What have you underlined?

How is the reading going? What are your thoughts so far?

Remember, this week we’re reading (if you’re a little behind, it’s totally cool):

  • Character
  • Plot
  • Dialogue
  • Set Design
  • False Starts
  • Plot Treatments
  • How to know when you’re done

Before I post the BIG discussion questions at the end of the week, I want to know…what have you underlined so far? Has anything stuck out? Are you having any aha moments? Let us know below!

Some stuff I have underlined so far:

“I’m the designated typist…” I love the idea of simply being a tool/vessel for the words/story that NEEDS to come out and be in the world

“The writer is creating a dream into which he or she invites the reader, and the dream must be vivid and continuous”

“It’s teatime and all the dolls are at the table. Listen. It’s that simple.”
