New Writers Find That Screenwriter Tools Can Help With Writers Block

By Stephanie Ellis


Going after personal aspirations is the only way these can become a reality. While having a regular job does make having the basic necessities easy, a person knows what is in their heart. They have a story they want to share with the world but sometimes getting and staying on that road is not always easy. Especially when it comes to creating a manuscript that is marketable. Most find screenwriter tools to be good for continuity and to keep the creative juices flowing.

While there are many helpers to be found online or in a book, a person needs to choose a book that helps them reinforce weak areas. With new writers, these can be in the character, dialogue, or setting. It may not be easy to spot early in the game, there are many inexpensive resources that can help pinpoint small details that prevent a script from getting sold.

These tools, like writing prompts or character analysis, are ideal for busy people. Those who find themselves jotting down manuscripts notes whenever they have time can get creative. They will use whatever medium they can get their hands on the fastest.

Writers tend to visualize things in their head first and put it down as words that string together in a uniform fashion. Along the way, they will see areas that may be enhanced to bring conflict or a surprise twist to a scene. While they can spend an entire day adding and subtracting different elements, they can still be missing things like the character voice, setting details, or transitioning that does not leave the reader lost.

These things are common with new writers who have had little or no formal instruction. If one were to look at many modern authors and screenwriters, they will find that many had careers unrelated to writing. These people had to deal with rejection but found ways to make their works marketable while maintaining a life.

This includes dealing with writers block. It is often hard to pinpoint when it will affect productivity but sometimes writers that choose to not use prompts may leave a manuscript for months, if not years. While this sounds scary because of the time lost, it is a reality for wordsmiths of various genres and levels.

Because bouncing back can be difficult in any situation, it helps to remain open from the start. If seeing someone who critiques manuscripts is not possible, it helps to have some arsenal handy. In addition to having a couple of online or hard copy tools, some find positive energy when they join live or online writers groups.

When starting out, it helps to choose resources that are most likely to pay for themselves early in the game. While some free writing helpers may be too general or lack the depth needed, there is no reason for a novice to spend a fortune. If they have a story idea that is unique, the best measure is to accept criticism with an open mind and follow through quickly so that a marketable manuscript will result.
