• 2007-Aug-3 - July, 2007 update: CS welcomes screenwriter Rinda Mizzelle!

I have been away on assignment, so this month's blog comes to you courtesy of our guest bloggers, Rick Johnson and John Cane.

CS President John Cane talked about his goals for the writing project hat is his brainchild:

"I believe any confusion is cleared now and we are on our way. We had some treatment reads--which went well with some great feedback We will be reviewing the treatments again at the next meeting with more on the way. As well, we will be reading the first three pages of our scripts. The assignment was to only write three--no more."

"We also discussed the importance of constructive feedback and that our group is a safe place to share ideas and to trust each other."

Rick Johnson, web extraordinaire, weighs in on the meeting:

"We silently read the first 18 pages of Rinda's screenplay, a romantic comedy. We dissected it, offered rewrites, little changes, big changes."

A Big CS shout out to Rinda, for sharing her work and writing tips.

THANKS, RINDA!

Also, thanks John and Rick for the recap!
