The call for entries got me thinking that script writers should keep journals, too. Where else can you collect snippets of overheard conversation, inspirational movie lines, characterisation work, movie plot ideas, movie/script analysis, scene ideas and visual tags? I’ve been searching for more info online, but haven’t found much to help in this area. If you’re a script writer and use a journal to help you with your work, please leave a comment or link to anything relevant to this topic.

Even if you can’t enter this competition you might want to try your hand at a script in your journal or even a monologue. The idea may bring a new perspective to some part of your life you’ve been overlooking.
