I share many of the insights already posted.

I love, love, love Jim’s process. I’m so thankful to incorporate it into my way of doing things.

I know I overthink too often, but I even overthink how to propel myself out of it sometimes. I learned practical, impactful strategies for putting aside my reluctance to write “crap”.

I learned that these same strategies will produce the flow I love, and, just as importantly, the momentum to progress in between flow states.

I learned that I still love learning as much as I always have.

I learned that I’m going to love this!

Hello All,

My name is Anya, and I’m thrilled to be in the ProSeries with all of you.

I have written 8 scripts. The sixth one was optioned.

One of my favorite experiences is the joy of inspiration. For instance, when some aspect of character development, a clever scene, compelling dialogue, or script structure just “comes to me”. I want to learn to write faster while making use of those inspired moments as well as the gritty, work of creating every other element needed for my stories to soar. At this point, I’m challenging myself to reach a fully evident level of mastery as a storyteller and clearly realized success as a reoccurring, greenlit writer/director/producer.

I am the mother of a child who could tell time at the age of 2. Another one of my life’s joys is witnessing his mind at play.

“I agree to the terms of this release form.”

GROUP RELEASE FORM

As a member of this group, I agree to the following:

1. That I will keep the processes, strategies, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class confidential, and that I will NOT share any of this program either privately, with a group, posting online, writing articles, through video or computer programming, or in any other way that would make those processes, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class available to anyone who is not a member of this class.

2. That each writer’s work here is copyrighted and that writer is the sole owner of that work. That includes this program which is copyrighted by Hal Croasmun. I acknowledge that submission of an idea to this group constitutes a claim of and the recognition of ownership of that idea.

I will keep the other writer’s ideas and writing confidential and will not share this information with anyone without the express written permission of the writer/owner. I will not market or even discuss this information with anyone outside this group.

3. I also understand that many stories and ideas are similar and/or have common themes and from time to time, two or more people can independently and simultaneously generate the same concept or movie idea.

4. If I have an idea that is the same as or very similar to another group member’s idea, I’ll immediately contact Hal and present proof that I had this idea prior to the beginning of the class. If Hal deems them to be the same idea or close enough to cause harm to either party, he’ll request both parties to present another concept for the class.

5. If you don’t present proof to Hal that you have the same idea as another person, you agree that all ideas presented to this group are the sole ownership of the person who presented them and you will not write or market another group member’s ideas.

6. Finally, I agree not to bring suit against anyone in this group for any reason, unless they use a substantial portion of my copyrighted work in a manner that is public and/or that prevents me from marketing my script by shopping it to production companies, agents, managers, actors, networks, studios or any other entertainment industry organizations or people.

This completes the Group Release Form for the class.
