Before I continue with The Transformational Character Arc Part 7…
Well it looks like the black design wins out with 112 votes against 109 votes for white.
Whew… And I didn’t even have to break a tie with my own vote! But hey, since so many of you seem to like the white design, I won’t get rid of it… I’ll go ahead and keep it — and change back to it once in a while. We all need a change every so often, so when I feel like I need a change, I’ll switch to the other theme. LOL.
You’ll notice “quotes†at the top of the page now… I actually collect quotes from all kinds of writers and that, in and of itself is another post for the future because there is literally a ton of stuff you can learn from a good quote other than the obvious…
Of course I’m talking about screenwriting.
Something else you may have figured out on one of your recent visits here is that SOME of the above quotes actually come from our very own SCRIBOSPHERE. That’s right, I actually visit every one of your blogs throughout the week when I take a break here and there… Sometimes I have to read for awhile to catch up but all in all, I’ve found some really good stuff out there so I hope you don’t mind me culling some of the insightful tidbits I find worth sharing… I’ve even added a link to the person who made the quote so you might even get some additional traffic out of it. With well over 1500 hits here every day, you never know… You just might pick up a faithful reader or two.
If you do come here and happen to see one of your very own quotes and you get pissed off at me… Not a problem. Just tell me and it’s down. I’ve tried to pick insightful quotes but I have to admit… When I come across something that struck me as funny, I might have culled it as well. It’s definitely a work in progress and will grow and grow as I read more of your stuff and collect those really good nuggets of information but again, if you don’t want to be included, just let me know.
Yes, that even goes for my hate email… LOL.
I really do look at this (the SCRIBOSPHERE) more like a community than just one or two blogs… And, since I can fucking talk about screenwriting 24/7; reading all your blogs is really the next best thing for ME since NOBODY I know wants to fucking hear me talk about screenwriting 24/7.
In fact, let me take this opportunity to toss a question out there to ANYONE that might be interested… I’m considering sticking up another blog/site that would contain ONLY screenwriting articles… How-to info, tips, tricks, whatever. Totally about screenwriting and NOT anything personal. A total resource site that I would love to see be one of the ultimate resources about screenwriting.
No advertising. No money involved. Although if it were to become successful enough, we could eventually jam some RELEVANT advertising on it and use whatever revenue that comes in for workshops, get togethers, what-have-you.
So the obvious question… Why would you want to contribute to something like this? Good question. For one, you get to show us how much you know about screenwriting… Okay, so you don’t fucking care about that. Second, each article you contribute will contain a LINK BACK to YOUR SITE assuming you have one. Just that alone could easily increase your own site’s readership… No, I’m not going to allow any personal affiliate links to products but if we decide to toss up some advertising somewhere down the line so that the project could bring in some revenue, we can use that revenue to further OUR own screenwriting education.
Of course having a link back to your own site means that each article you contribute should be a substantial article. None of the articles will get automatic approval… At least not in the beginning. In fact, with WordPress, we have the ability to FRONTLOAD articles so that we can actually publish a new one every day assuming we have enough contributors.
Another reason the articles won’t be automatically published as they are completed is because they will need to be properly tagged so as to gain maximum exposure. There’s absolutely no reason this new site couldn’t be one of the TOP resources sites on the subject of screenwriting.
Why do I want contributors?
Another good question… Because I sure as HELL don’t know all there is to know about the subject. On top of that, just when I feel like I do know a lot about a particular aspect of screenwriting, I turn right around and read something on one of your blogs or sites out there and find some little nugget that EASILY expands my knowledge.
I LOVE THAT!
So lots of MINDS working together…
Some of you may be of the opinion that everything’s already been written on the subject that CAN BE WRITTEN. Nope. Ain’t gonna happen… EVER! And, as creative types come up with more creative angles to attack screenwriting, the more is going to be written about the subject.
