character on tv: omg I'm a freak, a weirdo, no one wants me, i have no friends, ugh I'm bizarre!
also this character: *young and able, immaculately gorgeous, well-dressed, perfect hair and makeup, multiple decent/awesome relationships, gets paid well enough to live in a nice place and drive a nice car, isn't discriminated against for literally anything, only flaw is they occasionally drink too much and do embarassing things*
Hello! Iāve been (vaguely) talking about my main WIP for a while, and I think itās time to start posting my actual writing, not like out-of-context dialogue! The problem is that Iām still figuring out how to work Tumblr, especially with writing.Ā
I was thinking doing scheduled updates per episode, but that may be varied--it took me two weeks to write the first one, but Iām looking to finish the second in only one half to one week.Ā
And then thereās the issue of actually uploading the scripts. Do I make a blog outside of Tumblr for it? Or do I try to post them on here too?Ā
So Iām just working things out--hello few people who follow me! Hopefully Iāll figure out what Iām doing after I start posting. Experience writeblrs, please reply/reblog with suggestions; Iād appreciate it!
Intro - Meet the Writer
hello! thought iād make a lil intro since iām planning on turning this blog into something.
my nameās arys. iām trans & queer, and i use he/him and they/them pronouns.
i love writing more than anything else in the entire world and itās also my most successful coping mechanism lmao. projecting onto characters is why iām here babey. i started writing shitty fanfic when i was like 12 and now here i am. (i still write shitty fanfic sometimes.)
so, iāve decided to make this blog a writeblr too! dw there will still be shitposts & some politic stuffs & lots of gay shit, but there will also be writer shit now :)
Fast Facts:
i have one published book called āWriting on the Wallsā and you can buy it on amazon (or read it on kindle)! itās new adult/contemporary with major queer themes, found family, & recovery from trauma. (more here.)
my current WIPs are mainly screenplays & TV series because iām super into film/visual storytelling lately, but i also enjoy writing short stories and have a novella in the works!
hereās a nifty little WIP page, and iāll make proper intros to each :)
my fav genres are: contemporary, romance, urban fantasy, dystopian, superhero (is that a genre ??) & new adult but tbh put a queer character in something and iām sold
i also write poetry sometimes !! and i love reading poetry so much aaa
i love music !! indie pop, soft rock, & punk-pop are some of my favs
iām Hopeless Romantic
i love paranormal shit
more about me here

A Beginnerās Screenwriting Exercise
A really easy way to practice screenwriting is to turn short stories into screenplays.
Find a short story, and I mean a shortĀ short story. When youāre practicing on the basics, just getting formatting down, adapting something small is going to be more doable than trying to do something that is 30 pages or more. The shorter piece you can find, the better. Look for vignettes, flash fiction, anything.
The whole point of this, especially for those used to writing fiction, is to get used to the components and limitations of screenplays. When youāre writing fiction, you have lots of ways to show internal conflict. Your characterās thoughts can be present within the narrative.
But screenplays are written completely out of visuals. How do you showĀ that your character is depressed because their mom died? How do you showĀ that a character just got dumped? Sure, you can just have some kind of narration going on overtop the visuals--some movies do this--but letās be real: thatās telling the audience what to think. Thatās lazy screenwriting.
There are lots of movies that can showcase showing instead of telling, but hereās an example from Wes Andersonās movie, Rushmore:
This small scene tells us so muchĀ about Bill Murrayās character. And nobody says a word. Thereās no narration (except for the words of a song playing in the background, but that isnāt telling us how Murrayās character feels). We know how he feels for a lot of reasons. Some of those reasons have to do with shot angles, others have to do with color, body language, nonverbal interactions, action.
But from this scene alone, we can tell that Murrayās character is depressed. We can tell his marriage is dying. His wife is cheating on him. He doesnāt really care anymore. Heās lonely. Heās childish. He doesnāt know what to do about his situation.
In some ways,Ā āshow, donāt tellā works similarly for both written fiction and screenplays/film. You really want strong images in both forms. But writing for film has the added bonus of lacking an internal character voice. So, you have to make up for that with action, with images, with external things that reflect the internal.
So, thatās the challenge. Write a screenplay based on a short story or narrative. Think about the different ways you can inject emotion into a scene. Your screenplay does not have to be exactly word for word, scene for scene the same as your short story.Ā If you want to do it that way, you can. But you can cut things out, add or subtract wherever necessary in order to make the scene efficient. Going from written narrative to film is never 1:1. They are different mediums with different expectations and requirements, different pros and cons. Treat them that way. Experiment with it.
Writeblr Challenge - Day #1
Hi, there! My nameās Justin and Iām new to writeblr (and Tumblr as a whole, really). I primary wrote screenplays before finishing the first draft of my novel last year. I enjoy fiction, categorizing my screenplays as dramedies and novels as YA fantasy. Both often incorporate themes relating to family dynamics, LGBTQ+ issues, supernatural phenomena, and some sort of overarching mystery.
On the list of never-ending WIPs, Iām currently prioritizing these (titles and loglines are also in-progress):
Cryptid: An aimless teen unknowingly follows in the footsteps of his late mother by joining a secret society dedicated to the rescue of cryptids. (~46k words)
Spade: A family must dig themselves out of debt by any means necessary, no matter how taboo, or illegal, it may be. (4 episodes written, follow along here)
Deferred: Follows the interconnecting lives of colleagues at a university admission office, set against the backdrop of deadly campus events (Logline needs work, 1 episode written)
Mutate: Alliances and rivalries ensue as rogue mutants plot the extermination of the human race (~14k words as of today)
When not writing, Iām either playing a video game (i.e. PokĆ©mon, Zelda, any open world or life-sim) or catching up on the latest Bravo franchise. Looking forward to connecting and reading your work!
