tagging Star Log – Test Post – Please Ignore – Thank you!

When starting a new blog, I like to set up all the “possible” tags I may use over the years to come, and so I have them in the clickable drop down menu of my dashboard, I put them all on the first few posts of the blog – This is a very old post, copied from Star Log, to put my tags on this blog. The only thing this post contains is a list of every tag I have every used on Star Log. As each tag list can only contain 200 characters, there well be several of these posts, until all tags have been inserted into this blogs drop down feature. So, you can just ignore this post as it is only useful to me the blogger and not you the reader.

Script Frenzy RE: Formatting one sided telephone calls

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird

RE: Formatting one sided telephone calls
Tierra wrote:

I’m writing a stage play and in some of my scenes the main character is talking on the phone but you don’t actually here what the person on the other line says. When my MC is listening to the response should I say that she pauses or just right the next line?

MAIN CHARACTER
Hi, how are you. (beat) That’s good to hear.
MAIN CHARACTER
Hi, how are you. (pause) That’s good to hear.
MAIN CHARACTER
Hi, how are you. (pauses) That’s good to hear.
MAIN CHARACTER
Hi, how are you.
(pauses)
That’s good to hear.
MAIN CHARACTER
Hi, how are you. That’s good to hear.

I’m thinking it’s not the last one so do I say beat, pause or pauses (as in she pauses). Also would it be right in the dialogue or as what Celtx calls parenthetical (which if I’m correct is for character action in their dialogue).
__________________________

Not sure if this would be correct or not, seeing how I seem to do things slightly different than standard some times, but I would use this:

    MAIN CHARACTER Hi, how are you. (pauses) That’s good to hear.

or this:

    MAIN CHARACTER Hi, how are you. (pauses to listen) That’s good to hear.

or this:

    MAIN CHARACTER Hi, how are you… …That’s good to hear.
WickedJenny wrote:

Using an ellipsis (…) is more common in stage plays than parentheses with beat or pause.

Also, just FYI, despite the guide lines Script Frenzy provides, stage play formatting is more typically character name all caps, justified left, full colon, dialogue, with the following lines of the paragraph tabbed in. Example here: http://www.brightstarplayscripts.com/GTdialogue.html

Even in the SF example you will note that the dialogue is given a much wider field. Dialogue is generally 90% of a stage play’s text, making it a thin strip in the middle of the page is a waste of space and more difficult to read since you are much more likely to have long sections of dialogue in a stage play than in a film script. Having character names centered above the dialogue can be difficult to read (a short line of dialogue might not even make it over to the character name, and the eye is constantly having to change its “justification” without benefit of space on the page).

The only exception to this that I know of is young people’s theatre in which a modified version of film script format is sometimes used because it does leave a lot more space on the page, which is less intimidating and dialogue tends to be shorter anyway.

I noticed this as well. When I was looking at the SF formatting guide for stage plays and saw the character names centered, I went: “Huh – that looks weird, it’s shouldn’t be like that should it?”
I’ve always seen scripts written character name justified left, and then dialog below it, indented slightly.

Script Frenzy RE: Celtx ain’t loving description…advise? (Writing Comic Scripts)

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird


Celtx ain’t loving description…advise?
I think this is the right place (since I hope this can be fix with me tweaking formatting), sorry if it’s not.

Okay so, for those who don’t know, Celtx splits the page in two, in the tpe set, that being description of panel (I’m doing a comic) one side, and dialogue/captions on the other in a box that I can best describe as a table on word.

I’m on the descriptive side, almost to the insane at times, sometimes, it can even take a whole ‘description half’ of a page for me to write out a panel.

The problem is, whenever I write MORE than that, it doesn’t automatically continue onto another page. it continues in the ‘box’ but the box won’t continue onto the next page. It’s like, I bet if I scrolled, I’d find all I’ve written, but that’s not exactly helpful is it? I just get a blank page of script with nothing written on it (grr).

It’s an irritating problem… a way to solve it is to cut the description as if it was another panel, which is okay when I’m writing a splash page but is only going to be confusing for any other page ie. ‘PANEL 2, well it says that but it’s PANEL one carrying on, panel 3 is 2 and…’ . And I can’t change the side ‘PANEL 2′ to say PANEL 1 cont.’

