Cameron Martin’s Finishing Act 3

Vision: Write good. Tell engaging story. Connect spiritually. “It’s all about family.”

What I learned from doing this assignment is…Writing without fear. Been on vacation, so lessons 9-11 are copy and paste. I know I’ve written bad. Been doing a lot more telling than showing in my script. I have a scene that is a philosophical debate that NEEDS to be rewritten into something with more subtext and action. Doesn’t matter right now. I’ve almost got a script, where two weeks ago I didn’t.

Cameron Martin’s Started/Continues Act 4

Vision: Maybe I should be more specific. I don’t know. Imma write this amazing script, adapt it into a novel, and self publish by the end of the year, all without sacrificing time with family. Then, in 2024, rinse and repeat the process. Above all, don’t hold back, don’t stop writing, and get the work out no matter what.

What I learned from doing this assignment is…Just keep writing. Even if it’s the least creative thing you’ve come up with that day, write it anyway and move on, because a creative breakthrough is just around the corner.

Cameron Martin Has Finished Act 4!

Vision: Write a story that connects with audiences on a spiritual level, regardless of background, while balancing quality time with my family

What I learned from doing this assignment is…I can write a first draft in under a month. It might not be good…like…at all. But maybe embracing that lesser quality first draft makes it easier to fix the problems I couldn’t find in my outline. It’s a lot easier to throw away garbage than art. I’ve got some amazing stuff that tells me my concept works! I’ve also got some stuff that screams “fix me.” Looking forward to learning how to rewrite. God bless.

Pam Ewing Finishing Act 3

Vision: Professional. Produced. Prolific. Popular

What I learned is how slow And choppy I am. But I am accepting where I am and just moving on. Two giant shadows just flew overhead and I am counting them as eagles signaling freedom.
