The Script Kitchen is designed to give our students the most attention possible in a weekly 3-hour class. (We meet for 6 weeks.)<br /><br />It works because we limit each class to seven students, who deliver their rewrites, as PDFs, to Tara & me at least 24hrs before each class. Then we email the rewrites to the other students, who are responsible for reading them on their own time. That way, nobody reads their works aloud in class: when we meet, everybody's already read each other's rewrites & we can dive into problems of structure, timing, character &c.<br /><br />Home-reading becomes even more important with full-prose works (stories, novels, memoirs), because of the bulk of material. But the same fundamentals which scripts require obtain in prose works. Sometimes, individual consultations are a good alternative to guide prose writers. Tara &/or I are available for individual guidance, at separate rates.<br /><br />On another note, I gotta learn to sit up straight …John Sandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149954535616537207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-85574793598458985602013-01-08T09:56:40.539-08:002013-01-08T09:56:40.539-08:00If only I was in the area, I would love to take in...If only I was in the area, I would love to take instruction from you guys.JHLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17428145074574789457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-77639708121200570832013-01-08T09:46:47.613-08:002013-01-08T09:46:47.613-08:00KBF, this may be a good indicator of how different...KBF, this may be a good indicator of how different the many computer screens are.
