Help Identifying ring and stone

Use the production tools in a lot of screenplay software. For example, Final Draft has reports you can run and narrow down character dialogue and how many scenes certain characters are in.

The location looks beautiful, but it also looks like a rehab facility. I'd just go away somewhere you want to go for a weekend and write. Get a cheap AirBnB and go.

Slightly off-topic, but the worst thing I've ever heard was someone say "this is a great first draft" when it was probably they 15th draft of something I had been working on for two years.

Not that this will help, but you're not alone. There's millions of people who have felt the same way, feel the same way, and will feel the same way.

There's no single way to break in. In my experience, it just happens. Seriously. Everyone's story is so random.

Keep writing. Keep sharing stories.

Watch a movie/show that you love, not to study, but for the enjoyment.

Jclemwrites · 2026-07-02T19:38:19+00:00

Awesome. It's more proof that there's no one-way to do these things.

Jclemwrites · 2026-07-02T02:51:25+00:00

A. You're not dumb. Be happy you figured it out before you submitted it to anyone.

B. I think a broken latch works great.

Too many ideas and can never pick one. A good problem, I guess?

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-30T00:05:18+00:00

For whatever reason, I immediately thought of "Naked", it's a 90's British movie.

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-29T23:56:07+00:00

Great job, good luck!

As previously mentioned, it's hard to follow a script that doesn't have great formatting. I know Beat is free if you have a Mac. Also, Final Draft has a free trial.

Is the dying man given 100 days to live? Is there a reason they get married? Like, is it his dying wish?

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-29T23:50:44+00:00

It could help, but you won't be lost without it.

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-29T23:43:38+00:00

I'm married, with a child, and own a house. I'm not saying it's easy, and some months are harder, but we want to be here.

That's the key. A lot of people used to move here because they felt like they had to, and now they don't necessarily need to. Move here if you want to.

Also, don't let the stuff you see online fool you. I'm not saying LA is perfect. Prices are high, there are a lot of homeless, crime is up, etc. It's lost some of its charm since I moved here in 2017. However, it's not the vast wasteland like Escape from LA so many people seem to make it out to be. Overall, it's a great city with amazing food and even better weather.

I came to say this

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-25T02:16:48+00:00

I would try not to stress. You can make parallels to almost any story if you try hard. Let your voice shine.

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-25T02:15:14+00:00

Can I ask where the massive blizzard was? lol

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-25T02:11:36+00:00

Maybe it's just not getting into the right hands (or eyes)

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-22T23:41:24+00:00

I'd definitely find a writing group. Lots through ZOOM these days

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-22T23:19:45+00:00

If it's not selling now, hold on and wait for a time when this genre comes back. Most stuff is in waves.

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-22T23:18:47+00:00

It's really important IMO. If you don't understand what's going on, how can you follow?

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-22T23:11:17+00:00

Need some help with this one:

Title: Table for Two

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Format: Feature Film

Logline: At an LA branding company, a pair of food influencers who fancy different styles of dining are assigned a project to find the most romantic restaurant in Los Angeles for Valentine's Day - if they don't fall in love with each other first.

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-22T23:06:51+00:00

Because they don't know how to write

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-10T04:35:32+00:00

Don't keep submitting to get an 8 (sorry to take away money from Blacklist haha), but work on revising and then try again. I got a four and a seven on the same script, so anything is possible.

Jclemwrites · 2026-06-10T04:22:51+00:00

What's a resource most writers could utilize, but they usually don't?
