#Scriptnotes

The most common note from a Stage 32 Industry Reader who evaluates scripts daily: "A commercial screenplay literally has to show an audience something new. Revisiting genre tropes is not enough. Homage is dead." What does your script show that is new? #Stage32 #ScriptNotes

🧲Ok, I will once again read one of your scripts and give notes for free in April. Send me your loglines and i'll pick the one that I find the most interesting. This proved very popular last time I did it so why not do it again? #screenwriting #screenwriter #scriptnotes

CLIFFHANGER (1993) I humbly request a #Scriptnotes episode to teach us the best way to write and sell a premise. @johnaugust @clmazin

Starting to wonder if the fact that one of my favorite #scriptnotes t-shirts is breaking down at PRECISELY the moment that Craig and @johnaugust are discussing the need to bin locked drafts and colored pages is actually proof that Craig is right—and we are living in a simulation.

I love seeing people win. To celebrate her win, I’ll also throw in a year of #scriptnotes w/ @johnaugust and @clmazin who always CRUSH it. Type your favorite emoji 🦖 and a number between 1-500 and person closest wins!🤘🏻 #WritingCommunity #screenwriting #RickGivesAwayCoolStuff

Dear #screenwriting Twitter friends. I'm finally writing again, which means, I want to be READING again. Anybody looking for #scriptnotes? No reciprocation needed. I have nothing to share yet, but I want to keep in this groove and dig back into the community. 🤙

New on #ChangingTheNarrative Events: Listen to @speakingabtpain discuss how the media covers chronic pain and prescription opioids, as well as @ZachWritesStuff at @HollywdHealth via @johnaugust & @clmazin #scriptnotes

Listening to #Scriptnotes podcast and @johnaugust is advising a screenwriter not to put all of his eggs in one basket after a good initial meeting with a creative director, followed by two months of silence. It's like dating, he says. EXACTLY. Writers, don't wait for... [1/2]

For our friends that are interested in writing, @johnaugust & @clmazin's #Scriptnotes podcast is a great listen:

I would like to pay this forward. Respond below and I'll gift someone a year of #scriptnotes premium membership. Only one response per person. I'll pick a winner tomorrow by noon. Good luck! #amwriting #writingcommunity -- thanks @leahwelch19 for the inspiration for this one

Great conversations about AI in the industry — peep the first 15 mins and last 15 mins for a quick pulse check. #scriptnotes Appreciate all the dopeness folks like John August, Mike Schur and ALL the folks standing up for our futures. Much love

Huge fan of #ScriptNotes. I have been getting a lot of DMs asking about screenwriting advice. Best advice I can give is for beginners is to start at episode 1 and listen to all of the podcast wisdom of @johnaugust and @clmazin. Here is a link :) Enjoy

This week's #Scriptnotes features @johnaugust & @clmazin doing a deep dive into one of the best comedies of all time — CLUELESS. It's truly the loveliest, happiest, most hopeful pearl in a sea of pessimistic garbage. If you need a mental break, this is the ticket.

How I don’t get a knock on my door following some of my google searches I’ll never know #tvdrama #scriptnotes #newshow Today’s : Can you break off a body part if frozen? Anyone?

breaking from The Armstrongs for a few so @clmazin and @johnaugust can drop some much needed knowledge on me #scriptnotes #scriptnoteslive

If you’re like me and would like a simple breakdown on all the WGA/SAV/MBA— Look no further than the Sidecast from #Scriptnotes and @johnaugust.

My one cool thing today is the 500th episode of #scriptnotes congrats & thank you @johnaugust @clmazin for an epic #podcast where I’ve learned so much!! #Screenwriters #Writers listen up! 🙌🙌 ❤️ #uplifting #Inspiring #WritersLife #AmWriting #writer

Watching the Super Bowl reminded me of something @johnaugust said on #scriptnotes – statistically speaking, it’s easier to be drafted into the NFL than be a working screenwriter.

When co host of the Scriptnotes podcast and legendary feature writer @johnaugust says animation writers deserve the same pay as live action writers, you listen! #NewDeal4Animation #PayAnimationWriters #Scriptnotes
