Caryn’s character Profiles Part 1
What I learned was once I start thinking about the story, it gets pretty fun, pretty fast.

My protagonist, a down and out detective, is someone who in the past has been a runner but is now ready to be a fighter.
My antagonist, a prominent local businessman, is a villain and a predator.

Other characters include:
Supporting – a political operative
Minor – an ex-partner; a part-time office manager
Background – various henchmen

Genre: Drama

Role in the story: Marley is a down on her luck detective barely scraping by working on fringe cases.
Age/description: Woman; 30s; athletic build; half-Irish
Internal journey:
External journey:
Motivation: Marley wants safety. She needs redemption.
Wound: took the blame for some shady cop shit, got busted back down. Did her time. As soon as she became detective again, she quit. Went private eye.
Mission/Agenda: The mission is a case, but the agenda is putting things right.
Secret: her own corrupt action in the past.
What makes them special: She can’t live with herself not being brave.

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.

Hi, I’m Caryn. I’ve written three scripts in the past, two pilots and one feature. I look forward to hacking out a complete, new feature script draft and learning how to write more quickly using this method. What’s unusual about me is how much I still believe in the power of stories to change people.