Another question… But I’m not a professional screenwriter… Who gives a shit what I think? I DO. Plain and simple. And, if you can translate that knowledge to a substantial article on the subject, I want to read it! And if I want to read it, chances are outstanding that thousands of others want to read it too.
Another obvious question… Why should anyone contribute when they already have their own site or blog? TRAFFIC. I would assume that once a certain personality writes enough substantial articles on the subject of screenwriting, READERS are going to want MORE. They always do. This site is growing by LEAPS and BOUNDS in its readership but if you’re anything like ME, you never put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to screenwriting… You read as much as you can — absorb as much as you can — and take on ONLY what FEELS right for YOU.
That’s why I don’t care if you’re a professional or not… Often, the only thing standing in the way of someone becoming a REAL PROFESSIONAL is that first fuckin’ sale anyway.
I don’t care about that if you’ve got something SUBSTANTIAL to share with us about the subject of screenwriting. And of course, the bottom line is that WHO KNOWS WHERE IT COULD LEAD? I won’t say any more than that.
The contributions won’t be for this site… I’m creating an entirely NEW site for this project. If you’re interested in becoming a contributor, send me an email via the CONTACT page. That’s all there is to it for now. I hope to have the new site up and running by the end of the month — beginning of May.
If you send me an email, we’ll most likely get some kind of communication going back and forth… You might find out that you really want to be a contributor and then again, you might find out that you DON’T want to be a contributor.
It’s all good. If you’re interested, just let me know… I’ve already got some contributors ready to go but we need more. I’ll take as many as I can get.
Unk

Okay, I’m responsible for your last 127 page loads. Got stuck reading your uber cool quote thing. I’m off to post an insightful tidbit.
It might be awhile.
adam,
Ah… That would explain my uber bandwidth usage today… LOL.
Thank God I have UNMETERED bandwidth for my server… Like I said, I’ll be adding more…
Unk
so instead of Screenwriter Scoop we just do it similar, cut/paste something cool we come across or do you mean the contributors actually write articles for the new site?
I’ve probably refreshed 300x myself. You’ve got some good quotes there, and I’m a queen of procrastination. But mostly, I’m commenting here so the rest will pop into my inbox in a timely manner. Have to say I’m dissatisfied with Feedburner because it can’t keep up with my OCD. Bloglines is MUCH better for that. I’m gonna try it again with this blog.
Great. Now the pressure’s on to be quotable.
Wait a minute, Unk — you quoted yourself? How gauche…
Dave,
I couldn’t help it… That was my first quote to see how the plugin worked… LOL. But you’re right. LOL.
Moviequill,
Screenwriting Scoop just leads to OTHER articles about screenwriting sitting on other sites… What I would like to do with the new site is just have articles about the screenwriting process… No links to other articles unless that link absolutely pertains to the article being posted on the new site.
I’m thinking more along the lines of the biggest screenwriting book ever created but ONLINE instead. Does that make sense?
Ann,
Sorry about FeedBurner… LOL.
Unk
I should also add that the idea is to have as many DIFFERENT opinions, theories, etc. on any aspect of screenwriting as there are contributors to write them up.
I have my own theory on structure that others may or may not feel would work for them… So if there were say, 20 plus articles on structure, I’m sure someone could either find something that works for them OR even piece together enough information from different articles to come up with something that works for them.
The same goes for every aspect of screenwriting… You name it, just about everyone has their own way of doing the job… er ah… Creating the art.
Unk
You know what, Unk. Fuck you. Fuck you and your brilliant ideas, suave writing techniques and desire to do good. You just want to GIVE IT AWAY, like it was Halloween candy. What- do you want people to benefit and LEARN? Are you crazy? We need to keep the masses STUPID and IGNORANT, because then we can rip them off, and sell them books about how to create a screenplay in 28 days!
But kidding aside, I love that idea. I don’t think I’ve got the chops to be a contributor, until I actually write a screenplay worth the paper it’s printed on- but I’d definitely love to explore a site like the one you suggest. Go for it!
