    Marcus’ Finished Act 3

    What I learned doing this assignment is the same as before. Stick to the high speed method.

    this time I really stuck to the rules and zipped through the act. Nice.

    I have a great turning point for my story, I think. The problem is that Act 3 came out way too short. I have room for a lot more content which is not in my outline. But this draft is only expected to be 30%. In the future I’ll have to fill in some blanks. Now on to Act 4!

    Phyllis’ Finished Act 3

    I learned from this assignment that even though I am questioning whether my turning points are strong enough, I can just keep going and worry about that later. The speed writing is really working for me.

    Rule 1: C. I’m not finding this rule relevant to my process.

    Rule 2: A.

    Rule 3: A.

    Rule 4. B. Still have to work on this one.

    Rule 5: A.

    Rule 6: B. Getting better, but not an A yet.

    Kim finished Act 3

    What I learned from this assignment is that if I was able to make a habit of this, I could write out several scripts a year.

    Rule 1: A

    Rule 2: A

    Rule 3: A

    Rule 4: A

    Rule 5: A

    Rule 6: A

    I didn’t do a quick edit, I prefer to do that when I go through the edits on all of this.

    mod 4 lesson 4: write Act 3
    Mary J. Andrews Finished Act 3
    What I learned doing this assignment is that everything seems to be falling in place easily. I’ve been trying to post past exercises and truly catch up, but I’d been pushing through them out of order for speed. Not what I was supposed to do in its entirety, but I think I see how it’s working now. I’ve written the whole script from my source material and have been going back per classes. I need feedback to tell if I’m even doing this right at all, so I will be as ready as I can be for that phase. 😊

    <div>
    Rule 1: (A)Use
    empowering self talk. Cheer yourself on.

    Rule 2: (A)Understand
    writing in drafts.

    Rule 3: (B)Choose
    speed over quality for EARLY drafts.

    4: (B)Allow
    yourself to start (or continue) without all the answers.

    Rule 5: (B)Keep moving. Don’t allow yourself to ever stall
    out.

    Rule 6: (A)Even if you can’t create it now, you will be
    able to at some point in the future!

    · · A. Consistently use.

    · · B. Some use.

    · · C. Need to start using

    · Tell us any insights you had using the High Speed Writing Rules or writing Act 3.

    · I found a formatting problem on scene 22-23a, and stopped to reconfigure it. Things are coming together really well, though.

    Act 3 first draft written. In the process, I found more extraneous material and repetition in my outline. Plus, as I got to the end, I finally figured out something that’s been bugging me all along–why does Joshua NEED to get back to the reality he started in? This does NOT bust my outline–it makes the pilot and the overall concept much stronger.

    So far, so good.

    As far as speedwriting goes–I don’t always have the time in a day to write and entire act, but I am writing this much faster than my usual pace.
