How Social Media Makes You Fearless
Every once in a while you find a gem of an article on Twitter. Today, actor Wonder Russell wrote a fantastic piece called “FEAR“. It’s a post everyone should read and live by.
If you aren’t on Twitter, you really should be. It’s not just a place to connect with other like minds, it’s also a place to learn.
Follow @ScriptMag, @GoIntoTheStory, and @johnaugust to start. If you have favorite Twitter people you follow, add them to the comments!
In fact, when you tweet important screenwriting news, information, or thoughts, start using the hashtag #ScriptMag in those tweets so we can all help each other learn. You can always catch up on what you missed during the day by going to Tweetchat and searching the #ScriptMag hashtag.
After all, social media is social. Being a community is the whole point.

I love me some @dizzydentgirl. She sure knows her script writing.
Love @dizzydentgirl…she’s on my list too.
Oh, what a great topic! Twitter is an invaluable resource for writers It’s such a fun way to network and stay on top of the latest industry news. I love:
- @goodinaroom – Stephanie Palmer gives advice on pitching to industry executives
- @theblcklst – The Black List – screenwriting goodness
- @AmyMSuto – a blogger with fun, sassy articles about movies and screenwriting
- @NathanFillion – just because he always makes me laugh and you need a little silliness in your feed
Also, @BlueCatPictures for news on the latest competition and workshops!
Dawn… ohhh, “sassy”? I’m going to have to check @AmyMSuto out. Thanks! Totally agree with your other suggestions too. Thanks!
Thanks all for the pointers – added a few of your suggestions.
Recommended:
@wcmartell – Great tips of the day on his site (but you have to go read it every day – no way to look up the archives), some good quotes and pointers in tweets
@BittrScrptReadr – A little ummm… bitter, and opinionated (as if the rest of us aren’t), but sends alot of good RT from others I wouldn’t want to follow every day
@ScreenwritingU – Good pointers, mixed with plugs for what appear to be good classes. Did 1 free teleconference class so far, which was very good, can’t speak for the rest yet (though planning to take course in October)