And it’s all about the “Web 2.0″/”Social Networking” thing… I’m not a web-guru (though rumor has it you are), but if you can figure out a way to combine an online “e-book” for screen writing resources, hardwired into the scribosphere with social networking… well, I don’t even know WHAT would happen… maybe world peace? Again- Rocky V, baby- GO FOR IT!!!!
I like this idea and would hold it as a lofty goal to contribute. (I did say before that you should write a textbook, didn’t I? Well, I thought it.)
Unk, I’m down, count me in . . . I live for action juice, you know it . . . for me, the job is the juice!
Honestly, I don’t feel like I have anything new or important to say about screenwriting. I mean, what do I have to say that hasn’t been said?
Poke
Poke, it’s not necessarily what you say but how you say it that might open up pathways in your fellow screenwriter’s minds and deliver enlightenment.
~Ann, still under the gun
Unk, I agree with Spatula that since I haven’t found the magic for my own screenplays yet it seems not right to spew out advice for other screenwriters…I do hope to attain some level of contribution in the future and would greatly benefit for the site myself though. So, good luck with that venture–I can already taste how good it will be.
SS
Okay okay… Let me calm some of you down… Except for Poke because I know better…
So you don’t feel like you can contribute. Cool. You don’t have to… But if you’d really LIKE to contribute but because you haven’t sold anything, feel like you shouldn’t, come on… That’s almost like saying you shouldn’t write screenplays because you’re not a professional.
You have YOUR OWN way of working. Probably different from many of us out here trying to do the same thing… There are others out there who barely know how to start. Seriously. They have an idea, they got a few notes and everything just SITS there because that person doesn’t have a fucking clue on what to do next.
Who better to share what they do than someone else that’s more or less in the same boat? You can read all the books… All the articles in the magazines but let’s face it… Most of that stuff NEVER really gets to the HEART of the matter i.e., sitting down and putting words on the page.
For an example… I’m always asked what screenplays do I recommend others to read before writing a screenplay? I guarantee that the screenplays I read and or recommend wouldn’t help a lot of people interested in RomComs…
..or kid’s films… Yet there’s a ton of you out there could easily steer someone in a direction.
It ain’t no different than takin’ on a newbie at some little hole in the wall business where you’ve been workin’ for the last couple of years and the boss says, “Here, train this newbie.”
So while you may THINK you have absolutely NOTHING to contribute, I beg to differ…
But of course that’s up to you… Plus, myself and a few others will read the articles before they are published and if we feel they need a little more steering in a certain direction, we might ask you to consider working on that… In other words, you won’t be alone…
But so I’m clear… Only those who would like to contribute or feel that their experience(s) could benefit someone else… Not necessarily OTHERS, but just someone else…
Unk
I get it now. These articles can be about experiences and writing methods, thus we the as-yet-unpaid screenwriters have something to share. I was thinking you wanted articles more along the lines of the stuff you write.
Poke
I guess I could write about my 57-act structure, reverse character arcs, and how to write dialogue for females by using cereal boxes….
Hi, Unk!
Thanks for everything you’ve done so far, your site is a great resource!
Your latest initiative sounds too good to be true, but I got used to stuff like that happening out there in the blogosphere already. I am revisiting and upgrading my ideas on humanity as we speak.
But it takes a LOT of effort to set up and maintain such a project… Do you want to turn this into a commercial site? Pay people to do the editing? Or just build it one step at a time, with a select group of volunteers?
I’d love to help out in any way I can. I only have one small problem. You say:
Why should anyone contribute when they already have their own site or blog? TRAFFIC.
Why would that extra traffic be good for us? My blog is a very idiosyncratic piece of self-indulgence. I keep it for friends. The idea that other writers might come visit somewhat scares me. If you start a screenwriting mother-of-blogs, then I could totally let go of any screenwriting-related posts on my blog and just play there :) That would also force me to stick to the point when addressing various issues. Otherwise, I’m just writing away, enjoying myself, instead of sharing what I know in a serious and easy-to-grasp manner.
