Segment Introductions

Introducing various segments to my blog has been such a good way to ensure that I actually sit down at my computer, avoid drowning in work, and truly create content for my blog [or my books]. Segments seem to hold me way more accountable than simply writing a post that does not feed into another post does.

So, you know that means that it’s time to introduce more segments to the blog! And, because this is the year of writer for me, these segments are completely geared towards me taking Hollywood television and motion pictures by storm with my writing. To do that, however, I’ll need the help of a couple of segments:

In industry

The In Industry segment will be my very own accountability partner when it comes to understanding everything about the industry that I plan on taking by storm! I will work to understand everything from: what it takes to be a tv and film writer, to how it feels to be a production assistant, to the jobs of the grips and the camera crew, to the lingo, to the mannerisms and etiquette. Yes! I am fully immersing myself into this world because it takes so much more than hiding behind a computer to make it in this industry (and I’m going to).

Screenwriters breakdown

As you’ve seen in my previous post on the Spider-Man: No Way Home script, I take a script or scene that elicited a visceral audience reaction and I break down — whether that’s a breakdown of what I felt when I experienced it or a breakdown of the excellent writing will remain something that you’ll have to tune into each post to find out.

My Screenwriter’s Breakdowns will serve as snippets of what screenwriter’s hope to create and reactions to those snippets. They will include breakdowns of when action lines worked, or didn’t work. They’ll show dialogue that was moving, or dialogue that stood-still and changes in industry standards, as it’s so important as an emerging screenwriter to know what’s working and what’s not (as well as what’s selling).

pivot the pilot

Another huge part of writing pilots and features is submitting them for pages or feedback. Some writers are, understandably, too afraid of submitting their work because that means that it’ll be open to what thye’ll consider “criticism”. Don’t fear, my friends! Notes on your script are good things! They help you develop your script in a way that your eyes and even a second set of eyes (from a writing partner) can’t.

Pivot the Pilot will looks at notes that I’ve received and breakdown the different ways that my scripts and others can be adapted to include good notes. It’s after the notes, and after the edits that your script can get to about 75% ready, so let’s spend the time editing that our scripts deserve!

With that, be prepared for a lot of content geared towards screenwriters. Again, I’m immersing into the world that I hope to flourish within! So, Let’s Write.

Best,
Bree 🤍
