How to Write a Film Script
Happy Friday, Readers!
Today's post concerns how to write a film script. I figured you would like to hear the thoughts from a third person, someone other than me.
Click on the link below which will take you to a step-by-step detail explanation of going through the script writing process. I read through each point. the information is very informing. Follow what is explained, and you'll be able to write your script with no trouble. So click below

Edits/Proofread: $48.00 (proofread for scripts)
Critique : $58.00 ( for scripts)

Some people request edits and critiques together. If a writer wants both, to me this says the writer is not completely confident his or her script is ready. So I recommend getting the critique first. Use the critique to redo the script. Once the script is just right, then request the edit.
However, there are script, screenplay, writers who insist on having both an edit and critique together. So I offer an edit and critique combo at discount.
Edit &Critique Combo Discount: $66.00 This is a discount savings of $40.00

6 Tips for Writing Fiction Based on True Events
This is going to be last post for today.
I get questions from writers about taking true events, mostly true personal events, and using them to create a fiction. Falling is an article from Writers Digest that can help answer your questions.
6 Tips for Writing Fiction Based on True Events
Today's guest post is by Lorie Ann Grover, author of Hit.
You are there. You see it. You're a writer, so, of course, you want to write about it. Now what? Writing fiction springing from an actual event, maybe one of your own personal experiences, requires a finesse for your reader's benefit, your friends', your enemies, and yourself. There is a way to handle the truth because you'll begin as if you are wearing kid gloves, but suddenly they will plump into boxing gloves, and before you know it, you are ready to deliver that punch right to your beloved, old auntie's face.
Note: Last chance to buy our Elements of Fiction Writing Premium Collection, which is 14 great resources for one unbeatable price. Buy now before it goes away on December 31!
1. Begin with the truth.
Truth is stranger than fiction, so there is certainly much to mine. Each of my contemporary novels sprang off the pages of my own life. Consider writing that first draft close to what happened, what you saw, and what you felt. Capture it. Read more...

Plot Your Book: Scene by Scene
 | SUE JOHNSON Writer's Digest Tutorials |
Hi Everyone!
Over-plotter, under-plotter? Struggles with plot are common among writers at all levels. This tutorial takes the guess-work out of plotting by teaching you the key scenes that build your plot backbone, providing a refresher on the elements of a scene, and breaking down the specific kinds of scenes you'll need at each of the three key Acts of a novel. Plots, after all, are simply stories comprised of well-placed and stylized scenes.
Jordan E. Rosenfeld brings over a decade of experience in teaching students how to use scenes to transform writing. She believes that scenes are fiction's "magic ingredient" - activating writing so that your readers are drawn palpably into the experience of your character's story, versus the flat habits of summarizing and expository writing. A former freelance journalist, she shows you the difference between passive "telling" of a story and powerful, active demonstrating of a fantastic plot.
If you'd like to simplify the plot process and no longer be overwhelmed by what comes next, so you can focus on the work of writing powerful characters and transformative stories, you won't want to miss this presentation.
In this 56-minute tutorial video, you'll learn:
