There are only three weeks to go until we kick some serious story tushie at the first ever, full-day, “MY STORY CAN BEAT UP YOUR STORY!” Screenwriting Seminar in Los Angeles on Sunday, August 30th, hosted by the seriously cool people at The Writers Store.
I hate hype, I really do. That’s why it’s so hard for me to say all the things I want to about MSCBUYS; because it sounds like b.s. when in reality it’s all true. The things we’re going to learn that day will absolutely change your writing forever. No joke.
No sterile paradigm. No confusing jargon. Just a dynamic career-building system that is not just simple to learn, but has generated millions of dollars worth of writing assignments and script sales. Here’s the shopping list of topics for the day we’re going to cover:
- The key elements that ensure your story isn’t a 90 pound weakling.
- The 4 questions that make your hero a winner and not a weiner.
- How to pitch like a pro and not throw like a sissy with the single paragraph formula that LAYS OUT YOUR ENTIRE SCRIPT.
- The 4 critical archetypes every great protagonist becomes from “fade in” to “fade out” that screams “I’m a hero, not a zero!”
- How to create bad guys that don’t punch like your sister.
- How to plot instead of plotz using the 12 foundation beats of ACT ONE, a ruthlessly easy ACT TWO, and an ACT THREE that’s the toughest in the schoolyard.
- How not to be afraid of the dark (or the blank page) thanks to the 12 STORY LANDMARKS that guide your story every step of the way.
- How to write smarter, not harder by learning the SMART WRITER’S BUSINESS PLAN to generate material and get attention.
- How to embrace THE BIG TRUTH and not fall for THE BIG LIE about screenwriting.
- Feeling brave? Bring your ideas in, we’ll pick one and beat out your full story right on the spot!
