Screenwriting Analysis Series: Wednesday – Introduction

Hello, folks!

I'm back with an update on my Screenwriting Analysis Series! A lot of things happened in my personal life, most quite hectic and bad, and in the midst of all that I had to move out from my place. So, unfortunately, I lost the IT: Chapter One script I had analyzed up to its half. I'm still looking for it in my boxes and anywhere I can think of because I don't want to lose that progress.

However, I don't want to keep you waiting any longer. After watching the whole of the Wednesday series and loving it like there's no tomorrow, I chose to analyse the first episode of that show. Plus, the fact that the Addams family are tied to three of my happiest memories says a lot. Hence I decided to analyse the pilot's script first so we'd both have something to analyze and learn from. 🙂

Fortunately, it was easy enough to find now thanks to The Script Lab, which made the pilot script, Wednesday's Child Is Full of Woe, available on their website for free.

As you can see, I already started analyzing Wednesday's pilot. 🙂 It's going well and it's a real pleasure to do.

So, loves, I'll see you soon with the analysis of the pilot script! And as soon as I find the script of IT: Chapter One, it'll be next on the list, promise!

Stay tuned!

How I Use Plottr to Outline My Stories

Introduction

In 2019, I was lucky enough to be one of the first people who knew about Plottr. I was there in 2021 for their big update. And to this day, I still use the software Plottr to outline my stories and series.

What is Plottr?

Plottr is a subscription-based software (now app as well) that allows you to outline both novels and series, as well as to keep track of your characters’ timelines and items, locations, and much more.

You can check it out here.

How do I Use It?

Well, first of all, I found a “trick” to outline any type of stories I want. Screenplay? Sure! Comic book? No problem! Novels? Absolutely!

But how?

Let me tell you something first: When I started using Plottr, I had trouble making sense of how to actually outline the whole book and the characters’ timelines in something cohesive and intuitive directly into the software. But at the same time, I was deep into studying the Save the Cat method for both my screenwriting (Daphné and Philip) and other stories.

You can see where I’m going with this, huh?

So, one day, I figured “Why not?” and began creating “Chapters” with the beats’ names—this way I knew where to head to and which beat to hit next. Then, I created scenes to expand the chapters. I got through a lot of my Rise of a Heroine story like this!

Nowadays, you can purchase the Save the Cat method in Plottr as an add-on. While I do have it, I prefer creating my own. It suits me better and I can tweak it like I want; however, theirs is an excellent resource and/or starting point to customize your own.

I am now outlining the whole series of Rise of a Heroine (you can add covers to the books in your series in Plottr! Neat!), a comic book, and a novella.

Anything is possible!

As long as it’s for plotting and outlining. Otherwise, you might be at the wrong place…

In Conclusion

Plottr is definitely one of my top softwares to work with as an author/writer—and it was right from the start. Sometimes, it just needs a bit of customization to really grasp the tool, but once you do, you’ll get a-plotting with Plottr in no time!

Screenwriting Tip: Fear and How to Beat It

chit-chatting with Cat, screenwriting, Tips October 28, 2022 Leave a comment

Cue Taylor Swift's Anti-Hero song

Yesterday, I was suddenly motivated and determined to keep on writing my short film for the first time in two weeks. When I sat down with an iced coffee in front of my Macbook Air, then page to my Arc Studio Pro's project at the ready, I felt dread blooming and I thought for no apparent reason:

"I see, so that's why I haven't been writing. I still shouldn't write it because I'm afraid–"

And, I shit you not, I immediatly reacted to this thought with:

"Oh noooo, not YOU again!"

The fear!

And then I burst out laughing as I remembered the scene in Swift's music video when she opens the door and sees… herself!

I pictured the same scene with me and my fear, where she waves and smiles at me and says the brilliant lyrics:

"It's me, hi. I'm the problem, it's me."

Because, yeah, she's damn right! My fear is the problem.

My fear of succeeding, of not being good enough (or at all!), of failing, of others' mean critics, of being laughed at, of… You see?

This, this fear, is my problem in writing.

What is yours?

It can be the same as me, or it can be writer's block, lack of self-esteem, deeply-rooted negative opinions of yourself or constant exhaustion…

But if it's the fear, please keep on reading.

I then realized that whatever I'd do, no matter how hard I slammed the door to Fear's face, shouted at her, pulled at my hair, cried myself to a puddle, or–gasps!–listened to her… The Fear would always be there. She'd stay around. Like a nosy someone.

