, I just write. Keep a notebook and write down characters, storylines, etc. And remember that if you have a good logline (one that tells you who, what, why) it will keep you on track. A person does something and it works out (or doesn't work out). First act/ A person; Second act/does something; Third act/and it works (or doesn't work) out.  Another good thing to remember is something George C Wolf said: Film is about story; TV is about characters; Plays are about ideas. So, make sure your story is solid and that your characters have motivation for what they do and are pulled in the opposite direction as their want so there is internal conflict as well as external. Hope that helps! Read Save The Cat! :)

Hello! I've been gone for a bit, working on various projects and this big hunk of story - Hawk Ryder. It has been a super big challenge for me and I want to share it with all of you now. Hoping for some constructive feedback and some love. It's the first of a three part series. Going from screenplays to novel format has been so hard, but so worth it to learn how to stretch different writing muscles. I began this story about nine years ago - yes, that long ago. Wrote the first draft while I was pregnant with my daughter. Now, she is nine and well, it's time to let others in to see what they think. I'm hoping the first chapter isn't too clunky. But if it is, don't give up on me. I know the flow picks up quickly. I'll keep working on it - refining it. So, please, read, vote, comment, and share if you like it. Happy Holidays and wishing you all an amazing new year! Kristin