Any advise on how to fix this? Asides from the obvious ‘less description’ because well, I shouldn’t have to try and cut back on something so important because my softwear is being a pain.

I might be able to screen cap, if anyone needs it to understand my problem, so… help?

RE: Celtx ain’t loving description…advise?
I know what your problem is – I’ve had the same problem myself. I’m afraid, I have yet to find a cure, other than to drastically shorten my descriptions down.

Unfortunately, Celtx Comic is using “Marvel Format”, which is called by that name, because there is ONLY one publisher who accepts scripts written in that format. Want to try and guess which publisher is the ONLY publisher that accepts Marvel Formatted script. Yep, you guessed it: Marvel! So if you are writing Spidy or X-Men than Celtx Comic is great, but if you are writing Donald Duck or Batman – forget it!

So, if you want to get professionally published, by any company OTHER than Marvel, you won’t be able to use Celtx Comics format for your script.

I dislike writing in Marvel Format, probably because I’m used to writing for Disney, which uses tradition comic format. Traditional comic format looks a lot like a Stage Play script (I recomend using Celtx’s Theater format for this), only instead of reading: Act 1; Scene 1, you would type Page 1; Panel 1. Than just type character dialog and scene description, same as for a stage play.

If you are planning on writing for Disney, DC, Dark Horse, etc (any publisher OTHER than Marvel) you are going to want to use Celtx StagePlay/Theater for writing comic scripts. Only use Celtx Comic format if writing for Marvel.

Script Frenzy RE: Is anyone here serious about screenwriting?

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird


RE: Is anyone here serious about screenwriting?
hemlock wrote:

First let me just say that I’m aware that Script Frenzy is not about producing masterpieces. I know the point is just to get that first draft on the page.

However, from what I’ve seen in the forums so far it seems most people’s goal is not to get a potentially good script out at all, it is simply to write 100 pages of nonsense.
I mean no offence but why the hell are you including 7 pages of song (or some other equally dumb crap) when you could be writing something that’s actually relevant to the plot? Do you want to write a movie or do you want to write 100 pages of shit in script format? I understand people get stuck sometimes but, honestly, writing a bunch of crap is not gonna help — going back to your outline is a far better solution.
I think Script Frenzy is a great motivation boost but I question how many people here actually take their scripts and this craft seriously.

I completely agree with you.

The thing you are referring to is called “Word Padding”. Word Padding sucks. It sucks so much that I wrote a rant about how much I hated it and all the reasons why no legitimate writer in their right mind would ever even consider using it.http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2789136/nanowrimo_reaching_5000… The article was aimed at NaNoWriMo of course, but yep, even here on SF, it still sucks and I still hate it.

I’m a professional writer. Writing is my career. Writing pays the bills and buys the food. I can not afford to write crap or use Word Padding in my work. Therefore I treat both NaNo and SF as vital parts of my career and both are treated very seriously on my part.

That said – not every one is a professional writer. If you are planning to publish/produce than word padding is going to do more harm than good in the long run. HOWEVER: If you are not a professional writer, and you are only writing for practice or for yourself or friends, than really, who cares what you write or how you write it? Not every one here has a professional writing career in mind when they join the contest, and that’s okay. I think those of us who do this sort of thing for a living should strive for high standards, but I don’t ask that of others, because that’s not why they joined – they joined to have fun.

Script Frenzy RE: WAY TOO EASY???

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird

WAY TOO EASY???
So, this is my first year and it seems way too easy. I already have forty pages. Does this mean that I’m not trying hard enough, or is dialogue something I’m pretty good at? I was also wondering if there were any other people out there who had never tried this before and now feel like it is simply too easy.

RE: WAY TOO EASY???
Been doing NaNo since 2004 – won the last 5 of them. I’ve singed up for Script Frenzy since 2006, this is my 4th try, but it’s also the first year some major event did not stop me from starting (flood took our house in May 2006, a funeral the next year, etc.) So this is my ACTUAL first year doing Script Frenzy, even though I signed up to do each year before. However, my lack of actually starting, had nothing to do with how easy/hard script writing is.

