Francisco Antonio Seguin: Screenwriter, director and editor.

J.L. Johnson
What's your process?

I've never really developed a set process for writing but as I get more and more serious about writing I'd love to develop some personal process to sitting in front my blank Final Draft and pouring out. What are some ways you all prepare for a writing session? Do you go in knowing where the story is...

J. L. You have to make writing a habit. Everyday - even when you don't feel like it. Actor and writer Lauren Graham ("The Gilmore Girls" and "Parenthood" and author of two books) recommends "The Kitch...

Wow this is an old post lol... I would say I'm still personally learning about my own process, but I think I like the idea of outlining/mapping out a story before delving into the actual script pages....

ALL my loglines DISAPPEARED

Does anyone have any idea why all of a sudden your loglines just disappeared? All my loglines disappeared, but I didn't delete them.

Beth, just tried to send you a message. Is the site (Stage 32) still in 'under construction' mode? I haven't received emails to discussions I'm following; can't pull up pictures of people reaching out...

Hi Linda. The site has experienced recent technical issues in the past few weeks, but tech is well aware and is working with the third party vendor and working though each problem, one at a time. S32...

Hi Folks. Just a follow on from my last post...it appears all of my new connections from the last month or two have disappeared due to the last system crash a couple of days ago. This may be the reason why I am not receiving any of your messages.

I have contacted tech support for a fix.

Francisco Antonio Seguin

If anyone on my S32 network is trying to reach me, and has sent a message recently that I haven't responded to I apologise. My messages for the last month have all disappeared, and I don't seem to be receiving anything new.

You can reach me directly on the email address posted on my profile.

Is anyone else having this issue?

*Potential Spoilers* What surprised you?

So, I've heard people say that they were shocked that Bruce Willis was dead in The Sixth Sense, and of course, no one suspected Darth Vader was Luke's father, but what reveal surprised you the most in any film?

Steve Cleary

In "Dumb and Dumber To" Harry really didn't need Lloyd's kidney transplant. Blew my mind.

Eric Christopherson

Rocky lost his first fight!

Would you use these services?

I've seen on some sites people who, for a fee, will write screenplays for you without asking credit(ghostwriting) What do you think about this idea? If you had enough money(the're pretty expensive!) would you use this service, or would you rather write the screenplay yourself?:)

Doug Nelson

Danny - a long life has taught me that money is bot good for everything. We're drifting way off the OP's question. Let's go somewhere else - shall we?

Jeff Lyons

That's how ghostwriting works... you pay a fee, ghost writer doesn't get a credit and in fact they can't even say they worked on the project. Your ghostwriting agreement will always say that. I work f...

Victor:

To answer your original question "would I use a ghostwriter? The answer is hell no! However, there's nothing wrong with someone hiring a ghostwriter. I'm available by the way. God bless capitalism!.

Music

So I've found that when I get stuck in a spot it helps to listen to music that I imagine might be used. Seems to be working since I've been stuck on an ending for a while now and I've almost wrapped it up.

Francisco Antonio Seguin

I've always written to music. In most cases it's often a popular track that inspires a new concept for me. Either the tone of the music or the lyrical theme will help with building my storyline.

Travis Sharp

I not only listen to music, I will also sing to my scripts when I get a little loopy or frustrated. Usually it is "Stay" by Lisa Loeb. "I thought hey I can leave I can leave, but now I know that I was...

So far I've kept it to instrumental music of various types. I wouldn't want to be hearing words while I was thinking of my own if that makes sense.

Thanks for the heads up Michael.

Best time to write is when you're loopy Travis. I firmly believe that hahah

Ey, I'm new here! I'm an indie book publisher who specialized in "taking chances" on new authors. I help authors with every step of the writing process while respecting their ownership of their work. I'd love to explore the possibility of taking some of these stories to the screen. Still exploring this resource, but it looks promising!

Hi Cara. Do you have any stories set in India or which can be adapted to India.

No stories set in India at the moment. If any come my way, I'll be sure to let ou know!
