Chase McFadden: Screenwriter in Sheridan, Wyoming.

November is upon us, fellow scribes. So ready those coffee pots. Pull up those ergonomic chairs. It’s time to get writing!

For the past two years, we’ve had hundreds of participants join in, get motivated, get involved, inspire others, and complete projects. We all know life can get in the way, sure. But if we’re being totally honest with ourselves, we also know we often get in our own way. We procrastinate, get frustrated, lose focus, or lose sight of our goals. It’s not so much the writing part that’s difficult, but rather it is difficult to sit down and do the work. So in November we rally together, share a collective mission, and support each other in our individual efforts. Sometimes it takes a village to get those scripts written. And for a third year, we hope to do just that.


The rules of Write Club are simple: Beginning on the first of the month, we’ll use the 30 days of November as a personal deadline for whatever project you are working on—be it a first draft, a rewrite, a pitch, a short, a feature, or a TV pilot. Whatever “it” is for you. There are no parameters other than what you choose to accomplish within the month of November. We’ll support, inspire, and cheer each other on throughout our 30-day endeavors. And. Get. It. Done. 



This is not a competition. This is not a win/lose thing. No word count. No page count. No comparing against one another. Nope.

This exercise is about pushing forward. This exercise is about encouraging each other to reach individual goals.

In the weeks ahead, we’ll share our highs and lows in this ongoing Screenwriting Lounge thread, and share our progress in the weekly November Write Club check-in blogs every Wednesday.

Remember participation is key. You must check in and report your progress, and participate by supporting and encouraging others all month long.

After our 30 days, we’ll take our celebratory “victory lap” by listing Write Club participants’ November project loglines. And like previous years, there’ll be a well-earned “gift” at the end, an extended push forward with whatever step may be next for you.

So whaddaya say? You in?

Hello, all. My name is Chase and I am a writer in Sheridan, Wyoming. Currently, I am working on my first feature screenplay titled Well, a coming-of-age drama set in 1980s Wyoming. I am also writing a short script titled Lariat which is set in Wyoming, as well. I have no experience nor background with film, but I do have confidence in my voice. Looking forward to connecting with others who are hungry, hard-working and ready to take leaps!

Hi Chase. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
