Guys, I have a question...

Posted by: accountant_4_Jesus (a.k.a ) on Jan 10, 16:30

I've had a passion for a while now to be able to write stories that I could direct and/or get directed into movies. Do any of you on here write screenplays/scripts for a living, or do you know of someone who does? I just don't really know what's involved and would like to learn, because I have a few stories I would love to tell via this medium. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. If it's easier, you can email me. My email address is in my profile.

To "share", not to "post". You can post anytime you want... :) {nm} slappydavid Jan 10, 19:16

thanks for that write-up...i like "behind the curtain" stuff like this {nm} tealfan Jan 10, 19:17

Thank you very much, all of you. accountant_4_Jesus Jan 12, 18:53

And I'm sure we have some other writers/directors/producers that could possibly chime in. If I've learned anything it is... skamanfu Jan 10, 18:48

don't do it charlie Jan 10, 19:07

I like that Charlie also gives the flip side to the arguement. It is a very, very, very tough industry that is hard to break into... skamanfu Jan 11, 14:48

i was an attorney. i gave it all up to move out here myself. i'm just saying be brutally honest, not only about your intent and dedication charlie Jan 11, 15:45

I also work in development (skamanfu, would love to know who you work for!) and my advce is simple... numbersix_99 Jan 11, 04:58

OH, and taking Charlie advice into account, make sure you write every single day without fail. It's a craft as much as an art {nm} numbersix_99 Jan 11, 05:03

number... in my previous email you can find my email address, so shoot me one and I'll let you know where I work. skamanfu Jan 11, 14:52

While I do mention STC and Campbell for structure, I only recommend that for when you're outlining a project. skamanfu Jan 11, 14:57
