I'm sharing two links that you should check out at your first opportunity. Who knows; some of the information might show up on a quiz. Let me know what you got out of the article and if you find...

@christopherharmon Congrats on pitching your work! How did it go?

Pitched my Mary Shelley/Frederick Douglass script this weekend. Thank you all for helping me get the script and pitch to a much better place. Its a David and Goliath thing, since they are such a lar...

@wrco-777gmail-com Thanks for your feedback, Michael! Your style of giving handwritten notes on the script as well as typed notes was super useful, though I know it must have been time consuming. I ...

Hi Guys! So far I've only received coverage on my script from Christopher. If you have submitted feedback for my script, I never received it. Please send me a link to your feedback in a private mes...

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...

Hello everyone, Michael has requested feedback on several of his loglines. Tips to Remember About Notes and Feedback If you choose to give feedback, please use the official Notes and Feedback form un...

Got it. Interesting concept. By hiding ones ancestors, you destroy ones roots. We need roots to grow.

Thanks for the meeting notes. Learned about evil umbrellas from Japan and Soul Catchers that heal the mind. And that Yvette and I use the same bookstore. Loglines are super important. If we can mast...

I'm not on top of my feedback game. lol I'm usually one of the first to submit feedback! But I'm trying to meet some contest deadlines and my job actually made me do some work (ugh! lol) Plus today ...

@mtaylor_123yahoo-com Happy birthday, Meemee!! I hope you had a joyous celebration of life! 🍾 🌹

I have L.D. Logline Dysfunction. Hopefully it is getting better. Let me know how to make it THE BOMB. The story is worth whatever it takes

@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...

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...

@wrco-777gmail-com Really love the fact you have such a strong visual sense and can actually sketch/draw images from your mind to help move your concepts along. A great many artists are gifted in mor...

@wrco-777gmail-com Yes Michael. I am so very grateful to be in this bubble with our OBS family of creatives. It's so motivating! Our creative journey definitely starts with the concept and gets a chan...

I was trained as an actor and playwright so I always had a strong visual in my head of the physicality of the character. I use this vision most times to help me "hear" and "see" the character as the w...

Michael, Everyone approaches the craft differently. I believe you write the story that's deep in your heart first. This will bring out a lot of the gold in your piece. Now, of course, you want to att...

Hey Michael, I love that you always have a lot on your mind to share. Do you have an example? I completely get where you're coming from with your approach. As an independent filmmaker it feels like I ...

@wrco-777gmail-com I did the ABC/Disney Writing Fellowship in the early 2000's. At that time the writers were 1/2 drama writers, 1hr drama writers, and feature writers. I had a writing partner at the ...

Thank you so much for sharing Michael! Sidney I agree - @Ron I would love to hear about your experience as well.

Writers on the Verge has exceptional coaching. A lot of fellowships moved to the original pilot script instead of the spec script. And yes, Ron I would love to hear about your ABC experience and any t...
