Screenwriting Group Update
Our Phoenix Screenwriters Connection meetup group is going pretty good. Writing is a lonely profession if you don’t have a co-writer or team of writers - most of us don’t. So, going to the screenwriting group meetings is a nice way to connect with fellow writers and talk. This month we did several table reads - all really very good - in my opinion … lots of interesting ideas and concepts. We talked about our works in progress and hopefully inspired each other to move forward … writing!
One of our members gave me a great idea about expanding on my short screenplay, Metal Detecting. He said that I should expand the script to a feature by making the detective the lead character. I had never thought of that - both expanding it and moving the main character to the detective. If I hadn’t connected with these writers, I would have never gotten that feedback or idea.
