You can see what D.B. Gilles thinks about unfulfilled scriptwriters in his essay on writer’s block, “The Short Attention Span Screenwriter”
Okay, so you’ve been kicking that screenplay idea around for a while. But what are you going to do to finish it?
The folks at Mediabistro feel your angst. That’s why they’ve set up a 12-week course to be taught by D.B. Gilles, a teacher (NYU film) and writer (The Screenwriter Within) who thinks he knows what ails you (see link above). With classes running three hours a week, it’s a pretty reasonable tab at $610 ($575 for Mediabistro members).
The course—to be taught somewhere in mid-town—aims at pushing intermediate to advanced writers to finish a project in this “intense” workshop by teaching a sound, traditional approach: “The three-act structure of screenwriting,” “How to enhance your storytelling abilities and create more drama in every scene”, “How to format and structure your screenplay”…you get the idea.
