Hello all, I hope you're enjoying your weekend. 😎 We have three new coverage requests for Sandra (yours truly), Michael, and Christopher. The links are below the quick tips. I'll also send t...

Hello everyone, Over the past month, I've asked members how often they would like to meet. Based on the responses below, it seems as if a majority of the group would like to meet monthly. I like ever...

Got it. Tough love in our community is not personal We are pushing each other to be our best

Hi all, I have another quick update to pass along. Coverage scores across all groups are trending too high. When you give coverage, it really is to provide professional-grade, honest feedback for the ...

Just a friendly reminder 🙂 For those who are experiencing technical issues with the OBS site or features, please post your questions and issues on the “Site Navigation and Technical Issues” f...

meant to say "You're absolutely..."

@bonitaheresbonita-com Your absolutely right about the adaptation process. Some books are inherently easier to adapt to the screen because they are very visual. A majority of Michael Crichton novels (...

One of my favorites is A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE that was based on graphic novel. The script is better than the novel. There are absolutely no wasted moments or words. It lean and tight like a good noir p...

@ronrocearthlink-net I'm thinking of setting up evenings where we do just that watch a movie or part of a movie/tv show with script and breakdown why it works and how we can get better. I'm noticing ...

There's a method to my madness so indulge me. Please list three or four of the best screenplays you've ever read. Feel free to add a note or two as to why you thought the screenplay was great.

@amberpatton007gmail-com Yes! Thanks, Amber. Good luck on the rest of your performances. Happy Mother's Day! 🌹

You know what, I like this system. It seems like it will work out for us. Thank you Sandra!

@wrco-777gmail-com You're welcome!

Hello fellow scribes! I hope your week is going well. We had our first meeting on 4/26/20 (yay!), and it was a blast connecting with you all. I've attached the meeting notes below. I just wanted to gi...

I just wanted to share, you've all galvanized me after meeting you all last Sunday. It's like walking into the front door of home. I've a lot to learn from each of you. I can't wait for the next meeti...

Thanks for sharing your goals, Bonita! It looks like you will have busy 2020! 😉 Just a few questions. Is your dark comedy script a horror, too? How far along are you in the writing process? ...

Hey Everyone! If you submitted feedback for my Logline/Synopsis but I didn't thank you in this thread that means I didn't get them! Please send me a private message with a link to your feedback. ...

Thanks for your insight, Ron. I wonder what they thought was too progressive in the story? But, at least you know you hit the nail on the head with the other criteria. I'm sure you'll find a good home...

Hi Sandra. I missed that those also. Both docs look good to me. Thanks for taking time to set that up for us. Had some good news this week. Won semi-final honors at the INTERNATIONAL NEW YORK FI...

@purposedproductionsgmail-com Thanks for the note, Jana. Coverage or notes/feedback requests must be tied to a group. There's a line on each request form to designate the Writers Group for which the...

Finally Hi all! I'm working on a piece that I would love to have some feedback on. I can upload the first ten pages and the logline. Would anyone be interested in reading it?

@bonitaheresbonita-com Ha! I'm sure your story will work out fine. 😎 👍 By the way, did you vote in the poll about your preference for meeting monthly or every other month? The poll is...

@ronrocearthlink-net Thanks, Ron. Do you think there is more potential for a writers if they write a Hallmark or Lifetime movie? A seasoned writer in my screenwriting Facebook group said he was once h...

Hi all. That was for sharing so you know what some responses can be out there. With OBS, once our material is ready, David can shepherd it through and readers will be more likely to be helpful, supp...

Writing loglines feels like going to the dentist. Would rather avoid the pain, but it must be done. Thanks Meemee, those examples help me lots. Got to remember not to try and tell the story, concen...

Good stuff, ladies. Many times my manager will ask me for loglines because that's what companies ask her. Recently a company read one of my pilots, met with me, and then requested 3 loglines. These we...

Great idea, Ron. I'm adding loglines to the agenda for the next meeting! Maybe we could practice rewriting a logline that needs work. I think writers struggle with loglines because they have to be so ...

I know I'm in the minority, but I never work on the logline until after the script is complete because even though I start working on the script thinking it’s going to be one thing – it always, ALWAY...

I think since we all struggle with getting the logline to it's most effect form, this would be a good topic for discussion. Maybe we should even touch on it during the next virtual meeting. The loglin...