NaNoWriMo is a BIG challenge for me, and those 5 wins are the only 5 novels I’ve ever written. I’m a professional writer. I am not a novelist though. I write short stories, Disney shorts (comic books), how-to articles for ezines, stage play shorts for small theater, full production ballet scripts, etc. In other words, while writing scripts is something I do all the time, writing novels is something I have never done outside of NaNoWriMo.

I think that is why I’m so diligent about getting started with NaNo, but not so diligent about getting started with Script Frenzy. NaNo is a challenge for me. NaNo is hard for me. NaNo is doing something I’m not used to doing – writing in a formate that normally I don’t use. Script Frenzy on the other hand, is a format that I use all the time anyways. It’s not that big of a challenge for me, it’s me doing what I would be doing every month anyways, so I for some reason don’t see Script Frenzy as a challenge, because I can have 100 pages of script written in a week, simply because this style of writing is second nature to me.

Another thing is Script Frenzy is only 3 pages a day and I write that much in a half hour. Keeping in mind that for comics – 3 pages a day is only 300 words a day. Rarely do comics have more than 100 words per page. And even a screenplay is not often going to see 200 words per page, so at the most a 100 page script is only 20,000 words – less than half the word count of NaNo, and is more likely to be 10,000 words which is only 1/5 of NaNoWriMo! So time wise – once you get the hang of formating, SF is going to be a lot easier than NaNo for most people, just because of the huge difference in words per month.

NaNoWriMo, my first 2 years, were big fails. I just could not get into the whole novel writing format. It was really frustrating for me to get a handle on writing all the long descriptions and I was constantly writing dialog out with stage play format instead of novel format, I’ve yet to write a novel with any *he said* or *she asked* or other such dialog tags and there wouldn’t be a quotation mark in sight – I had to go back after the contest and edit those in. I was writing NaNo going:

    NAME:
    Things the character had to say.

and than I’d go back and say “damn I’m writing in script again! Got to go fix that – this is supposed to be a novel”
But than with Script Frenzy I was like: “Oh that’s easy – well, I got to do this and that right now, so I can do SF next year.”

Anyways, for me personally, I find script format a lot easier to write than novel format, so Script Frenzy is a lot easier for me than NaNoWriMo is. But that’s also considering that I write scripts not novels on a daily basis anyways, too. I suppose for some one used to novel writing, getting a handle of script format could be just as hard for them, as it was for me to switch from scripts to novels, so it’s all a matter of perspective and what you are personally used to doing.

Screnzy RE: What would Pixies want??

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird

What would Pixies want??
My story will include Pixies. They have something very important, which will break a vampire’s curse put on a gargoyle’s true love.

The gargoyle is going to have to do some tough bargaining with these Pixies to get this special item. The Pixies are demanding all kinds of things..so far… various shades of glitter, little furniture, trained dragon flies to ride, and high quality miniature musical instruments, a bigger supply of toadstool dew (their version of alcohol/drug)

What else could a Pixie demand?? I want to make it really hard on this poor gargoyle. BTW – he lives in a rural area with just a general store.

RE: What would Pixies want??
Pixies are noted for being very vain and greedy and esp desirous of fine clothes of an eccentric and outlandishly expensive nature. If they were mine, I’d have them asking for utterly impossible things like “waistcoats woven out of rubies”, “shoes made of diamond dust” or “robes made of silk-moth wings”.

They have a great love for horses and for braiding and unbraiding horse tails, and may demand certain specific horses be given to them — horses that your character would have to steal from some wealthy ruler most likely, in order to satisfy the pixie’s whims.

They don’t like to give things away for nothing and will want to “test” your characters “worth” and would add such notations to their requests, such as “but only the one found in the belly button of the great octopus of the Bermuda triangle” or “which is at the bottom of dead mans gorge, from whence no one has ever returned”.