She'd hover over my shoulder, making me feel afraid and doubt myself.

But you know what?

She would win… only if I let her.

I'm the one in control.

I'm the writer.

She's only real if I let her.

Just like a story, and a bad one at that…

And so, what did I do after picturing this scene and laughing?

I took a sip of my iced coffee and kept on writing. And I made progress.

I keep on writing and making progress even now.

Okay, sure, Fear is annoying.

But now I don't let her write my story.

Instead, I suggest you do this when she shows up at your doorstep:

Open the door, and smile
Invite her in calmly
Tell her: you can sit or hover, but I've got writing to do.
Sit down and write.
When she makes you afraid, tell her you know she's there, but she's fictional, too…
Then say, proudly:

"And I'm the writer after all."

I hope this bit of life helps you!

It sure did spur me into action and yes, I do the suggestion I gave you now, and yes, I keep on writing. 🙂

She's not invincible, the fear. She just wants you to think she is.

See you next post, darlings!

A New Blog Post Series – Artists & Writing: Interview with Valentin Romero, Illustrator & Graphic Designer

Artists & Writing, Interviews, My Projects August 4, 2021 Leave a comment

Introduction

Hello, lovely folks!

So, today I bring you a new series of blog posts: Artists & Writing. I want to focus on the artists, to elevate the stunning and inspiring work they do, and to link all kinds of inspiration and art with writing. Because in my own view, writing is art, too.

As for the artists, I welcome all kinds, whether they're illustrators, home interior designers, fashion designers, animators, film producers… I want to expand people's view and understand of art. And to perceive its connection to writing and words and imagination overall.

I hope this series touches you in some way or perhaps inspires you.

My first guest?

Please welcome the amazing illustrator & graphic designer, Valentin Romero! He was kind enough to agree to this interview when I contacted him. I thought he would be a great person and artist to feature on my blog as he seemed to like my idea for this series and he is quite inspiring. His work is just jaw-dropping.

Enjoy the interview, loves!

Mighty Thor / Jane Foster by Valentin Romero, @valentinromeroart, 2021.

Interview with an Artist: Valentin Romero

1- What is your greatest achievement and why?

I remember that my greatest achievement was going to my 1st Convention, it was in 2019. It was in a big city that was about 100 km from my hometown. At the time I was on the other side of the country, due to university, but I was free at the time, so I took a plane there. It was great, I met a lot of my fans, talked to them and more. I had a nice time. Some of my friends came to congratulate me, and family members too. I had many other invitations to other conventions, but due to Covid they were canceled, so it's a shame, but safety comes first so we'll have to wait.

2- How did you come to work on Mortal Kombat, and what exactly was your main task?

It was an incredible opportunity, since I was a kid I played Mortal Kombat so it was a great moment to be able to officially collaborate. Mortal Kombat had collaborated with rapper Megan Thee Stallion, which I adore so it was a great opportunity. Megan was going to do a streaming video playing MK and she had also done a cosplay of the character of Mileena. My task was to design a poster of Megan as Mileena to transmit during streaming. Megan's reaction was so sweet so thanks to Megan and all the Mortal Kombat people who trusted me.

3- When did you start illustrating and graphic design as a hobby, and what attracted you to it?

I started illustrating digitally at the same time that I opened my Instagram account, about 2 years ago. All as a hobby since I recently graduated from high school. What brought me to this world was seeing that there were more possibilities to make art separate from the traditional. Being a cinematographer and artist, the movie posters, the concept art, the effects, the color palettes, etc., caught my attention. So I started using Photoshop from scratch and no one ever taught me anything, it was learning curiosity and investigating each function. Over time I got some digital tablets and that improved my techniques

4- What made you realize art was what you wanted to do as your career?

I was always an artist so more less I always knew that I was going to end up doing something related to art. I am currently studying Graphic Design, they do not teach me things related to programs or Morphology. The market is updating every day so I think the university should do it too. But if I'm honest with you, it would really be a dream come true to be able to play Wiccan in the MCU, I have studied acting apart from design, I am the right age and I am physically perished to the actor Julian who played him in his child version and also in the version adult from comics. Besides being gay, I would love to be able to give an excellent representation in this world of superheroes.

5- What is your professional journey?

