Legit notes from the boy draft one is 1) Tomas doesn’t sound like a gangbanger then draft two is 2) Tomas sounds like a stereotypical gangbanger.
Dude like Tomas is a stereotype. He is meant to do nothing but be that. In this pilot he’s a side character in every meaning of the world.
He’s fuckin Weevil tbh and if I ever got a series order then their stories would progress similarly.

How I Outline Plot (Using 6-Stage Plot Structure)
Most writers dread outlining their stories. I don’t really know why. For every good book I’ve written, there’s been a nice, meaty outline. An outline consolidates every detail of your story and keeps it in a place where you can easily see the transition between scenes, chapters, and acts. My personal method has only 5 steps.
1. Create a synopsis for your story. Or just write down what you kinda want to happen. It can be pretty rough.
2. Create a table in your document. I’m using Microsoft Word 2007.
3. In a fresh document, divide your story into three acts: beginning, middle, end. (If you’re using the 6-Stage Plot Structure, assign the parts their names.) Here, I broke it into four sections but there shouldn’t be very much back story in your actual book at all.
4. Decide what happens in your story to start it (Mirabelle leaving her house), and put that in the first square of your table (the top square circled in green.) What happens after that? That second thing (Mirabelle hesitates) goes in the second square, (the bottom square circled in green). Pretty simple.
5. Continue filling in the squares with whatever material you have. You have gaps? No problem. You’ve got entire chapters missing? No problem. When you create a synopsis, or write your goals for a story, you tend to figure out your plot as you go. It’s normal to have gaps after that, too—filling in character sheets or just a good, ponderous shower can unlock the mystic gaps of your plot. Whenever you think of something, WRITE IT DOWN.
And there you have it! Your book is outlined, and you have a temporary synopsis, too. I’m not kidding about writing down every idea you have, by the way. Whether you think it’s stupid or not, it could save your book’s life when chapter nine is just a glaring, blank space with nothing to say.
I hope this was comprehensive, but if you have any questions let me know!

HBO Scrambles As Writing Fellowship Signup Site Crashes
HBO Scrambles As Writing Fellowship Signup Site Crashes:
“The site was unable to handle the volume of activity at the time of launch,” HBO said in a statement to Deadline. “Without A Box worked quickly to resolve the issue, but due to the overwhelming number of applicants the site is moving slowly. In response to the demand for the program, HBO will expand the number of applicants it will review and grant waivers to some who were unable to access the site at the time of launch. Applicants may request a waiver by sending an email to hboaccess@hbo.com with REQUEST FOR WAIVER in the subject line. Waivers will be granted on a first-come basis until the new cap is reached.”
OMG tvtheinternet I dunno if you got a chance to submit but try this. I haven’t heard back but it’s worth a go!

I JUST BOUGHT TICKETS FOR A MARVEL MOVIE MARATHON. THEY’RE SHOWING ALL 11 MOVIES AND IT’S GOING TO TAKE 26 AND A HALF HOURS. IT’S POSSIBLE THAT I’VE MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE. I’M SO FUCKING EXCITED.
THIS IS AN INSANE AND MAGICAL THING YOU ARE DOING!

Across The Border Pilot
Across The Border Pilot:
Here it is.
For anyone interested.
If anyone is willing to read & provide feedback then you’ll be aces in my book.
My email is aprilagnesnutter /at/ gmail.com or you can inbox me here.
I’m particularly looking for feedback to confirm each character’s voice is distinctive, if the mystery’s resolution feels fully fleshed or rushed, and if you feel there was too much Spanish used.

I am editing already.
Because this script was initially going to be submitted for the Austin Film Festival along with a spec for either Mindy Project or New Girl.
Also I found two mistakes up top because the boy edited it and left dumb things behind.

I promise three things.
1. This is the one and only post I will post about this.
2. This post will be funny.
3. I sometimes only break promises, but never two at once so you do the math.I have a little over 3,000 followers now (welcome to all you new friends!) and some of you may know this, so I apologize in advance to both of you, but I am in a webseries called Classic Alice.
Because the series isn’t produced by NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, Comedy Central, Netflix, Amazon, or any other large corporatey groups, we are crowdfunding to continue the series. Because it’s not produced by Zach Braff, we’re using IndieGoGo.
At this moment, we’re only 51 hours away from our deadline and we’ve raised just under $44,000 of our $60,000 goal. With less time than MacGruber to pull off this crazy plan, we need to find a way to raise $16K. (Contribute here.)
That’s the bad news. The good news is, some anonymous benefactor has promised us $10,000 but only ONLY if we reach $50,000 by Friday. Why is there this arbitrary pre-requisite to their generosity? I don’t know. They’re offering us a lot of money let’s not ask too many probing questions. (Let’s also avoid using the word probing in the future. Gross.)
Point is, we really only need to come up with about $6,000 more by Friday to make our goal.
As I humble-bragged a few paragraphs ago, I have a little more than 3,000 followers here on my tumblob… and I’m asking for your help. If each of you contributed just $2.00 right now, we’d make our goal instantly.
If you’re already convinced, click here to contribute!
If all of you contributed $4, we’d finish the campaign with $66,000! That’s 6,000 extra to make sure we do the best work possible!
If all of you contributed $10, we’d finish the campaign with $84,000! That’s 24,000 over our goal, meaning the actors would possibly be both paid and fed!
And Just for fun…
If all of you contributed $25, we’d finish with $129,000 and we could afford to make the show and also buy a small pre-owned yacht.
If all of you contributed $100, we’d finish with $354,000 and everyone in the cast could each rent, crash, and buy a replacement Mercedes!
And finally, if you all contributed $500, we’d finish with $1,554,000 which is roughly the GDP of most mid-sized New England towns.
We’re just looking for $2. Each. Please. Thank you.
- Chris
