Christine Autrand Mitchell: March 2011
http://christineautrandmitchell.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Without air, there is no life here; without words, nothing sustained. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. An Update on Submissions. So, Linda S's blog had a breakdown of how many agents she queried, how many responded versus rejected her, how many asked for her manuscript. etc., before she was accepted. Her limit was 100 and she reached 83. I'm practically a virgin then! Making certain the letter is specific to that ONE agent, fiddling with the synopsis and bio every time, and so on. Have I learned anything? 3 Reje...

Christine Autrand Mitchell: What I learned at the WD West Conference
http://christineautrandmitchell.blogspot.com/2012/10/what-i-learned-at-wd-west-conference.html
Without air, there is no life here; without words, nothing sustained. Monday, October 22, 2012. What I learned at the WD West Conference. I attended the Writers Digest West Conference at the Loew's in Hollywood on Saturday. Since two conferences were going on simultaneously, the Screenwriters and the (non-screen) Writers, it was a terribly difficult decision on which conference to attend. Since things are (presently) moving along on The Cullings Principle. Screenplay, I opted for the novel writing. Since...

Christine Autrand Mitchell: On Attending Film Festivals
http://christineautrandmitchell.blogspot.com/2012/05/on-attending-film-festivals.html
Without air, there is no life here; without words, nothing sustained. Tuesday, May 15, 2012. On Attending Film Festivals. My friend and fellow screenwriter Denise Landau wrote me this about what she felt she learned from our most recent visit to a film festival - into which our scripts made it into the finals (festival shall remain unnamed):. It's a drag when Delta loses your baggage. Gorgeous, young actresses do not have time for the likes of me. A lot of people get sloshed at after parties. Showing a c...

Christine Autrand Mitchell: On Screenwriting...
http://christineautrandmitchell.blogspot.com/2012/03/on-screenwriting.html
Without air, there is no life here; without words, nothing sustained. Tuesday, March 13, 2012. I've started a series for Three Lines of Less on the "Making Your Screenplay Unforgettable." Here is the first article: Making Minor Characters Count. Let me know your thoughts! No, really. Was it helpful? I have a short story coming up soon as well, will post that when it's up. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The words that flow into me and out of me - these give me nourishment so that I may flourish.

Christine Autrand Mitchell: December 2011
http://christineautrandmitchell.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Without air, there is no life here; without words, nothing sustained. Friday, December 16, 2011. The Writing of THE CULLINGS PRINCIPLE - Part I. Over the summer I wrote a new full length screenplay - an adaption of my own novel. Why? It's absolutely fascinating to me to how a novel must differ from a screenplay, and from a play. If the same story is written as three different manuscripts (novel, screenplay, play), one ends up with three different stories on a theme. And the title, it changes as well.

Christine Autrand Mitchell: September 2012
http://christineautrandmitchell.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Without air, there is no life here; without words, nothing sustained. Saturday, September 8, 2012. Critique Groups and Evolution. I write articles about the craft of screenwriting. I'm newly discovering how frustrating presenting early drafts can be. The dynamic between presenting something new versus something you've worked on for a while is shockingly diverse. (I've been bringing projects to groups that have been at the final stages - meaning that they've been through many edits and have in som...If yo...

Christine Autrand Mitchell: October 2012
http://christineautrandmitchell.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Without air, there is no life here; without words, nothing sustained. Wednesday, October 31, 2012. I think we can all agree that we should continually be learning. I'm a writer, so I'm always eager to improve my craft. I write screenplays, novels, articles, copy, technical, all kinds of things. But, I also need to expand this growth with learning about how I learn best and how I progress in my writing. With a few recent changes to routine, I'm once again taking note. If I'm one of the folks who is a litt...

Christine Autrand Mitchell: April 2011
http://christineautrandmitchell.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Without air, there is no life here; without words, nothing sustained. Friday, April 29, 2011. An Update on Submissions - Part 2. I know there are a lot of you out there who can. It took weeks to muster enough courage to track it on the USPS website and now I know exactly when it arrived. Sounds silly, right? Not if you've been there. I find I think about it the way I think about my kids (all other cliches put aside) - where is it now, what is it doing, is she reading it, is it still in a box? Ah, yes, it...

Christine Autrand Mitchell: The Writing of THE CULLINGS PRINCIPLE - Part 2
http://christineautrandmitchell.blogspot.com/2012/01/writing-of-cullings-principle-part-2.html
Without air, there is no life here; without words, nothing sustained. Monday, January 30, 2012. The Writing of THE CULLINGS PRINCIPLE - Part 2. For a quick update on the script now. Since several more contests have announced and I've put the script up on a few more sites (including Inktip.com and Stage32.com), things are still rolling forward. One Producer has asked for the treatment so far, so I'm thrilled to see things moving - in any direction but back is great! Thanks for all of your support!
