    Daily Focus – Searching for Breakthroughs:

    1. Please watch this scene and provide your insights/breakthroughs into what makes this character great from a writing perspective.

    2. Read the other writers comments and make notes of any insights/breakthroughs you like.

    3. Rethink or create a scene for your script using your new insights and rewrite that scene/character.

    What makes the Annie character great from a writing perspective is her inner conflict once she’s heard Sam’s story that he would provide the “magic” in love that she doesn’t experience with her fiance. Sam is a great character as he’s trying to escape all the great memories of his late wife and not believing he can find another love like the one they had.

    What I learned is the need to foreshadow through emotions, words or actions why characters belong together.
