Hot Topics: The Black Board

A weekly update from Shaula Evans, moderator of The Black Board:

Over the past month, The Quest has dominated conversations at The Black Board and most of our focus has been on helping people with their Quest submissions in our Logline Workshop (which is still open and at your disposal). It has been fantastic to see the number of GITS Readers who popped in to get some help and moral support with their loglines.

It’s no surprise that our top discussion right now is Let’s debrief about The Quest!

Other hot topics this week include:

A good beginning often holds the story’s ending

A budget trick for period pieces

Abraham Maslow and the Internal Struggle

Dealing With Rejection

Everything you wanted to know about Actors

Is your story true to your universe?

Making the case for longer dialogue

Should we all be writing spec TV pilots?

Write with your whole self

And a special link for everyone who sent in a logline for The Quest: Post project burn-out

Plus, if you have any questions about The Black List, check out our Q&A with Black List founder Franklin Leonard.

Finally, this week’s Idea Factory Bonus Link: Rent A German!
