Lesson 10

[Danielle Dillard]

Vision: To write touching family stories that educate and entertain.

I’m still in the process of completing this assignment. Unfortunately, my screenwriting software had a major glitch and I just got it fixed today. I’ll be catching up 🙂

4. Vision of success from this program: I want to write scripts that become movies that change people’s lives.

3. This continues to be tough. I actually went back to my Beat Sheet to help me fill in the gaps in my Outline and it worked.

5. What I learned from this assignment was:

– how vital it is to have a workable Outline before beginning Draft One.

– how those quotes Hal puts at the top of the Lessons do help. I needed that quote from Richard Bach as I worked on my script this week.

– how the empowerment exercises help. I particularly needed them this week as I was losing confidence in ever writing a satisfactory script. Writing really can be a roller-coaster experience!
