Phew

My number one fave article of all time, Bill Martell’s “16 Steps To Better Scene Description” on The List of Wonder disappeared off the face of the internet this week – not only did I have a heart attack, I got a bunch of emails panicking about it too! Frantic Googling revealed little – just dead links to my list. Noooooooooooooooooo!

But here it is.

Phew.

Thanks to Bill Martell for the link. You really are a prince among screenwriters.

Worship him over at his website now, bitches!

Oh – and have a lovely weekend.

By the hair on Brian Blessed’s chin, that really is the greatest article ever! I do read Bill’s blog and visithis Script Secrets site but that is the first time I have ever read that post. Eternal thanks for highlighting it Lucy.

What would you do with your life, if you weren't afraid what other people would think?' 🤔Someone asked me this question when I was young and it really got me thinking 💭I sat down and drew up what I wanted to do if I get over the thought of others thinking badly of me ...✅️ If I weren't afraid of what other people might think, I would pursue my writing dreams without hesitation. ✅️ I would take risks, try new things, and explore uncharted territory. ✅️ I would express my opinions openly and honestly, even if they were unpopular or controversial. ✅️ I would embrace my unique qualities and quirks, rather than trying to conform to societal norms. ✅️ Most importantly, I would live my life authentically, without worrying about the judgments or opinions of others. You guessed it ... I not only resolved to do these things, I DID THEM! 🔥People say to me 'You're so confident' or 'You're so optimistic' but I wasn't always like this. It took work. A LOT of work! 💥And when I started, I was faking it 90% of the time and feeling it 10% 🙄But now it's the other way around!!! 🎉Fear of the opinions of others can be a powerful force, but if we can overcome it, we can truly live our best lives ❤️ For more FREE writing advice 👇 www.bang2write.com/resources 🔗 ...
