Over the years, people have begged me to make available in book form the information from my popular seminar, the TotallyWrite 3-Hour Screenwriting Crash Course. Some people have even asked if there was some way they could buy just the User's Guide to the TotallyWrite Development Suite, knowing that the information could be found in the first two parts of the user's guide.
I'm thrilled to announce that the begging can stop.
WRITE NOW, RIGHT NOW (and then Write Again, Right Away!) contains all of the theory and paradigm chapters contained in the Totallywrite Development Suite software User's Guide (which means that if you already own the TotallyWrite Development Suite you already have this, so don't buy it again!). This a proven successful approach to story structure that is simple yet extremely powerful. It steps you through the major plot points you need to write your screenplay from start to finish. This step-by-step structure tool is based on a simple paradigm and has generated MILLIONS OF DOLLAR OF SCRIPT SALES AND ASSIGNMENTS.
I can’t imagine going back to writing scripts without a computer (I did it once in 1981 and if I had to do it again, I'd go to medical school and finally make my mother happy) and I can’t imagine going back to beating out a story without the TotallyWrite Development Paradigm.
More than yet another screenplay structure theory, WRITE NOW, RIGHT NOW (and then Write Again, Right Away!) is a simple yet extremely powerful system of taking an idea you have for a script, determining if it is worth writing in the first place, and then breaking it down into the major plot points that comprise a professional structured screenplay. It is based on simple to understand principles, both creative and scientific. The skinny on WRITE NOW, RIGHT NOW (and then Write Again, Right Away!) is that it works.
In WRITE NOW, RIGHT NOW (and then Write Again, Right Away!) you will learn:
• The key elements that make your story more SALEABLE
• The 4 simple questions that shape EVERY screenplay in the top 50
• The single-sentence formula that lays out your entire script like a roadmap
• The 4 archetypes every protagonist moves through LIKE CLOCKWORK from 'fade in' to 'fade out'
• The 12 foundation beats of ACT ONE
• A system of breaking down ACT TWO that is so ruthlessly easy you will never get stuck on page 55 again
• The 4 final beats of ACT THREE that readers and audiences expect and that define your script as MARKETABLE and PROFESSIONAL
• The 52 story landmarks that readers and audiences are looking for...and in which areas of your screenplay they have to be.
