The Screenwriting Professor - research ranch

So happy to hear that the map exercise was helpful to some.  Here’s another sparky spark  - get things going - or breathe new life trick.  Pick up something you ALMOST finished or start something totally new.  Write down subjects you want to know more about - either from your head or from the script that never got closure.  You’ll be amazed by how it is EXACTLY the missing link in your script - the point that will lead you to the core of your story.  Try it - report back your findings.  Make a turkey sandwich and do it now.   happy thanksgiving.xtheprof   p.s. in your research, pay attention to the full names of things and how finding exact language engages your imagination .  Let one site lead you to the next and exhaust all leads.  The story will find you - just keep moving.