My professional career was always based on commissions and these collaborations like Mortal Kombat. My followers ask me to transform them into a character and I love it, it is a good way to get out of the ordinary. I was also in a design studio for a few months learning about machines and it was a good experience.

6- As an illustrator and graphic designer working online as well, do you find it easier to find jobs online or in person, for example via conventions?

In my case, I live in a relatively small city so in person I don't see it as a viable option. The internet has given me more possibilities by having a greater exposure and I am always open to job proposals either in Argentina or abroad. One platform that has served me a lot was LinkedIn and obviously Instagram.

7- What made you choose digital art over traditional art?

I think that what led me to choose digital was the fact of realism. As I told you, I really like posters and photography and being able to combine it with a design software like Photoshop that gives you infinite possibilities is a great advantage. But in the same way I always sketch some ideas before starting a design in photoshop.

8- I watched your videos on your YouTube channel where you transform an actual picture into posters or other versions of the characters. Can you tell us what motivates you to do that and keep improving?

What always motivates me is to continue creating everything I imagine and to be able to give life to projects or ideas that I have in my mind and I would like to see them realized. Also give my followers constant content. But whenever I have a good idea and it motivates me, I put all my attention on making it as perfect as possible. I always practice new techniques "off camera" so I can apply them later. I have to buy better equipment, I always wanted to be a youtuber and have my content, but I don't have to have time to edit. Also as I mentioned I do a lot of practice outside the camera but I would also like to do something more of the lifestyle channel or something like that but I am locked up a lot so I do not know. There are days that I want to do everything and other days I just want to be with myself. But I would really like to do it, really.

9- What does a typical day look like for you as an artist?

Well, as we are in a pandemic there is not much to do, but I live in a relatively small city so we have a little more freedom. I am studying my first year in a virtual way at the university. I do not like it very much since I miss meeting new people or going to campus, so now I take classes 3 times a week via webcam but that alone so the process is quite boring and slow. But since I have most of my free time, I like to draw sketches all day. It is always good to practice. I also play Valorant online, it is a game that I discovered in this pandemic and I love it so I always play. I live 5 minutes away from the Atlantic ocean so I always go by bike for some long walks, on the other side of the city is full of mountains so it is also good to go for a walk. I also take my time every day to respond to comments or messages and check my networks a bit.

10- What advice would you give artists to break into the art world?

Artists who are just starting out in the networks always ask me what advice I could give them, or how I learned, etc. I think the best I can tell you is not to be ashamed to upload your art, out there they think that it is not so good to publish it but not all of us are born learning so there is no need to be ashamed of anything. After consistency is something important, always be practicing to improve and in the long run you will see the results .. And finally, publish what you want, do not pigeonhole into a single topic because otherwise you will get bored quickly.

11- Do you have specific study methods to improve your skills?

I think not, basically I am drawing all day, perfecting anatomy, postures, expressions etc. As for photoshop, I'm always trying new techniques or seeing how I combine my images and bringing my ideas to life. I always keep in mind details like lights, color palettes. The key for me is consistency and daily practice. That's it.

12- What are your favorite learning resources?

I love Pinterest, there are many ideas out there. I took some online courses at Domestika but they were mostly to perfect little things. YouTube always has some advice to implement but I don't like to copy the tutorials exactly as I like to develop my style. My last design class was one given by the designer Gina DeDomenico, she is a conceptual artist and did work for "Titans" "Stargirl" "The Boys" among others

13- Has any book inspired you, or is there any book you found helpful, whether fiction or non-fiction?

I have always read a lot since I was a kid. My dad was always giving me books, some were "Pride and Prejudice" "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" "Martin Fierro" "The Little Prince" "To Kill a Mockingbird" among others. These books always gave me a lot of imagination and opened my mind. Then I started reading the comics and one of the ones I read recently and I liked a lot was "young avengers by gillen & mckelvie" the truth is that I loved that style of illustration too much, along with the colors and the characters so it is one of my marvel favorites.

14- What are your thoughts on the different types of art? Do you feel inspired by movies, tv shows, books, crafting…?

Yes, of course. I find a lot of inspiration in movies, series, music videos, comics, etc. I really like to experiment with textures or colors that I see for example in music videos. Doja Cat is one of the artists who puts the most style in her videos in terms of art, so I really like talking about her videos, for example. I really like "Avengers Assemble" , the animation I liked a lot when I saw it. I also like the simple sketches, I think that not everything has to be complex to be beautiful. I love crafting, I used to make bracelets when I was 14 I remember with some rubber bands in school.

