Screenwriters Of Tomorrow

#TampaBay screenwriting group since 2009 with produced screenwriters & members of Tampa Bay Film Society. Learn with us. Work with us. Let's tell great stories.

[Screenwriters Of Tomorrow @ScreenwritersOT]

Meet us monthly from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the fourth Saturday of each month (except for November and December, when we meet on the third Saturday) at the Safety Harbor Library, 101 2nd St. N., Safety Harbor, FL 34695. If you have a story to tell, we'd love to see you.

Thank you again to the longtime members and new friend who joined us to celebrate our 10th anniversary on Saturday! We wouldn't have grown or lasted this long without you. :)

[Valerie Kalfrin @valeriekalfrin]

Great advice and examples here--including how when you're writing, the theme will find you. https://t.co/ufJpkWsY1s

"Beware the paper tiger that prevents you from writing. The fear, the judge, the self-editor ... Find the hack to bypass it." More from @HIGHzurrer via @Bang2write. https://t.co/yeSxhHO26a

[Screenwriters Of Tomorrow @ScreenwritersOT]

Don't be too hard on yourself in your first #screenwriting draft. "I will [literally] write, ‘Science gobbledegook’ in parenthesis ... or ‘sad story about his childhood’ in parenthesis and then I’ll go back afterward and fill it in.” More @TheScriptLab. https://t.co/ingBLCrhGI

Just a reminder: Even though it's our regular meeting day, we won't see you at the Safety Harbor Library tomorrow (4/27) because several of our members are attending the #SunscreenFilmFestival. If you're not, keep crafting those stories. ;) See you in May!

[St. Pete-Clearwater Film Commission @FilmStPeteClear]

Happy you’re here and thrilled to be working with the film production while you’re here! @vspc @FilmFlorida #FilmInFlorida #FloridaFilm @StPeteFL

[Screenwriters Of Tomorrow @ScreenwritersOT]

Just a reminder: We won't have our regular meeting in April because it coincides with the @SunscreenFF. Please say hello if you see us there--and keep writing. We'll catch up again at the Safety Harbor Library from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on May 25.

USC screenwriting professor David Howard shares tips on showing your character's courage--and sitting with their discomfort--in this piece via @valeriekalfrin and @TheScriptLab.

[Valerie Kalfrin @valeriekalfrin]

Show courage through a character's specific goal in a specific setting, says #screenwriting professor David Howard: "Most of my students at USC at first rebel against it. [But] it’s that specificity that enables universal connection.” More @TheScriptLab: https://t.co/J2skClCSjZ

Member @valeriekalfrin shares thoughts from @NewYorker's @emilynussbaum via @aarondtracy : "A more varied and diverse critical body enables people to disagree ... So that one person doesn't have to be just a set of labels." https://t.co/ANc3u1k97O

Wondering if your screenplay has cliches? "Mashed Up," a marvelous spoof from @LucyVHayAuthor @Bang2write features the ones she sees most often in the first 10 pages. Read and grin, wince, rewrite. :) #screenwriting https://t.co/SX5j8ixxMt
