It's so different from novel writing and can seem intimidating but honestly, I tried my hand at it a few years ago, and it just flowed. It was nice to get away from the extraneous and tell the story from the actions and dialogue of the characters.<br /><br />Good luck!<br />Jen C.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-54607090126243187862012-06-05T06:30:48.398-05:002012-06-05T06:30:48.398-05:00deathwriter - That's good to hear!

I'm having a lot of fun writing them out! <br /><br />Sarah - I'm sad to know the whole thing is over, but I loved it while it lasted. House was a wonderfully written character.<br /><br />Meredith - Well I suppose you learned something... novels were your future path! <br /><br />Angela - I think people get told that all too often. I agree it's nice to settle when you're getting serious but until you know what you want to be serious with, take your time and learn something!<br /><br />Liesel - I'm already learning so much. What's nie is that it allows me to be in 'telling' format rather than 'showing'. It will be the actors job to show the emotion!<br /><br />Nancy - I understand!!!! Writing is so much more fun then all the other stuff. It's what we crave, what we love, what we endure. It's hard to get into the zone of pushing our books on others so they'll read them over and over again!<br /><br />Jennifer - What you write is gold. I just can't wait to see on your facebook that you've started something new. It'll be over the top exciting! You know how much I enjoy a good thriller!<br /><br />Tink - Let us know take on that fear, then!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-60496715092452770382012-06-04T23:36:10.170-05:002012-06-04T23:36:10.170-05:00I think you're right.

For research find a favorite movie of yours (or tv series) and google to find the screenplay to it! It's actually super easy!
