There's a lot you can learn about serialized tv writing -- and how important "incident" is -- just by reading this timeline of stuff that's happened on This is Us http://www.vulture.com/2018/01/this-is-us-chronological-timeline.html

A lot of people really liked the passengers script (myself included). Nerdwriter has a very interesting take.

If want to write network pilots, you should be reading Ashish's Runway Series every Thursday for the next 4 weeks: http://www.tracking-board.com/the-runway-your-2017-pilot-survival-guide-nbc-dramas/

Testing out the black list. Anyone have a really good experience with the site?

I know someone who got her first job as a staff writer after a successful script posting on that site. In addition to being a talented writer, her script was about something unusual which I think made it easy to talk about and helped brand her and leverage her success. The show she got staffed on was a natural fit with the subject of her screenplay.

So this GASP pitch that Par just bought... it's SEA OF LIFE with the gender reversal in the roles. So why not mention that movie?

If anyone wants to start a 2017 pilots thread in the appropriate place, I'll start posting scripts.

Hey script reading club, let's chat on Sunday about this coming week's script. If you can't make it, just post here.

Has anyone read this years BlackList winner "Blonde Ambition"? Thoughts?
-
It's the script the script reading club this reading this week, though no one's weighed in yet: http://forum.tracking-board.com/index.php?/topic/16264-script-reading-club-blonde-ambition-by-elyse-hollander/ (I haven't gotten around to it yet - biopics almost always bore me. Give me fiction any day, I get enough real life in real life.)

Script reading club has a new spec to read. Blonde Ambition!

The annual Top 25 Films video by David Ehrlich always gets me excited again for movies https://vimeo.com/194508152

Neil Turitz's articles on Tracking Board are genius. I love this guy, and hope he gets more exposure in 2017 for all his excellent work.

Current list of people in the reading group below. Anyone else interested?

I need a logline critique - A man confronts mistakes of his past when his son goes missiong 3 hours before a nuclear bomb drops on his city... Does it make you curious?

Just finished "When the Street Lights Go On." It's beautifully written and a hell of a page turner, but there's a certain thinness to the story. Reminds me of "The Virgin Suicides" in that way (and obviously in other ways too). Still, I'd pay to see it, I think.

I urge everyone to get stuck into the TB Runway pilot reviews. Andrew and Ashish are on fire. Variety and Deadline should snap them up.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a great evening/weekend screenwriting class (film or TV) in LA or NYC that has you finish a draft of something by the end of it?

Does anyone know any good text-to-speech tools that work well with scripts? Would love to be able to listen to them while at work...

Saw The Gift last night. A really good movie. Joel Edgerton most definitely has the chops to be a damn good writer-director...

Free logline idea - THE SLIP-UP - A career criminal who fakes workers comp slip-and-fall injuries finds himself at the mercy of his new apartment complex neighbor, a 12-year-old kid who catches him faking and starts blackmailing him to keep quiet.

story endings with protagonists walking away from camera, resuming an argument or banter or repartee? It seems like a convention (like riding off into sunset), yet I'm stuck for examples.

Just got a letter from AFF that one of my scripts made 2nd round. Felt pretty good after not getting out of the first my last couple of tries.
