It helped me to learn to make sure we are working on projects we are emotionally connected to. John Gray really enjoyed writing that Ghost whisperer pilot and so intrigued by the themes of death and afterlife and wanted to create material viewers would be moved by and connected to. Then he got approved got the 13 episodes, so awesome!
24:49 This is so, so true in real life. It tends to take a very long time for people to change, and it's rarely as dramatic as is depicted in literature. Readers and writers rely so much on character arcs to drive the story that we forget the many other ways to create a dynamic story. Some narratives that span several books include characters that change so much, they are unrecognizable by the end.
I like him, but in general I want to see more screenwriters that really cover the nuts and bolts of screenwriting; because a lot of good scripts are very tight and structural compared to, say, novels. Sometimes screenwriting is almost more like mad libs. Beginning: Inciting incident: Catalyst: Plot Point 1: Focus Point 1: Midpoint Focus Point 2: Plot Point 2: Climax: Ending: I want to hear more about the scientific process of screenwriting; the different methodologies that are out there. As much as people bag on Blake Snyder, he does actually give an actionable template beat sheet that can be varied in a lot of ways. I think maybe a lot of screenwriters are purposefully cagey to avoid giving away their 'trade secrets', lest they train the competition on accident.
I went to a professional screenwriting course and I think that’s where you’ll have your mind blown but how much more information, planning and detail there is to it. These videos are great but they don’t scratch the surface.
Books won’t teach you as well as a coach/teacher. Actually, what I’ve heard and did in the screenwriting course I haven’t heard or read about anywhere else in books or on youtube.
Thank you for watching! Here are a few screenwriting videos about the craft. buff.ly/46OHFvz There are many more but it dependent on the actual topic you are seeking (i.e., Blake Snyder buff.ly/46QuLNA). Cheers!
@@gckari9862 I've also taken a professional course. I've been writing for about ten years. But I'd love to think there are always new experimental methods to chase after.

What did this video help you learn?
I'm going to start writing with music scores playing in the background.