Pixies are also fickle, and are said to have brains so tiny that they can think of only one thought at a time, thus they may easily forget that they sent your character on a quest, and/or no longer want the particular item by the time your character returned with it, and keep sending your character after first one item than another, before your character is finally able to return with an item quick enough to get it to the pixie before they changed their mind again.

They are also nasty tricksters, and after one pixie gets what s/he requests, they would say, “now got to ___ (another pixie) and he will tell you where to find what you seek”. Your character may have to go through 4 or 5 different pixies in this manner before eventually being directed to the correct pixie that actually had the item you character needs.
Once your character finally got to the right pixie and was actually given the item needed, s/he would also have to worry about getting glamored. S/he may take the item, put it in their pocket, and return home; but once home find their pocket full of acorns or stones or dried leaves instead. Than s/he’d have to seek out the pixies all over again, and have to use trickery to get the REAL item away from the pixies.

Pixies, leprechauns, loki, and far-darrigs are all tricky like that, which is why they are called Tricksters.

Screnzy RE: My MC has a stutter, and he does it almost EVERY line. Do I have to specify every time he talks?

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird

Quick Question
My MC has a stutter, and he does it almost EVERY line. Do I have to specify every time he talks?

MICHELLE
(stuttering)
Don’t blow up anything too important.

Or can I just say it in his character description?

MICHELLE, an eighteen year old boy-next-doorish-looking guy with a STUTTER….?

Is there a standard on this sort of thing? I’d think you wouldn’t have to say it every time, but SOMETIMES he doesn’t stutter (under certain, specific circumstances). However, I’m going to have to specify that he isn’t stuttering regardless — because otherwise someone reading it might just think I forgot to say he was stuttering…. Anyone know?

RE: Quick Question
I would mention it in the cast/character description.

    MICHELLE, an eighteen year old boy-next-doorish-looking guy with a STUTTER….?

And than every once in a while add a quick “stutter” into the dialog, just to remind the actor they are supposed to be stuttering.

    MICHELLE
    D…D…don’t blow up anything too..too im…important.

I wouldn’t do it too often, say maybe only once every 10 or 12 lines. Of course, writing the stutter in, every time you want the character to stutter, would ensure that the actor stuttered on the right words at the right time.
I would not use this: (stuttering)

    MICHELLE
    (stuttering)
    Don’t blow up anything too important.

because I think it would be too redundant, for the actor to keep seeing it every line.

Script Frenzy RE: Cutting characters off? & How write two people saying the same thing at the same time?

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird

Quick! How do I…
write two people saying the same thing at the same time?
I just realized that my main characters are going to be doing this a lot.
__________________________

Cutting characters off?
How do I cut my characters off?

Example:

JOHN:
I like eggs their so delic-

MARY:
(cutting John off)
No way! Cheese is better!

Is that the correct way to do it? Or no?
__________________________

RE: Cutting characters off?
I’d do it this way:

    JOHN
    I like eggs they’re so delic…

    MARY
    No way! Cheese is better!

But if you have a lot of characters overlapping, instead of just once, I’d do it this way:

    Characters speaking in overlapping banter:


    JOHN
    I like eggs they’re so delic…

    MARY
    No way! Cheese is bet…

    Gary
    You’re both wrong, orang…

    Orson
    Now wait a minute, why can’t you have cheese on your eggs?

I find that characters cutting each other off, works best if the sentences are super short, and nearly identical, running on the same train of thought, as though the characters were one character speaking a single sentence. I’ll show you what I mean.

Here is how I did it. This is copied from the script I am writing right now. In this part, there are 3 black cats talking to one another, and in the last line, they scream out the same word, all at once. Here is how I wrote it:

    BLACK CAT #1
    Listen!

    BLACK CAT #2
    Can it be?

    BLACK CAT #3
    Yes, I do think it is.

    BLACK CAT #1
    Are you sure?

    BLACK CAT #2
    It sounds like…

    BLACK CAT #3
    It is!

    BLACK CAT #1
    BLACK CAT #2
    BLACK CAT #3
    EMMETT!!!

Script Frenzy RE: Writing characters that can’t talk?

