In the summertime…

June 10, 2022 by Marilyn Horowitz

Happy Friday!

Summer is upon us, and I was so happy to be able to spend the past week in Fire Island.

I had the pleasure of working nonstop on my new Word of the Day book, and I have simplified the techniques. I’m very excited to be able to share them with you soon!

The next Word of the Day is  Wednesday, June 15 from 7:00-8:30 pm EST. We will be reviewing the cool outlining techniques discussed in the last class. I will also help the contest winners prepare a logline, which they will need to have ready when presented with a professional opportunity. Please email me if you would like to attend.

The summer session of Rewriting the Screenplay in 6 Weeks started with a bang this past Tuesday. Every student completed an excellent first draft, and the translation from soft creation to audience participation has begun!

Here are three rewriting tips:
1. Pretend that you were editing someone else’s screenplay.
2. Write a brief description of what has happened before the story begins.
3. Use the 4 Magic Questions of Screenwriting to ensure that your hero/heroine and villain/obstacle are in perfect opposition.

Speaking of classes, the next How to Write a  Screenplay in Eight Weeks begins on Tuesday, September 20!

Please consider supporting my friend Talia‘s pet project and help Davida get her piano. I have personally donated $250.00 to help her achieve her goal. https://gofund.me/02c83aa1

Here’s to your successful writing,

Professor Marilyn Horowitz
