Vision: To write family stories that entertain and educate.
I’m working on writing in 5-minute chunks of time, and I look forward to finishing my script. I’ve enjoyed this class and learned a lot. Thank you.

Hi, Danielle – how’s the first draft coming? Great idea to work in 5-minute chunks of time. Personally, I find that hard to do, but I have been able to carve out a half-hour here and there.

Paul Has finished Act 4.
4. Vision of success from this program: I want to write scripts that become movies that change people’s lives.
3. I was quite happy with Acts 1 and 2, but was still struggling with sequences of events in Acts 3 and 4. So, I sat down and wrote out the entire story in narrative form. I did it in order to have a clear picture of where my story was going. Of course, had my Outline been done properly, this would not have been necessary! But it did help me re-connect with the sequence of events in my story and brainstorm to fill the gaps. I think it worked.
5. What I learned from this assignment was how to practice working to a deadline. I told myself that the Producer (in my dreams!) was happy with Acts 1 and 2 and that I had till today at 6 pm to fill the gaps in Acts 3 and 4. What I have is not even 30% quality, but I have a draft down on paper that I can work on.

Great technique! You rock, Paul!

Dear Kristina, Thank you for that. I was not able to reply earlier since I was off the grid. The problem is, I also roll! Yes, I roll around doubting and hesitating. But we’ll get there. Won’t we?! The very best of luck with your script. Onwards and upwards!

Hi, Paul – I hope you’re continuing to Module 6.
I’m ready to post my first 2 assignments… except that there IS no Forum for Module 6.
I contacted customer service a couple of days ago, so hopefully that will be resolved soon.
If you happen to know of a secret portal into the module 6 forum, if there’s a hidden entry through Diagon Alley, for instance, please let me know.
Till soon,
Kristina

Hello Kristina,
Sorry, I was off the grid again for a few days. I too have been emailing the Support Team about the Forums for Module 6. No reply so far. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to get around this problem. If I get a reply to my emails, I’ll let you know. I am on Lesson 3 of Module 6 and have not been able to post my assignments 1 and 2. Anyway, I’m still going forward with my script (when limited time allows) and I hope you are too. Best wishes, Paul.

Hi, Paul,
So glad you’re still hanging in there. I was beginning to feel like I was in an episode of Twilight Zone, where everyone else had disappeared.
My script’s coming along well, looking forward to the next module where we elevate the quality of the scenes.
And who knows? Maybe we’ll even have a forum to post our assignments in. At least we know there will be a forum for Module 10. Why the others can’t be posted in advance will just have to remain one of life’s little mysteries, buried in the Omerta of customer service 😉
Cheers,
Kristina

Yes, Kristina. I don’t know what is happening with the Forums for Module 6. Normally support@screenwritingu.com do respond to queries, but I’ve sent several emails and received no response. Anyway, I’m now busy trying to bust the clichés as part of Assignment 3. I wish you good luck and, most of all, determination! We mustn’t give up!

Module 6 is up!

Thanks, Kristina, for the heads-up! I’ll start posting.
