Writer’s block is always an issue. Here are some quick ways to get inspiration!

• When trying to name your main character, it’s hard to get that really great name that audiences will remember. I suggest using some sort of random name generator that comes up with first and last names based on gender. Flip through baby naming guides, family trees, anything you can get your hands on. Make sure that if you’re writing for a specific time in history that you research popular names- there probably wasn’t very many Brittanys in the medivel era.
• When trying to define your plot, you need to chose certain obstacles to put in your character’s way. Think of your own experiences, or even use a random plot points generator to help give you ideas.
• Flip through inspirational pictures or quotes that you can find on the internet.
• Listen to music.
• Draw from your own experiences

Remember, the process of screen writing is, for the most part, rewriting. Once you get through your rough draft, it’s all down hill from there.