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird


Characters that can’t talk?
One of my characters can’t talk, but the person who’s talking to her doesn’t know that, so she’s asking her questions and waiting for a response. How do I indicated that she’s not responding? Do I just write that there’s a pause, or what?
__________________________


RE: Characters that can’t talk?
tjmagee wrote:

You could just put a brief description of what the non-speaking guy does after someone says something to him – he shrugs his shoulders, smiles, or whatever it is he does when someone talks to him.

That’s what I do.

In the script that is in my excerpt section on my profile, you will see how I did it. That one is a ballet – NO characters talk in a ballet! LOL! =P However the ballet was based on a book I wrote a few years ago, and one of the characters, the merman, never speaks. I don’t know if he can’t talk, or won’t talk, or just doesn’t know English, but anyways, he never speaks.

I’m also writing a play version of the story too, (I haven’t started in yet), but in that one, when it comes time for him to “speak” in the script, I’ll type his name in the “character slot” and than instead of dialog, I’ll write in a stage/scene description underneath telling what he is doing.

How Does One Start a Small Theater Group?

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird

Here is a copy of a thread I started HERE.

On one of the older threads, I read this post:

[quote=Mandy-Jane;1117321]I’m involved in local theatre. My husband and I run our own theatre group, and we have about 20 members. He produces and acts, and this year he’s directing the show that we’re doing. My involvement tends to be more “administrative” I guess, due to the fact that I’m generally housebound with two young kids. I write the monthly newsletter that goes out to the group, and I help to organise advertising and promotion of our shows. At the moment I’m working on a program for our upcoming production. We also run a theatre festival every year, full of performances and workshops in all aspects of theatre. This year we’re running a writer’s competition for local writers to submit one act plays. The winner’s play will be workshopped and given a public reading. Very exciting (except that I can’t enter of course!) I agree with you Bison, and I did intend to respond, but of course I never did get around to it until now! Local theatre is very exciting, and almost compulsory for people like us wanting to improve our playwriting skills.[/quote]

I was in my first play at age 5. From that point on it was love at first sight. I did about a dozen or so more plays, and convinced my parents to take me to several live plays, a ballet, 2 Ice Capades shows, and an opera. I watched Great Preferomances on PBS. I siged up for ballet lessons and had a frilly pink tutu, but than my parants couldn’t afford the lessons, so I never became a dancer. All this happened before I was 12 years old.

By the time I was 16 I realized that my passion for live theater, was to create rather than perform, as I did more play writing and costume designing (and sewing) than I did actual acting. The result was I enrolled in a 2 year fasion design course.

As an adult I ended up become an saleswoman and an author, but theater still lurks in the back of my head, and I continue to write ballets and design costumes.

Than about 3 years ago, I wrote up a plan to start my own theater-dance group, and got stuck, when it hit me that, not one single person I knew had any interest in this idea at all.

Well, I wondering: How do you go about starting a theater group? or rather:

How do you go about starting a theater groupo, when you are a writer who writes ballet/dance-plays, but you have no friends or family interested in theater at all?

I do not know anyone who wants to be part of a stage group! How do I go about finding others to help out? I’d like to start a group where I would be the playwrite-stage director-costume designer. That means I’d need to find a chorographer, music writer, accountant/manager, a tailor, set makers, and of course the actor-dancers, plus anyone else I missed mentioning. AWK! How do I find those? Am I thinking “too big”?

For those of you who started or are in some way involved in small theater groups, how did you get started? How did you find others to join you? What advice can you give to someone just starting out?

Thanks!

What’s your take on this? I’d love to hear what you have to say about this post. Leave a comment and share your views!

Here is a copy of a thread I started HERE.

