  1. What Is A Screenplay? http://www.howtowriteascreenplaythatsells.com A Beginner’s Guide To Screenplay Writing

  2. So, You Think You Can Do Better? How many times have you watched a boring movie and felt that even though you haven't actually written a screenplay, you can still tell a story better than that Hollywood script writer?

  3. What Are You Waiting For? Maybe it's time for you to stop being a "wishful player" and produce that story that's been swirling around in that creative brain of yours all these years.

  4. How do I put my story into a screenplay format? • What is a screenplay exactly? • How is it structured? • How does one describe characters, scenes, environments, etc.? • How do I write a screenplay that will sell?

  5. Where Can I Find Help? There always seems to be such a lack of appropriate guidance and tips on how to start such a challenge.

  6. So What Do I Do? Sure, you can find suggestions online, you may even come across some valuable instruction, but it always seems to fall just short of what you truly need in order to bring your story to life. Likewise, when you ask someone of authority how to write a screenplay, chances are high that they will not provide you with the true guidance in which to see your vision come to life.

  7. Learning The Ropes Nonetheless, there are some tricks and tips you should know before you hit that keyboard. . .

  8. Trick #1: To Dream In A Professional Manner So here you are, you've got your story in your mind (where it has been locked away for some time more than likely) and your convinced it will be highly engaging to an audience.

  9. You Know Your Story. . . You believe in your characters, the plot, the sub-plot, the location, all of it...but every time you sit behind the keyboard, your mind draws a blank and your vision quickly recedes back into dreamland…

  10. Dream While You Write! Don't misunderstand me, you must dream your tale before it becomes a reality, the trick is to dream professionally...meaning you must dream your script as you pound the keys on your keyboard. Imagination only takes you so far until work must take over. . .

  11. Writer’s Block Don't worry about writer's block. Every writer experiences days in which nothing will come forth. Every script has had moments when "writer's block" freezes the artist's mind to the point where it's difficult to even type the word, "Hello".

  12. Fight The Mind-Freeze The key to you creating the next Hollywood script is to fight that mind-freeze and push through the fog, even when you have convinced yourself you'd be better off watching a movie then writing one. . .

  13. Trick #2: Believable Characters This is very important! You've got to get the audience caring about them in one way or the other, so when something happens to the individual characters, the one reading the script is moved, either to joy or sadness, pain or comfort, etc.
