Finish that spec script!

A week from today, Tom Benedek and I will be starting another round of 10-week writing workshops through Screenwriting Master Class — Pages I: The First Draft and Pages II: Rewriting Your Script. Participating in a structured, professional environment like one of these online workshops could be precisely what you need to power through a first draft or rewrite your script. Some background:

Pages I: The First Draft

There is only one rule about a first draft: “Get the damn thing done.”

In this 10-week online workshop, you will use a series of writing assignments to pound out pages and push you from FADE IN to FADE OUT.

While you churn out script pages, you will learn the self-discipline of meeting deadlines, a crucial and necessary skill to have to be a professional writer.

Pages II: Rewriting Your Script

Every professional writer knows that writing is rewriting.

In this 10-week online workshop, you will identify problems in your existing draft, work out solutions, and rewrite your script toward its final draft.

While you push your story to become its best, you will develop the critical analysis skills necessary to work as a professional writer.

In both classes, you workshop your story by submitting your pages for constructive criticism from your instructor and fellow writers.

In addition there are weekly teleconferences and forum feedback.

If you’re serious about taking your understanding of the craft to the next level and most importantly finishing that spec script, consider a Screenwriting Master Class workshop.