On one of the older threads, I read this post:

[quote=Mandy-Jane;1117321]I’m involved in local theatre. My husband and I run our own theatre group, and we have about 20 members. He produces and acts, and this year he’s directing the show that we’re doing. My involvement tends to be more “administrative” I guess, due to the fact that I’m generally housebound with two young kids. I write the monthly newsletter that goes out to the group, and I help to organise advertising and promotion of our shows. At the moment I’m working on a program for our upcoming production. We also run a theatre festival every year, full of performances and workshops in all aspects of theatre. This year we’re running a writer’s competition for local writers to submit one act plays. The winner’s play will be workshopped and given a public reading. Very exciting (except that I can’t enter of course!) I agree with you Bison, and I did intend to respond, but of course I never did get around to it until now! Local theatre is very exciting, and almost compulsory for people like us wanting to improve our playwriting skills.[/quote]

I was in my first play at age 5. From that point on it was love at first sight. I did about a dozen or so more plays, and convinced my parents to take me to several live plays, a ballet, 2 Ice Capades shows, and an opera. I watched Great Preferomances on PBS. I siged up for ballet lessons and had a frilly pink tutu, but than my parants couldn’t afford the lessons, so I never became a dancer. All this happened before I was 12 years old.

By the time I was 16 I realized that my passion for live theater, was to create rather than perform, as I did more play writing and costume designing (and sewing) than I did actual acting. The result was I enrolled in a 2 year fasion design course.

As an adult I ended up become an saleswoman and an author, but theater still lurks in the back of my head, and I continue to write ballets and design costumes.

Than about 3 years ago, I wrote up a plan to start my own theater-dance group, and got stuck, when it hit me that, not one single person I knew had any interest in this idea at all.

Well, I wondering: How do you go about starting a theater group? or rather:

Script Frenzy and Ballet Deviare

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird

Demand it!

On the NaNoWriMo Forums, things are heating up as folks start planning for NaNoWriMo’s other writing contest: Script Frenzy.

[quote=RiftDoggy]As some of us found out after finishing our novels, next year’s Script Frenzy has been moved from June to April, and the goal is now 100 pages, as opposed to 20,000 words. I guess anyone with questions for veterans, or advice for newbies, can just discuss it here.

For my part, I’d reccomend that anyone who wants to learn the specifics on writing a screenplay or script visit the Script Frenzy site, and go to the Writer’s Resources section. There, you’ll find formatting and writing tips.

Plus, anyone who wants to get a jump start go to the Celtx website, where you’ll find a free program that can format your screenplay or stage play as you write. It also has a few nifty tricks up its sleeve, like a flash card sequencing system, among other things.

[/quote]

Thanks for the links!

I had planned on doing Script Frenzy last (this) year, but it was already over by the time i remembered it. :( So i’ve never done Script Freny before… i’ll have to put a countdown clock on my blog so i don’t forget this time!

NaNoWriMo is so much easier to remember, i guess.

April… cool, 2 months sooner is good for me, cause I’ve got a play I’m just itching to write, plus there’s a local contest for plays (grand prize it for it’s production… including the score being played by the Portland Symphany Orchastra… it’s their theater that does the contest, and it’s onlt 40mins from my house! WOO-HOO!). The contest is helpd in the fall, so Script Frenzy earlier gives me more edit time before the contest!

From 20,000 words to 100 pages! Tht’s a big switch ain’t it? i do an avegare of 347 words per page, (the way I’ve got my format set up) so that’s 34,700 words for me. YOW! Most scripts are not that long! 25,000 words is a really long script!

What’s the average word count per page for the rest of you guys? Is my words per page higher than average? Should I change my format settings?’

I’m planning to write a series of one to two act plays. You know, like the sckit-types kids do for school, where each class does a differant quick 15-min play? The theme is Halloween. Kind of Horror, but more sppoky-time fun Horror for kids, type of Horror.

i’m planning to go all out, cause i’m a fashion (stage costume) designer by training, so my script will include not only the stript for the play, but alo the portfolio for the costumes and stage settings. i’m leaning it heavy of the ballet side, cause I’m planning a ballet-play combo for mine. Is anyone familiar with Ballet Deviare? That’s the type of thing I’m planning on writing. Ballet + heavy metal + horror play all rolled into one. i’ve been plotting this story out for about 5 years now, so i know exactly what i want to do with it. I can’t wait for Script Frenzy to get started!

EDIT:

I just went to Script Frenzy and edied my profile. I’ve got my “movie poster” up now, if anyone wants to check it out: http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/eng/user/132659