15- Do you think an art type can feed the other art types and vice versa? How does this affect you?

I think so. For example, I'm a lot of sketching poses, faces, costumes all day, and then I like to use markers to finish that drawing. I do this many times before starting a piece in digital. Since I don't like doing sketches in digital so much, I got used to pencil and paper. So I am always combining these techniques in my creative process. I also took painting classes for 3 years and I really like it, so it helped me a lot with environments and painting techniques, some of them I apply in digital with some digital brushes, maybe for environment, clothes, skin texture, etc.

Valentin Romero

As a final word, I really hope you enjoyed this exclusive interview with this incredible and friendly artist. He was a joy to work with! If you'd like to be featured on my blog as an artist, please do reach me at catherinegv.writertranslator@gmail.com with an example and description of what you do! If you're not an artist in a "traditionally known way" (such as architects, and so on) but think it might count as art, I highly encourage you to contact me as well so we can discuss your idea! I think the more art types are known, the better we'll be for it.

Let's spread art, woohoo!

Thank you for being with me on this adventure, darlings, and see you next post!

Announcing My Screenwriting Analysis Series! (TV Shows & Movies)

chit-chatting with Cat, screenwriting, Screenwriting Analysis July 5, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello hello, folks!

I'm putting together a screenplay, movie, tv show pilot and script analysis series. Why? As a script reader, and future professional screenwriter (you can read my Daphné scene here and my Philip scene there), I thought this would not only serve as an immensely rich training ground for me and you, but also as quite an interesting way to look at movies, TV shows and stories we love and the screenwriting at work behind it!

Now, what will I cover? In all cases, I will go through the characterization & relationships, the logic, the flow, my overall Impression, my thoughts & what I learned. Depending on whether it's the script, the movie/TV show, or the beat sheet, I will also tackle the format, the cinematographic techniques, the acts, and more. Plus, if the movie/TV show is based on a book or on a series of books, I will add a post that compares the movie/TV show to the book(s) while covering their dialogue, descriptions, characterization & relationships, divergences, techniques, structure & beats.

As for each collection of posts (by collection I mean "each series of blog posts pertaining to one specific story"), here is the order:

Script analysis
Movie/TV show pilot analysis
Beats analysis
Movie/TV show VS book (if that's the case)

So, you can expect at least three posts for each story, with the occasional fourth post.

As for my first analysis, we'll send the balloon floating with:

IT: Chapter One

I can't wait to share this new blog post series with you! I hope to see you there so we can learn together about screenwriting. 😀

Stay tuned for more in a few weeks with my very first script analysis!

OF COURSE, Eddie Kaspbrak and Richie Tozier are my favorites!)

TV Show Scene Excerpt – Philip at the Restaurant

chit-chatting with Cat, My Projects, screenwriting April 10, 2021 Leave a comment

Hi, loves!

I've continued writing my TV show, and I managed to finish Philip's exercise scene I mentioned in Daphné's scene. Hopefully, you will connect with Philip and his quirky but loving personality.

Who is my faceclaim for dear Philip Grayson? The amazing Cameron Monaghan, ladies, gents, and all other folks! Yes, in my head, my Philip is a redhead ^.^.

This GIF of his is my favorite because it's perfect display of my Philip's whole kind yet unstable attitude, vibe, and energy:

Being “friends with benefits” with Mason Ashford...

Here's my scene for Philip at the restaurant (happy reading!):

INT. FANCY RESTAURANT – NIGHT

Philip sits at a small round table. He adjusts his proper jacket and looks around the restaurant in a calm, poised manner. He takes it all in. He taps with his index on the table without noticing it, and watches the waiters and waitresses giving and taking orders, all bustling around him.

WAITER

Hello, Sir. Can I offer you wine and appetizers?

Philip startles as he looks at the waiter to his right. He chuckles and smiles with a characteristic warmth and kindness.

PHILIP

Absolutely. A bottle of red wine, your best, and bruschetti, please.

WAITER

Are you waiting for someone?

Philip glances at his polished shoes, then smiles shyly.

PHILIP

Yeah. I'll wait before ordering, if you don't mind.

WAITER

Not at all, Sir.

