Writing with POWER
This is the cover of my screenwriting booklet, Writing with POWER.
I started writing it when Mom and I went to Memphis. It kept me busy during the day while she was in class. I continued working on it when we came home and I finally finished it this morning.
While I was homeschooling the boys, I found a writing curriculum that taught students to TOWER their writing. Think, Outline, Write, Edit, Rewrite. I loved the acronym and adapted it a bit for my screenwriting booklet.
The 38 page booklet is a glorified version of notes taken from my favorite screenwriting, or fiction writing, books and is organized into 4 chapters.
Chapter 1 - Ponder your Story
Chapter 2 - Organize your Story
Chapter 3 - Write your Story
Chapter 4 - Evaluate and Rewrite your Story
Now instead of reaching for 20 screenwriting books, I can reach for this one little booklet. It will continue to be a work in progress. As I learn or remember neat little tricks or techniques, they will be added to the booklet. With my booklet finished, at least the POW stages, I can start working on my screenplays again.