Can we still contribute to the screenwriting resource site and *not* be referenced back if we choose to not stay dedicated on our blogs to the art and science of screenwriting?
A shy & grateful lurker.
“how to write dialogue for females by using cereal boxes…”
You stole that method from me, you bastard!
Poke
Poke,
As long as it’s substantial and worthy of a read, I’m cool with it… And don’t laugh…
How about this guy’s 188 stage structure? LOL.
I’m just glad he didn’t call it 188 Acts… Funny, because a couple of years ago it was only 49 stages.
Somewhere along the line he found 139 more stages… Glad I never bought the 49 stages! I’d feel ripped.
Unk
WW,
The reason I brought up TRAFFIC is because really… That’s about the only REAL thing that could happen at this point. A contributor who doesn’t want traffic wouldn’t have to link to their site if they don’t care about traffic. That’s strictly up to them.
As for TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE… Whew!
I’ve been answering emails LIKE CRAZY since this post… Several of you out there want to know WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME…
LOL. Believe it OR NOT, I just want to create an outstanding screenwriting resource. Nothing more — nothing less.
No I’m not going to pay anyone… There’s a ton of sites out there with screenwriting articles on them already and these are articles from THE EXPERTS on the subject. They didn’t get paid, they do it to get their name out and they do it for maybe a little traffic to their site.
If someone doesn’t want traffic, then I suppose it would be up to them to contribute out of the goodness of their heart… Uh-oh… DO SUCH THINGS STILL EXIST?
Sure they do…
As I’ve already replied in quite a few emails today to others who’ve asked, the site wouldn’t have any affiliate program ads OR Google Ads as the gist of the site is NOT to make MONEY.
The gist of the site would simply be to create an outstanding screenwriting resource and I don’t think there are ENOUGH of these on the net. There’s a few but we can use more and the kind of information I would hope to post on the new site would be more along the lines of hard core information.
Blogs in and of themselves (as we can all attest to) will generally have a mix of valuable content, personal asides, entertainment, etc. I’m aiming for something a little different here… Just screenwriting information. Pick a subject — any subject about screenwriting and it’s OPEN and FODDER for an article.
IF… The new site were to eventually garner enough traffic to make it worthwhile to jam up some revenue producing elements, we can cross that road when we come to it. If we were to go down that road, then I would like to see that revenue used to create a screenwriting workshop for contributors, networking events, etc… It’s all just in the thinking stage right now.
As a few readers that emailed me asked, how can I guarantee blah blah blah (fill in the blahs).
So let me get that out of the way…
THERE AIN’T NO GUARANTEES.
Is that plain enough? Let’s get something straight right now and I say this NOT to offend anyone but simply to tell it like it is…
You have to want to do this just to be involved… Because you love screenwriting. As of NOW, there will be NO REWARDS and there may never be any real rewards for anyone that contributes.
I’m just sick of going to so many fucking sites that FORCE me to read two fucking paragraphs of information and then FORCE me to click on yet another NEXT PAGE LINK to keep reading in an effort to get me to click on a fucking ad.
Fuck all that.
I want something better and I can do it with or without help but for those that WANT to help, here’s your chance.
But you have to want to because you want to and not because of some possible reward… LOL.
I hate to even say this but sure… There could be eventual rewards but again, I would rather that NOT be the issue.
Email me if you have questions… Don’t be shy. Tell me what you think.
Unk
Wow- that guy has way too many steps. Personally, I think that would bog down the creativity in writing.
Alright, Unk. You convinced me. Once I figure out how my method can be helpful to others, I’ll contribute for sure.