The waiter nods and leans closer. Philip straightens up, puzzled.

WAITER

May I suggest the baked fish with lemon cream sauce?

Philip stares into the waiter's mischievous eyes, awaiting an answer to his unspoken question.

WAITER

It serves wonders to impress the ladies…

Philip bursts out laughing nervously. He shakes his head and looks at the waiter.

PHILIP

Who says I'm waiting for a lady? It could be a man. You're not bad either yourself…

WAITER

(grins)

Thank you, Sir. I return the compliment. But with your behaviour and proper clothes, you're clearly looking to please.

Philip smiles and cocks his head, flirty. His smile turns into a grimace.

PHILIP

(whispers)

Don't we all?

WAITER

Actually, no. Still, I suggest the baked fish with lemon cream sauce, it's astounding.

The waiter winks at Philip and walks away. Philip watches him go as if in a daze. The restaurant doorbell tinks, but Philip keeps staring before him. Daphné lowers her head in his field of vision, smiling.

DAPHNÉ

Hi, Phil. You look superb.

Philip opens wide eyes and grin. He jumps to his feet and opens the chair for her across from him.

PHILIP

I'm nothing compared to you, Daph. Look at yourself!

Philip gestures at her gorgeous red dress and elegant hairstyle. Daphné giggles and puts a lock of hair behind her ears before sitting down. Philip helps her, then takes back his seat.

DAPHNÉ

Have you ordered?

Philip bites his lower lip as he observes her, a loving look in his eyes.

PHILIP

No, I was waiting for you.

DAPHNÉ

Oh, you shouldn't have. You know what I like, so…

PHILIP

I'd wait eons for you, so a few minutes isn't a problem.

Daphné grins, then clears her throat.

DAPHNÉ

Thanks for taking me here. We travel so much, yet such places seem… out of reach.

Philip nods, undisclosed emotions battling on his features.

PHILIP

What are best friends for, huh?

Daphné laughs.

DAPHNÉ

You're the best!

PHILIP

I try to please.

Philip opens wide eyes and his smile falls as he realizes what he's just said.

WAITER

I see your guest has arrived. May I take your order now?

Daphné gasps, turning her head to the waiter. Philip startles again before chuckling.

PHILIP

You're magic, man… Sure.

Philip glances at Daphné, who looks at him with a fond smile. Philip breathes deeply, straightening up with confidence and pride.

PHILIP

I'll take the maple glazed salmon with rice, and she'll take the baked fish with lemon cream sauce.

Daphné fakes shock as he orders for her, but she looks pleased he knows what to order to please her. The waiter raises an eyebrow at Philip, then smirks.

WAITER

You've made the right choice, Sir.

A mutual understanding passes between the two men that the choice applies to Daphné.

WAITER

I'll come back with your wine and appetizers.

PHILIP

Thank you.

The waiter leaves. Philip turns back to Daphné, proud. Daphné laughs and shakes her head.

DAPHNÉ

I don't know how you'll pay for all this… Let me help.

PHILIP

No. I saved, that's all. I'm treating you to something better for once.

DAPHNÉ

Why? You don't have to.

Philip looks awkward and vulnerable.

PHILIP

For a change… Because you deserve the best.

Daphné lets out an appreciative sound and looks around them. She then leans over the table and nudges him roughly on the shoulder. Philip laughs.

DAPHNÉ

Thanks, this is nice.

Philip winks at her. The waiter comes back and puts down the wine glasses and the bottle before them as well as appetizers, then leaves again. Philip picks up the bottle and pours Daphné and himself some wine.

PHILIP

(picks up his glass)

To us.

DAPHNÉ

Always us.

They grin at each other and clink their glasses on their promise.

(Don't you just get he yearns to say this to Daphné? ;))

Did you like it? I rather love the distinct format for screenwriting? What do you think of Philip? Did you like him? What about Daphné? Or their friendship?

I've got a lovely story about this character and a hint about what's to come in the TV show: When I first thought of the show, I'd just watched the episode of Gotham in which we see Jerome (played by Cameron Monaghan) for the first time. So, when I imagined my own Philip, I swear he always came with that faceclaim and no matter how hard I tried to change it to see if others would fit best, this face stuck. But I'm okay with this! Philip was my favorite of the two main characters from the get-go. He is kind, unstable, gentle, intense in love (this will cause and sustain the plot), smart, and caring. He brought in the basis of the show: his and Daphné's relationship which grows from deep friendship to something profoundly more complicated. He's not what I'd call a villain per se, but he sure raises the stakes in more ways than one.

