Hi Everyone,
I feel like a wallflower at a high school prom. Are we supposed to post our final draft in this forum, buy software and post it there, or can we put it in Google docs? For the other peer reviews, we were analyzing forum posts but the forums mess up a meticulous format. Or are we supposed to email people separately? I don’t have an email listserv. Meanwhile please tell me where I should put the final draft?
Thanks for your patience, Julia

Hi Julia, I don’t have any answers for you here. But I’m hoping to come out of this class with a critique group (as I’ve had in my novel/picture book world). I’m at elizabethkoenig18@gmail.com if you’re ever interested…
Strong work keeping up, btw.

Hi everyone. Anyone interested in working with someone who seems to run chronically 2 weeks behind? I hope to post my first 10 tomorrow. 🙃 I’m elizabethkoenig18@gmail.com

I am also running late. But glad to partner.

Always happy to exchange with you, Bob. I’ve ‘formally’ partnered with Julia but several of us are looking at forming an on-going critique group, too. You have my email if that’s of interest to you!
In the meantime, send me anything you’d like me to read….

Yes, thank you for being in touch. As I mentioned in my email. We’ll partner.

Since I am fast and messy and you are slow and thorough and we both write novels, perhaps we should get going on this draft now. But where do we put the draft–in this forum, Google docs, or emails or a formal Final Draft collaboration? The pandemic has killed my finances along with everything else so I don’t want to buy new screenwriting software since I can eventually get it for free in computer labs. My main focus is finishing my three novels since I am already published. julia.keefer@nyu.edu

Hi everyone,
Would love to partner up with anyone still looking a partner. I should have a first draft done in ten days.
Let me know here or by private message, thanks!

Richard you amaze me! I’m doing a big push but not sure I can be done with an entire first draft in 10 days. Julia and I have been exchanging “where we are at” but several of us are looking at starting an ongoing critique group, too. Feel free to reach out at elizabethkoenig18@gmail.com if you are ever interested. And if you’re still needing a partner by day 10, lmk

you will be hearing from me, thank you!

So excited! We seem to be building a fun little group~

Hi Everyone,
I have three scenes left to write (they’re my big climax and I’m struggling with it). The easiest way to exchange that I’ve found is to export to a PDF and email that to one another. The PDF preserves the formatting and you can always copy from the PDF to a word processing program (which WILL mess up the formatting) to add messages or just refer to page numbers in your comments. My email is JaneenMJ@aol.com and I’d love to join the critique group. I started in novel writing as well, but haven’t sold anything there either. 🙁
Looking forward to seeing other folks’ finished screenplays. Soldier on!

Hope everyone is making progress. Elizabeth and I had an inspiring exchange and I finished a draft in Google docs I will return to after I finish my three novels. It is hard to do both at the same time but my focus is adapting literary novels to the global market, mainly mine. I appreciate the common sense and clarity of Hal’s Hollywood approach.
Peace and Health,
Julia
