@Cat_WritesSFF@jeannevb Hi Cat. I promised an update. Look what I found when on Weds when posting Ch. 3(So 10/7-21). Looked back to see which tags (keywords) I used. Novel, RomCom, Fiction, and WriteBetterTogether. Last one is my company name. No ^ in subscribes, so all just ppl finding it thru tags.🤷♂️
@CindyBegel FBOFW, I think they're all on streamers. Only Murders In The Building has a Ganz/Mandel vibe, for instance. As for universal crowdpleasers, different vibe, but a lot of people love Adam Sandler (again, streaming). At the movies, I love Wes Anderson, but I get not everybody does.
BREAKING NEWS: We haven't had time to rerecord this vid, but we've decided to always offer 2 chapters free. Ch. 3 will drop this Weds, so you only have a few more days to read Ch. 1 for free. Link to our romcom serial on Substack is in the 1st comment. https://t.co/eVDiYZ9rjh
@Cat_WritesSFF@jeannevb@Cat_WritesSFF My sometimes cohost Signe (illustrator, did my last book cover) is taking a Substack class next month. If they teach her anything of use, I'll report back. Benjamin Percy (with S. King) is doing a SF serial on there now too (replicating a newspaper). #scriptchat
For research, I rewatched BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE (1972) 2 weeks ago. Entire film takes place in just over 24hrs. Goldie and Edwards Albert Jr. meet, fall in love, go shopping, sleep together, his mom shows up, G wins her over, G breaks up with EAjr., G moves in with a director, G leaves director and (spoiler alert) goes back to EAjr. 3 great arcs. I can't shake how much happens to them in a single day. All believable. #scriptchat
@jeannevb@KieraHarvell@P_Hendrickson I know a writing coach who uses it and will not even take phone calls outside of her phone call slot. (1 exception: Publishers.) She has trained her clients to call during certain specific windows. Same with email. It will get answered during her next emailing slot. #scriptchat
@jeannevb@KieraHarvell@P_Hendrickson For me timeslotting was a lifechanger. I dabbled but then Sara Wigal (who you met) was such an advocate on our show that I went all in. The hardest part is when something takes longer than you anticipated. Still, for me, that's not a reason to not do it. #Scriptchat
@KieraHarvell@P_Hendrickson@jeannevb I do timeslotting, but not Pomodoro. I do write SOMETHING everyday, so I have to stay fairly strict with my slots. Like you, I don't care about earning a prize. If I want a hot fudge sundae, I'll eat it whenever I want. 🙃 #scriptchat
@KieraHarvell@P_Hendrickson@jeannevb Kiersten Modglin schedules her things that sidetrack her into her writing time. Like Pomodoro-on-steroids. SHe gives herself permission to be sidetracked by IG or whatever for X-amount of minutes, then gets back to writing. She makes her goofing off intentional. #scriptchat
