I have the worse memory and ideas pop into my head at the wrong time..in the bathroom , in traffic. 1. Start carrying out a tape recorder or a pad and pen-this will help you jot down things as they come to you 2. get out of your comfort zone and do something you normally don't do, take a hike, gho to a museum, trust inspiration comes from some weird places. 3. Go to your library and read up on the subject Syd Field would be a good place to styart. 4. Go to the bookstore, Borders and Barne and Noble carry "Creative Screenwriting" , "Fade In" and "Script" magazines 5. Watch a ton of movies-to see what works on screen 6. Write what you know, start simple..write about somethn happened to you..possibly a childhood story, your first bike, an incident at a bar. No matter how stupid it may sound just start writing. You have to develop tempo! 7. Listen to your favorite "mood" music, whatever it may be... I recently got into photography and found that I take better pictures with my ipod on and the right kind of music playing... Google screenwriting and you will find endless articles...good luck! |
