2. I’ve written four features, a handful of shorts. I’ve actually switched to novel writing, which feels like home to me, but I still find the ScreenwritingU teaching so helpful.
3. I’ve taken this class before and used this hugely effective model. I’m hoping to refresh my learning/skills and pick up new things that I can apply to the new book I’m working on.
4. I’m pretty sure I saw a UFO a few years ago.

Hi, I’m Barbara Jacksha from Santa Fe, NM. I have written some scripts, though these days I write poetry, nonfiction and fiction (magical realism/curio fiction). I keep coming back to ScreenwritingU to refresh and elevate my writing skills. Right now, I’m doing final edits on what was originally my ProSeries 32b script, now the first book of a 3-novel series. Something unusual about me: animals always show up in my work. I think there’s a conspiracy. 🙂

Hi everyone!

I’m Barbara Jacksha. I’ve written a few feature scripts, a few shorts. I’m here to elevate my writing and apply what I learn to a novel series I’m working on, one that grew out of the ProSeries 32b script I wrote. Something unique about me: I work very intuitively. I’m currently spending time in meditation with the narrator of the series, a crusty old gent who is telling me a lot of what I need to understand about the arc of the books.

What I learned: it’s helpful to look at the main components and learn from them.

Movie: Lavender

Unwitting but resourceful hero: photographer with amnesia about what happened the day her family was murdered.

Dangerous Villain: unknown through most of the movie, seems to be a malevolent force in the family home.

High Stakes: threats to the hero’s sanity and well-being, threats to her daughter and husband

Life and Death: something is stalking hero and there’s the clear feeling she’s in danger

Thrilling because: we don’t know who the villain is and suspect it could be the hero herself.

Big mystery: what happened the night the hero’s family was murdered, and she was badly injured

Big intrigue: Is the hero also the villain?

Big Suspense: danger to hero and her family, will they survive

I’ve written four scripts, but am primarily a novel writer and poet. My ProSeries script has morphed into a 3 book trilogy that I’m working on now.

I’m here to learn more about adding intrigue, mystery and suspense

Something currently unique: I just broke my collarbone so it is hard to type with my arm in a sling. Expect short answers from me for a while.
