I am half way through a book entitled; ‘Talk the Talk: A dialogue Workshop for Scriptwriters’ by Penny Penniston. I picked it up off of amazon not to long ago and so far it is pretty interesting. One of the things I have had a major problem with in my screen play is dialogue, and as far as I am concerned it is the most difficult thing to write. The book has excersizes that are focused on helping you understand dialogue, and some of them are kind of intrusive (lasting for weeks sometimes.) and others are simple things that can be done alone. The most helpful thing so far is punctuation in dialogue.

I am a little upset with myself, I had promised that I would have a first draft of my Fringe episode done today, but alas I could not even start it today, as I was tied up with interviews with Apple all day.

Oh and if anyone wants to check out a cool face book page, look up the Nicholl fellowships. It’s actually pretty neat, people from all over the place posting on the wall, all writers, and some of them post some pretty helpful things.

That’s all for now hopefully I will have a new screen play by tomorrow.
