The SoCreate Weekly Museletter
Meet the Team TODAY, New Ways to Find a Producer, and a Meet-Cute Challenge Just For You!
Hey, SoCreators!
Now that it’s spring (at least at SoCreate Headquarters!), it’s time for some Spring Cleaning: We’re clearing out excuses for not writing, organizing our days to make more time for working on our scripts, and using this beautiful weather to brainstorm on our outdoor walks. How will you take advantage of the longer days?
We hope this week’s Museletter gives you a boost of creative energy. And, if you’re not a SoCreate member yet, or you just want additional training, consider this your personal invitation to join us TODAY at 12 p.m. PST to see what we’re all about.
Writers using SoCreate tell us they feel more inspired to write and return to their work, and we want that feeling for every writer! Learn more below 👇

Week 12: Let’s Write a Screenplay in 2024!
Welcome to week 12 of "Let's Write a Screenplay in 2024!" We’ve got just 6 weeks left to go until your first draft due date. How is your script coming along?
In the meantime, we’re here to provide a mix of motivation and tough love to keep you focused and inspired.
This week's inspiration is from Pawan Mishra, an award-winning author, producer, and director.
“If you think there is no time to write now, there will never be.” ― Pawan Mishra
No time to write? Maybe not, but you can make time. And if you can’t make time now, be honest with yourself: will you ever make time?
Set aside a recurring time of day to focus on writing, even if it’s just 30 minutes. Put your writing on your list of priorities, and you’ll be amazed at the progress you can make! Not to mention it just feels good to do something productive and do something for yourself.

Location: Inside (INT) – A Classy Bar
Characters: Simone (30s), Clive (30s)
Set the Scene: A swanky bar with moody lighting; waiters in tuxedos and white gloves swirl around chatting guests to deliver martinis, while Simone and Clive sit at opposite ends of a round bar.
Prompt: Simone has been eyeing Clive since she pulled a seat up at the bar. She’s now a couple of martinis in, but Clive still hasn’t noticed her. What does she do to get Clive’s attention, and how does their conversation ensue?
