Writing freely involves an efficient combination of a number of key skills, but  most books and writing classes concentrate on only a very few of them. 

This enjoyable and invigorating workshop begins by looking at the full range of skills you will need as a fluent and professional screenwriter for cinema or TV, and then moves on to give you some simple yet stimulating exercises to get your mental writing muscles working to their full potential.

You will explore the psychology of writing: the seven main reasons why a writer might get blocked and how to deal with them. Each of these seven blocks can be seen as a problem, or you can see them as seven new paths that can lift your writing to a new and enriching level of expertise.

You will practise using a number of different tools to enliven and deepen your writing, and stimulate your creativity when you most need it.

You wil play with internal sense representations, subtext, status relationships and genre and finish by developing a practical schedule which will allow you to write your first draft in record time, giving you a script that is full of energy, colour and imagination.