If you have any questions or comments for me about screenwriting, this scene or Philip, please leave comments or contact me on Twitter at @CatGV6 or by email! I'll be so glad to discuss this with you.

See you next post, lovelies! I intend on writing a fun and emotional scene of them texting and facetiming with each other. Stay tuned for more!

Ciao!

TV Show Introduction & Scene Excerpt – Daphné at the Restaurant

chit-chatting with Cat, My Projects, screenwriting February 28, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello, folks!

So, I've told you a year ago how I started screenwriting. I love it! While I paused the writing of my movie, I'm having a blast writing my TV show, The Carousel! I took three screenwriting courses, including one last month for a TV show pilot and it was not only extremely enjoyable but also very informative (which I'll tell you about in another post as a review). As an exercise in the last course, I had to write a scene where my protagonist went to a restaurant alone. Since I have two protagonists, Daphné and Philip, I decided to write two scenes.

Thus, I am sharing the scene with Daphné so you can get a taste of my screenwriting and connect with her (hopefully).

My face claim for Daphné Vegas? Camila Cabello, ladies, gents, and all other folks!

I particularly love this GIF because, as you'll see in the scene, this is the perfect display of my Daphné's whole attitude, vibe, and energy:

So, here is my scene for Daphné at the restaurant (enjoy!):

DAPHNÉ

You sure you're not coming?

Daphné walks into the diner, speaking on the cellphone. She looks around her.

DAPHNÉ

No, it's fine. Another time. See you tonight, Phil.

Daphné hangs up and puts the phone away in her black leather jacket. She licks her lips and goes to the counter to order. She stands straight and proud, her short boots tapping the tiled floor.

DAPHNÉ

Hello, I'd like a–

The foreign man behind the counter lifts a finger to silence her as he finishes writing down on a receipt. Daphné snaps her head backward, offended, and scoffs as she crosses her arms over her chest.

CASHIER

(smiles)

What'd you say?

DAPHNÉ

(opens wide eyes)

Nothing, I couldn't finish.

Silence. The cashier nods slowly but still smiles at her. Daphné relents and uncrosses her arms, gently tapping her boot on the floor.

DAPHNÉ

I mean: I'll take a hamburger with mustard, onions, tomatoes, and salad, please. Add a root beer. No take-out. Thanks.

The cashier nods, writes down the order on an old receipt. With a wink, he turns and gives the paper to an Arab woman who cooks the order. Daphné waits, looking curiously at the several pictures from their home country.

CASHIER

Here. 9.76$ please.

He smiles at her and opens his palm. Daphné forces a smile and takes out a debit card. The cashier's smile vanishes. Daphné raises an eyebrow and keeps the card up in mid-air.

DAPHNÉ

You take debit, right?

CASHIER

(serious)

Yes.

The cashier hands her the debit machine roughly. Daphné exhales loudly by the nose and slides her card. She gives the machine back with a glare, then picks up her tray and goes to sit at the farthest table, near the bay window.

Daphné eats for a while as she watches calmly passers-by and other customers come in. When she's done, she stands up and gazes at the tray questioningly. She gives in and takes it to the counter. When she reaches the door, the cashier calls out to her.

CASHIER

(curt nod)

See you next time!

DAPHNÉ

(grimaces)

No lo creo, nah… Adiós.

She smiles sarcastically and waves at him. Then, she whirls around and leaves quickly.

Did you like it? I rather love the distinct format for screenwriting? What do you think of Daphné? Did you like her?

I've got a funny story about her strong character: While I loved her, I couldn't really grasp her whole personality unlike Philip (her childhood best friend). I thought she was the calm and peaceful one, but writing this scene, I realized she was the one with the loud mouth and ready retorts. Haha, I laughed so hard! So, Philip is the calm and polite one. They both surprised me (mostly Daphné!). In the end, thanks to this exercise, I fell in love with Daphné even more deeply, and now I got a good grasp on her.

If you have any questions or comments for me about screenwriting, this scene or Daphné, please leave comments or contact me on Twitter at @CatGV6 or by email! I'll be so glad to discuss this with you.

See you next post, lovelies! I'll come back with the scene for Philip!

Ciao!