If enough of us get together on the new site idea, and support it (cross reference from our own blogs, flyers under windshields, hire Hooters girls as town criers…) maybe we, and by we I mean you, can create our, and by our I mean we, some kind of exclusive screenplay contest? The small entry fee will be just to pay for shipping of the scripts for those that can’t do PDF and also to buy the prizes (software? a pro script coverage?) BlueCat started the same way, we can call it The Unknown Screenwriter Contest and the winner gets to find out who you are and sworn to secrecy like Dick Ebersol was finding out from Carly Simon on who “You’re So Vain” was about.
“You have YOUR OWN way of working. Probably different from many of us out here trying to do the same thing” Yes, I am sure there are more than one person out there who writes totally naked except for Star Trek slippers and flogs their back with a cat o nine tails every time the spellchecker beeps… right?
With respect to those who feel they can’t contribute because they haven’t “found the magic” in their own scripts – what a crock.
Listen, a blog is a chance to explore the craft and ask questions and learn things. I actually prefer bloggers who DON’T know it all. Ask a question and study it and invite others to contribute their thoughts. That, in and of itself, makes for great blogging, does it not? (One of my biggest weaknesses was subtext in dialogue. I did a study and now it’s one of my favorite topics.)
Unk, I don’t know if I totally grasp exactly what it is you’d doing, but I’ll happily contribute. It sounds great.
-MM
“…the winner gets to find out who you are and sworn to secrecy…”
I heard from a cousin of a friend who had an aunt who knew Unk that knowing his/her identity led to premature baldness, but his aunt wasn’t bald unless the baldness meant somewhere other than the head.
“…what a crock.”
That’s what Australian She said. Look, learning as you go and blogging about it is one thing, writing articles about things you know — which is what Unk is proposing, actual knowledge filled articles — is something completely different. My day job is in journalism, and I just have this thing about knowing before showing. But if the article is about how much I don’t know but want to learn…then, yeah sure, I can go for that.
Poke
MM, I think what a lot of people are afraid of doing is this (albeit I exaggerate):
Screanriting is EZ, doodz. Here are 3 easy steps:
-A good way to end each of your scenes is with a fight, between the bad guy and the good guy, to make sure people know they hate each other.
-Editing your script will make it stilted, because editing breaks down your creativity. Always go with your first, gut instinct, and don’t touch it once it’s written.
-Hollywood only likes 3 act structures…
Etc, etc.
You know- the kind of stuff that would DEFINITELY cause angry emails and death threats (I dunno how Unk gets them for his theories). And perhaps those things work for some people, when they write purely as a creative outlet… but I’m assuming that Unk wants to create a resource for aspiring PRO screenwriters. Therefore, you’d want to advice to be pro as well. And for people who haven’t sold a script, it’s that lack of experience and feedback from the “industry” that causes us to think “Well, maybe I really don’t know what I’m doing”…
I mean, hell- half my own blog is just me rambling about discoveries I make as I go- which is great- cause it’s a blog. But at no point do I claim it’s the “definitive” resource, which is what Unk seems to want to do.
Therefore, personally, I’d love to contribute, but wouldn’t want to steer someone in the wrong direction. A lot of my methods are indeed “method”, and most of my writing I try and draw from personal experience. It won’t work for everybody- I’m not even sure it works for me yet.
But again, as long as the Scribosphere is coming together on this, and can offer bi-lateral feedback on submissions, I’d feel a lot more comfortable submitting… knowing that a bunch of different minds are going to help me recycle if I’m spewing garbage.
Perhaps that could be one aspect of the site, Unk- a Q&A type thing, where screenwriters/noobs could pose questions, and a list of different responses could be presented, voted on, and ranked accordingly?
AskAScreenwriter.com?? That doesn’t seem to be registered….
Why is it that Spat always sounds more intelligent than I do?
Poke
Don’t worry Poke; I’m “acting”.
(big words + metaphors + sarcasm = sounds smarter than it is)
Please, no one answer that.
