I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded the Best Short Script for my Animation Script at the Writers Guild of South Africa Muse Awards for "Duet." #screenwriter #writer #awardwinner #Grateful

@AuthorGFAllen Here!

Where are all the writers?

@jeffreyhoward33 I do the same . Helps me get back into the rhythms and tones of the story and characters😊

Every time I sit to work on an ongoing script, I start at the beginning and read and revise to warm up for the new stuff.

I received great feedback and notes on my Christmas romcom today! Going to take the next few days to focus on working through them and my script. So grateful for the expert advice and time given to my script 🙏🏼 #screenwriters #screenwriting #WritingCommunity

@BobSnz This is so exciting ! I’d love to read it !

I finished my second original spec of the year. A lower budget contemporary Supernatural Biblically Based Thriller. That’s a genre, right? So far big thumbs up from those who have read it, plus… some requests.

@BobSnz Best ahah moment!!!

That feeling as you’re doing a major rewrite when you find a massive logic hole and a fix for it at the same time.

@BobSnz I just had this experience with a script I wrote years back. It’s been gathering dust and a producer is now interested in it and actively working on funding! No resting in peace ! ❤️

Take it from me. None of your unsold work is ever dead, no matter how old it is.

@WritersGuild_SA Thank you so much to the judges for seeing potential in the Ladies or Lavare ❤️

I’m so grateful to have the Ladies make the semi-finals of the @WritersGuild_SA Muse Awards ! Thank you thank you 🙏🏼

@fanie_minne @landbourainier So much trauma to go through - but what a miracle ! Did you have a near death experiences that you could remember ?

@storyandplot I now follow the same process after finding myself to often jn a muddle just “winging” my story.

It took me a while, but about 10 years ago, I finally settled on a consistent process that takes me from idea to final draft. 1. Pre-Outline. 2. Outline. 3. Treatment 4. The screenplay 5. Rewrites. This naturally creates slightly different versions of the same story as I adapt one phase to the next. There’s problem-solving and discoveries at each step, but I’m refining with purpose and without tangents. There is far less wasted energy and frustration here. As a result, I get to a very good, polished draft relatively quickly. You need to learn some version of this once you start writing professionally. You want the entire team on the same page, and their buy-in is essential throughout the process. But it was learning to commit to doing it for myself, rather than as a step that someone else required, that made the difference. While I am always looking for refinement, I'll never go back to my old way of screenwriting.

@jamesvsimpson This is great! What makes up a sequence ?

I love outlining a new script. I write in 5 Acts with 8 sequences and 32 story cards. I try to give each sequence its own unity and arc. This is how I do it. Every writer is different. You do you.

Today I’m in editor mode! Editing a one-pager and a feature script outline. I’ve set out the entire day in my diary to do this! But I need to take the x-mastree down - shouldn’t take long? Maybe I’ll just keep it up for inspiration? #writers #screenwriters #WritingCommmunity

@SandtonCity What happened to all the Christmas festivities Sandton used to display ? No music or festivities. So sad to see that there has been no effort for Christmas this year 😞 tiny little set up but basically nothing? Why?

Calling all families, don’t forget to capture the joy of this season with Santa before he heads back to the North Pole. 📷❄️ Find Santa at our Photos with Santa station, in Centre Court, until 24 December, daily from 9am to 6pm. See you there 🌲 #SandtonCityFestive #FestiveSeason #PhotosWithSanta #Christmas #SantaClaus

@Mulalo__M @JaxSas @Citiq_Prepaid @Eskom_SA @CitiPower Here we go - I started calling just before 8am and the call was dropped a few times but I kept at it. And they were so helpful and sorted out within minutes . 0875511155 Hope you have the same luck ⭐️

@JaxSas @Citiq_Prepaid @Eskom_SA @CitiPower I called them - they helped me straight away with the new numbers within 5 minutes. Just keep trying to speak to someone.

@ActionTam @Citiq_Prepaid @Eskom_SA @CitiPower What do we do? I tried calling them again today but only recording is playing then the call cuts out

@Eskom_SA @helenzille When we bought electricity to get the code to put in it they said they can’t help us ? Managed to get through to eskom and they say that there is a delay and our meter isn’t ready to be upgraded??? Please help urgently

Hi. To check if your pre-paid meter is on KRN1 or KRN2, punch in 1844 6744 0738 4377 2416 on your meter keypad. If your meter displays a “2” or “2.2”, you have been upgraded to KRN2, but if your meter displays a “1” or “1.2”, you still need to upgrade your meter to KRN 2. To recode your meter: Purchase electricity from an approved Eskom vendor, and you'll receive two extra 20-digit recode tokens to enter into your meter. If your meter is not accepting the KRN2 recode token, chat with our friendly chatbot, Alfred at alfred.eskom.co.za/chatroom or dial *120*37566# on your mobile for further assistance.

Good morning @Eskom_SA I am trying to get urgent information on the KRN number for a pre-paid electricity meter re-coding. It is absolutely impossible to get through to you by phone. Please advise urgently so that I meet the deadline.

@brentyeaaa Hey there 🫶🏻

If you’re a writer who’s looking to connect with more writers and readers, say “hey there.”

@storyandplot Thank you for the reminder! I was stuck in my mid point and you’ve helped me dislodge myself! Thank you for sharing ❤️

I struggled early on with the midpoint in my screenwriting. I knew it was important, but I was still pretty hit or miss. It wasn't until I understood the midpoint's role beyond just a plot point that I found any consistency. This is how I utilize the midpoint now. 👇
