    Module 5 Lesson 9:Start Act 3

    Marguerite Langstaff: THE BILLIONAIRE IN 501

    VISION: I want to learn to write and market scripts.

    What I learned from doing this assignment: I’m learning that my brain is beginning to encompass the entire script rather than bits and pieces…and to be thinking how one thing impacts other things. I also continue to appreciate how Hal’s High Speed Writing Rules give me permission to be imperfect.

    State/Activity: I am completely willing to ignore unwarranted criticism.

    WIM] Lesson 9: Start Act 3! 6 – 10 Pages.

    Lloyd Shellenberger Began Act 3

    Working hard everyday to become the best writer I can be and as a result, I do become the best writer in Hollywood.

    What I am learning is the speedwriting process minus the word-smithing. I finished act two today and I am starting on Act three.

    Margaret Starts Act 3

    Vision: To be the best faith-based screenwriter

    My Progress/What I learned: Exciteed to start Act 3! Feeling comfortable (finally) with just writing without critiquing myself. I just have to keep telling myself I’ll fix it later!

    WIM Module 5, Lesson 9

    Lenore Bechtel Began Act 3

    My vision: I want to create enough salable screenplays that an agent will want to market my work and recommend me for writing assignments.

    What I learned from doing this assignment is following an assignment to write 6 – 10 pages a day in two days is easy. I am up to page 69 of Dire Expectations, but alas! I followed by thriller outline exactly, and that 69 pages is my complete first draft. Not long enough!

    As I was writing, I thought several spots deserved flashbacks, so next time I sit down to write, they’re going to get them.

    Melissa Barreca Began Act 3


    My vision: Melissa Barreca is one of the most sought after writers in the movie industry because of the artistry of her writing, professionalism and exceptional ability to tell important, entertaining, joyful, and heartbreaking stories that inspire audiences and become legendary classics.


    What I learned from doing this assignment is/How it’s going:

    I feel confident that when I sit down to write a certain amount in each session, there is no question that the writing will get done. I can produce a certain amount of writing on demand with no real problems. This is a great place to be as there is no stress when I sit down to work on this draft, I follow the outline, crank out the scenes, and the story continues to unfold. Since I am not worried about deviating from the current outline, I am not troubled by new ideas but I am looking forward to the revision process to make what I have even better.

    One Sentence Vision: To be the best writer I can be and a go-to writer in the industry, crafting scripts that become successful movies and make a lasting impact on people.

    I’m speeding up as I enter Act 3 which is nice but it means I’m leaving some gaps and shorter scenes behind, which is affecting my page count. Not all my scenes have all the right dialogue or action lines, but I’m leaving notes in places that need more attention and trying to muscle onwards.

    Adrienne – Began Act 3 Module 5 Lesson 9

    My Vision: I am going to work as hard as I reasonably am able to succeed at script writing to be recognized by multiple movie producers as a skilled script writer, and to have my scripts produced worldwide.

    What I have learned from this assignment, let my creative juices flow.

    Writing without rethinking my scenes in Act 1 and 2 keeps me focused on my concept and outline, I’m looking forward to completing my Act 3.

    Veronica Turowski Began Act 3

    My Vision: I want to be a successful writer who writes several scripts yearly and then sells them to producers who create my vision for the big screen.

    What I learned from doing this assignment is writing faster without being perfect is getting easier. I have encountered scenes where I don’t know what a psychic would say or what a preacher says at a gravesite. I give myself 15 minutes to research to find something, but it doesn’t have to be perfect. Then, I go back to writing.

    BRIAN BULL – Began Act 3

    VISION!!!
    My ultimate goal is to get my scripts from my hands to the SILVER SCREEN!!


    “What I learned from doing this assignment is…

    I have to just keep at it. I found some images on the internet which helped assist in my writing description. I also did a little research regarding the location of my story which helped as well. I also had to write a myth story which needs more attention but I at least got something on paper.

    The ONE THAT GOT AWAY – A Fisherman’s Tale
    A fisherman is determined to catch the fish he blames for his younger brother’s death, however, in the end, it turns out the fisherman is the one who had gotten away.


    ASSIGNMENT