Poke
Damn, he’s quicker than me as well.
Poke
I’m quick, in the web. Like a water nymph.
Poke and Spat,
You two cracking me up AS USUAL…
MM,
It goes WITHOUT SAYING that I want your contributions! I was going to send you email but I’ve been so friggin’ busy… Just trying to play catch-up right now but look for one soon…
Unk
I’ve never once played professional football but that doesn’t stop me from yellig “off sides!” at the television. Okay, the analogy will eventually break down, but we can all contribute to this in one meaningful way or another — either that, or I need to put on a helmet and shoulder pads.
yelling even
yeah I definitely yell like a hothead coach during football but I’d be lucky to buy my way into a grade school football team…Luckily I feel my knowledge of movies and screenplays is leagues better than that. Hopefully, Unk if you’ll have me, I ‘ll get a chance to contribute. Even if it is a crock…
“I’ve never once played professional football but…”
Okay, if I wasn’t sold before, that just sold me — cause I swear if the Tuna had just called me last year The Boys would have had one for the other thumb in January.
Poke
SS,
All you need to do to contribute is to contribute… LOL. I’ll read it before prospective publishing… If I feel there’s something that should added, subtracted, tweaked, we’ll enter into a discussion…
Just to let you know…
Some EXPERTS have offered some of their articles that have already been written and I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with that as long as the articles are substantial…
Having said that… Google is really the only search engine to be concerned with on this project and over the next couple of years, they are really going after sites with duplicate content.
So whether you’re a Pro, and EXPERT, or just somebody who knows quite a bit about screenwriting, I do have to ask one thing…
That “IF” your articles exist ANYWHERE ELSE on the web, you’d be doing us BOTH a favor by tweaking your article to be at least 25% DIFFERENT from the way it exists elsewhere. Otherwise, all the sites that host said duplicate content are going to take a hit in Google’s search engine rankings and I feel this would be counterproductive to the overall effort.
I suspect we might get a few contributions from sites that already have more or less the same post/article on the contributor’s site which again is fine with me but please change the content i.e., the WORDING at least 25% overall and that really means tweaking each paragraph so by the end of the article/post, we have at least an overall 25% change.
Additionally, if you turn around and share this same article/post with other web sites out there, you will definitely want to repeat this process before submitting the article/post to another site.
I have ways of looking for existing duplicate content but of course I have no way to police future sites hosting the same content so just remember…
DUPLICATE CONTENT IS BAD. When I say duplicate, I mean a 100% clone of some content already in existence on the web. A simple way to handle this is to simply go into the existing information and rewrite each paragraph into a shorter, more concise paragraph but with the same intent and meaning.
Hope that explains it… If not, just yell out.
Unk
Out!
Sorry, my fingers slipped….
LOL. MaryAn… Are you just JOSHING me? Basically, the best way for prospective screenwriters to find a resource web site will be for them to perform a search. 9.75 times out of 10, the prospective screenwriter is going to use Google to perform that search.
Hence, I would prefer that the new site be search engine friendly… Which means trying to keep as much duplicate content as possible OFF the site.
I figure since the site’s being built as I type this, it’s probably a good idea to just put that out there right now… Most of the time, new sites don’t take SEO into consideration until after they’re established… They they start backtracking and trying to figure out a way to get more traffic.
I’m not so worried about traffic as I am about prospective screenwriters trying to find a relevant article that relates to their search… The more we police the duped content, the faster the site’s going to take off which is something I prefer…
Of course we could just toss everything up there and let the dice roll but in the end… I feel that would be way too counterproductive.
Okay… More explanation?
Unk
No more explanation. I just wanted to shout, “OUT!”
I’d love to get more traffic to my little myspace blog on screenwriting and filmmaking. It’s new, and just my own idiosyncratic thoughts – but it yearns for some commentary… so if you find something quotable there, feel free to snag it!
I’ll have a crack. Keep me informed.
