Tip #60 - It is possible to suggest an accent through the reactions of other characters. instagram.com/p/Bw6T6laAU1Y/…
Tip #59 - Use imperfect grammar to denote an accent rather than misspelled words that can potentially cause confusion on the page. instagram.com/p/Bw3w5cWgYOv/…
Tip #58 - Give characters who are close their own shorthand in dialogue, although make sure the meaning is clear for the audience. instagram.com/p/Bw2LBX_gnMa/…
Tip #57 - Try to avoid contemporary slang as it will date your script. Invent your own variation. instagram.com/p/BwzFMvfADXu/…
Tip #56 - If dialogue is sounding stilted look for places you can add a contraction or two to make it sound more natural. instagram.com/p/BwpyIi3A0Nd/…
Tip #55 - If a character trails off mid-sentence use... instagram.com/p/BwjYT_Pgi9i/…
Tip #54 - The easiest way to communicate two or more speakers talking over each other is-- --with '--' at the beginning or end of the line. instagram.com/p/BwgzLB5AdPD/…
Tip #53 - Think about the life experience of the character speaking. For example, a well-travelled character will likely have lost elements of their local dialect. instagram.com/p/Bwekb0GAqxR/…
Tip #52 - Are your characters quick-witted or does it take them a minute to compose the perfect sentence? instagram.com/p/BwbjzH4AKIT/…
Tip #51 - Think about the layers of meaning in dialogue. There should always be more meaning beneath the surface. instagram.com/p/BwY336WAsos/…
Tip #50 - Think very carefully about the first words your characters speak. How can you use those words to express personality? instagram.com/p/BwTqOQFgrGj/…
Tip #49 - Remember that people usually speak in short phrases rather than complex sentences. instagram.com/p/BwRPsuFgkgD/…
Tip #48 - Is your character someone who always instigates conversation or only speaks when spoken to? instagram.com/p/BwOypyUA0W-/…
Tip #47 - Think about how many words your characters use. Do they talk too much or speak in one-words sentences? instagram.com/p/BwL_dqEAmR5/…
Tip #46 - Consider defining characters with specific or unusual words that only they will use. instagram.com/p/BwJYH_jgwSv/…
Tip #45 - Remember film is visual. If a line of dialogue can be replaced with a look or a gesture, do it. instagram.com/p/BwGvxcaA03j/…
Just posted a photo instagram.com/p/BwEO4GkAjo0/…
Tip #43 -Remember the character's voice. Avoid dialogue that is too formal/colloquial if it doesn't fit the character. instagram.com/p/BwBfcFvAN8E/…
Tip #42 - Look out for over-used lines of dialogue, like 'I'll be right back' in a horror movie. instagram.com/p/Bv-7fwVAesz/…
Tip #41 - Be wary of dialogue that is too 'on the nose'. In real life we rarely say exactly what we want to say. instagram.com/p/Bv8vtseAVrQ/…

This ... is incredible. American televangelist Kenneth Copeland never foresaw that buying a private jet with money raised by his church would prompt difficult questions. Reporter does an AMAZING job. The man actually looks unhinged.
@rwitherspoon I’ll start with a nice clutch and see how it goes.
Six types of writers. Which one are you?

How I wish that screenwriting is as easy as it takes to become a lawyer - God should I step out on faith - I need an agent someone to direct me to the right place so I can get it poppin as a screenwriter- I’m a beast when it comes to my crafts but it is starting to wear thin

So well said: ❝Falling Out of Love with the Nerdist Podcast: The allegations against Chris Hardwick mark the end of a complicated era.❞ via @rebeccaonion slate.com/human-interest…
@writingbud @Slate Me too. I don't know anything about these ppl & their private lives (and don't want to!) but this is about what Hardwick symbolised as a podpreneur & hipster-nerd. Like the author, I religiously followed the podcast at one point & also rem feeling v uncomfortable w/ those eps.

I’ve always happily thought of myself as a nerd. But post-Chris Hardwick, gamergate, Kelly Marie Tran trolling, female Doctor rage, incels etc... I’m starting to feel like...
@SerenitySprings @hardwick HE DIDN'T WRITE THIS. x.com/sweetgeekling/…
@writingbud Ok. Thanks I've read about screenwriting in the past. It was a while ago though. The book was old too.lol
Do places even take spec scripts anymore? also has the process of writing a script changed at all since 1990-1991 blocking notations are still formatted the same,right? x.com/writingbud/sta…
Tip #31 - If a scene takes place in an obscure location a couple of well-chosen adjectives to set the scene would not go amiss, just make sure any additional info is also relevant to the story.
