The Blank Page: Getting Script Writing Students - and Ourselves - Past the Agony of the First Line

School of Communication and the Arts

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

Most script writing faculty encounter students who just can’t get started with their writing assignments. And, frankly, sometimes we can’t get started with our own scripts! Most writers, beginner or veteran, have sat in front of blank computer screens for what seemed like eons, waiting for inspiration to hit. This panel will give participants workable activities to use in their classrooms and their own work to launch that script past “FADE IN.”
