We all know to show, don’t tell. But sometimes knowing what to do, and ‘how to’, are two different things. As I study the art of using perfect words to paint a picture for the big screen, I realize that I’m learning how to create pictures for my novel too. While we all love books and reading, I suggest you watch a movie and pay attention to how those pictures create feelings and emotions. See the action they show. And if you have an urge to read, pick up a screenplay book. You’ll find some useful tools within the pages. I did.
Remember, no matter how large the challenge is, it’s nothing but an opportunity to grow, learn, and become the best you can be.
Enjoy every moment!

The how to is definitely the hard part! And so many don't get into it. It sounds like a great retreat. Have fun and take tons more great pictures and notes for us!
ReplyDeleteThank you Heather. It's a wonderful challenge. And you and I both know there is nothing we can't do if we believe. And learn. Thanks for your comment!
ReplyDeleteI took a screen writing class last summer and it was a lot of fun. It made perfect sense! Enjoy Hawaii and the workshop!
