New Blogs

Remember: new students, you're to be starting a blog about your writing experience and sending me the link for inclusion on the master blog space.  You can see the links at right for the current blog roster.

On the road again...

After the initial pitch meeting last week, the workshops are officially up and running.

Students midway through either their workshop or senior project should have completed the second week deadline by now.  Are you up to speed?

Co-op Lead

From Professor Abrams:


SCRP Grad Katie Nolan is working as a production coordinator at JWM Productions, just outside of Washington, DC.  She says that they take a lot of interns, and I'd guess that goes for co-op students as well.  So, if you think you're in the market for either, please contact Katie at katie@jwmprods.com.

Follow the Path

Follow the path laid out in the syllabus, and you will complete a feature/pilot/whatever before the end of Senior Project in the spring.  Stray from the path, your odds drop dramatically.  Ask yourself: how close to the path am I?

Also remember, you're supposed to be blogging.  It's one of the primary ways to communicate your process and thinking.  I've been looking at the blogs and am... underwhelmed.

Finally, this process is partially about learning to write on your own, without the constant reenforcement of a standard class structure.  That being said, you should never feel cut off from assistance.  I'm ready, willing, and able to meet with you individually as much as you feel necessary to assist you in your project.  You have the power to make the request any time.  Just e-mail me.  Otherwise, keep on writing.

First Deadline

Just a friendly reminder that Senior Project and workshop students have their first deadline at the end of this week.  Keep on top of the writing.

Just Sayin'

You will earn so many brownie points if you show up to the Customer Service Premiere Tomorrow night, you'll go into diabetic shock.

Did you know?

The SCRP Program gets tons of announcements about internships, writing contests, and events of particular interest to our students.  Professor Abrams forwards these announcements out to you lucky devils and you... well, delete them without looking at them, because that's how you look at official e-mail.

To save you from yourselves, I collect all those announcements and put them on the Internship Clearing House page (mid-named because everything isn't always about internships) on this blog, so you can always find them.  I just reset the page.  Everything on there is current and of interest in Fall 2012.
