Hello Family;

BIBLE VERSE
Joshua 1:8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Want to know the answer to the quiz question: name the 3 recent Academy Award Winners For Best Screenplay?
Simon Beaufoy for Slumdog Millionaire(2008)
Joel and Ethan Coen for No Country For Old Men(2007)
William Monahan, Siu Fai Mak, and Felix Chong for The Departed(2006)

I've been busy editing and re-writing the second draft of the screenplay. I've asked a co-worker to read the screenplay and I am eagerly waiting for her feedback. I have also asked a good friend, great director/editor named Shereen Collington for her feedback and help with the dialogue. Dialogue is not my area of strength. Shout out to my co-worker and to Shereen!
Until next time, keep writing.
Sincerely,
Joy

It's just the beginning of the journey, really. Yet, I'm excited about the idea of sharing the details in an online journal. Today I've been studying the process of the proper pitch. I learned that we should practice our pitching techniques until we are able to present the 2-minute pitch (sometimes called the teaser pitch) flawlessly. We should introduce our main character, the conflicts he/she will encounter, and details concerning what's at risk for the main character.
The logline and query letter are also very valuable tools. I will explore each in greater detail at another time.
Quiz time. Can you name 3 recent Academy Award winners for Best Screenplay?
God bless.
