THAT makes me angry, Maryan. IF I ever had a problem with you I would not try to take shots at you on someone else's website. You should TRY to be more respectful and coridal to people who are trying to be nice, friendly and supportive of you.<BR/><BR/>- E.C. Henry from Bonney Lake, WAE.C.

Movies are all about images and STORY.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a slave to three acts or even the ol' "every character must arc" rule but even comedies have a story. In the case of a Monty Python film, an example of a "bad idea" might be to include a scene that brings the rythm to a screeching halt. My argument still works. <BR/><BR/>And as for "write what you know", every word we pen comes from an accumulation of our interests, research, and knowledge so technically, everything a writer writes is something he knows - maybe not well, maybe misconstrued, maybe something he made up - but it's based on something in his heart, head, or imagination.MaryAn Batchellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465966881051431143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17813352.post-37640500971113077952008-06-05T18:53:00.000-06:002008-06-05T18:53:00.000-06:00Can't wait to get you the rom-com I'm currently re...Can't wait to get you the rom-com I'm currently rewriting and see what you have to say. It's not were I want it to be, but it is coming along... <BR/><BR/>As a writer you want to create something that's memorible. I'm not a slave to STORY, as you suggest writers should be. Your arguement falls apart when it comes to comedy. Consider Monty Python... Their success is all about the momment, NOT about the story. <BR/><BR/>Axioms will always get you in trouble, girl. I've seen this trend in many of your past posts. Maryan, from past posts, you come across to me as person who is bound by rules, that aren't really rules. "Write what you know..." What a crock of shit! How would C.S. Lewis ever have written the "Chronicles of Narnia" if he had followed that rule? <BR/><BR/>If that last paragraph jarred you, GOOD! Maryan, you have some misconceptions you have need to let go of (it will make you a better, more creative writer). Writing is freedom. Movies are entertainment. The sucess of some are just more weighted on plot than others. <BR/><BR/>- E.C. Henry from Bonney Lake, WAE.C. Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10748007729066148300noreply@blogger.com
