You Got Close To Page 60 But... In general, there are many reasons why you "Lost it in the Second Act." This class focuses on the major issues that arise. Here are just a few that will be covered:
"Rated BEST online Screenwriting Class" by Screenwriter's Monthly Magazine! ISP is designed to offer maximum exposure for your screenplay. It's not writer's block, but second act issues that effect your ability to finish your screenplay! The instructor will provide proven strategies for second act success. There are several things that can be picked up on early in the writing process that will spell disaster as you try to punch through the second act and still maintain narrative trajectory. This is an 8-week program from start to finish and includes script evaluation (second act emphasis), rewriting, live instruction and training, and online readings. You will receive analysis, and a private Conference Call with instructor!. After working out your "Second Act Plan" with Chris, you will then have 4-6 weeks to perform rewrites all the while remaining in constant communication with instructor as you work on your script. There will be 4 evening Conference Calls with your instruction and classmates to discuss issues you are experiencing, gain mutual support, and ask your instructor specific questions. What you need to know: Who should take this class? Anyone who has one or more screenplays they can't seem to finish; feels their completed screenplay is missing something, and/or feels overwhelmed after only 30+ pages of writing. You do not need a finished screenplay to take this ISP! You will talk LIVE with your instructor and classmates on the phone in exciting, stimulating and interactive sessions!

Do classes meet?Classes don't meet in the traditional sense. You will participate online for parts of the class - except for Office Hours (noted above near top) - on your own time. Each "class" continues for the entire month. How do I communicate with the instructor and my classmates?Via LIVE chat sessions with your instructor and your classmates in the Chat Room, which we call Office Hours. During Office Hours the instructor will make a brief presentation, discuss assignments, and then you and your fellow students can ask questions, discuss the assignments or lectures, and anything else that pertains to the class. You'll also be communicating with your instructor and
classmates in the interactive Forums where you can post about
the lectures, assignments, ask questions, make comments, anything! And your
instructor will be checking in on the forum regularly to answer your
questions and add their own two cents when necessary. How do I get feedback from my instructor? Will this be an interactive class?Yes. Your instructor gives you a deadline for posting your work in the Homework Forum. Students and instructor read your work and post comments under your name on the forum. You can go to the forum as often as you like to read instructor and class discussions, post your own comments, or get class updates. In turn, you also will read your fellow students' work and post comments under their name on the forum. We encourage you to read the instructor's comments on all of your classmates' work, since that will help you develop a critical eye. Reading and commenting on each other's work is one of the most critical keys to success in our eClasses. If I miss an instructor's Office Hours, is there a way to find out what I missed?Yes! You can read a transcript of all Chat Room discussions by viewing the Chat Room log. It's already into the month I wish to take the class, can I still take it?
