A script? That is the eternal question for writers. At least it is for some, but not for me. (Well, maybe the real eternal question is how do I get paid to write, but we'll leave that for another day.) Because I am the kind of chick who needs a plan, outlines are always the foundations of my projects, especially when.You can find in many places, but implementing them is another story.
The first step is to breathe. You are not alone. Many writers struggle with starting projects, myself included. So let's explore some options in hopes you'll find one that works best for you.
John Truby’s screenwriting courses and software are a staple of screenwriting classes worldwide. His book, presents his “Twenty-Two Building Blocks” plot structure is a classic.
I purchased one of his first video writing courses mumblety-mumblety years ago when I was writing comedy and spent a lot of time in L.A. Truby combines the mythic story structure of Joseph Campbell (used for such blockbusters as “Star Wars”) with some original expansion to create his twenty-two building blocks. The overall structure is loosely follows the three-act format.A key concept of Truby’s technique is that plot is what the Character does while the Character is defined by his actions. Essentially, the plotline is the result of the Hero’s (Protagonist’s) actions movtivated by his internal need and an external desire or goal. It’s the classic story structure and in his works, Truby applies his structure to a number of successful classic films (keep in mind Truby has always focused on screenwriting, however, his techniques are the same ones used by blockbuster and enduring novelist as well). Sorry for the delay in replying.
I’ve been offline hiking in the Olympic National Park and out of touch.The 22 Plot Building Blocks were Trudy’s original concept and course. He has since simplified it (and to certain extent dumbed it down) to the 7 steps. I found it interesting to read both.

The shorter version also makes it possible for him to teach shorter workshops in various cities. Whichever one works for you is good. I have a friend who started with the 7 steps and then went on to read and use the more in depth plot analysis method of the 22 building blocks (steps).Thanks for stopping. I should have some new material adding very soon.
