SADC Rules & General Guidelines
The following list is provided to help you along on your writing journey. The only rule that absolutely MUST be followed: Write at least ONE scene a day
SADC Rules & General Guidelines
(subject to change)
1. Write at least one scene each day - it can be hand written or typed and written for any medium (ie: screenplay, television, documentary, stage, commercial, novel, children's story, etc...). The scenes may or may not relate to one another.
2. Make sure to title and date each scene and keep them on file.
3. When you feel inspired, reply to the most current SADC entry on this blog with your progress, revelations, frustrations, questions and/or advice to fellow SADC members.
4. Membership is open to any and all people with an interest in becoming more creative. Simply reply to any SADC postings on this blog.
5. SADC member meetings will be organized periodically to discuss & read one another's scenes. Eventually we may choose to amalgamate all of our individual scenes or a combination of the SADC members scenes to create a feature film, tv series, etc... (membership does not require that you attend these meetings, but it is recommended).
6. When writing a scene, do not worry about quantity or quality. The only objective is to write. Eventually you will have so many scene ideas you won't know what to do with them all. Don't get overwhelmed, simply re-read Guideline #1.
7. Writing without the pressure of brilliance will give members less opportunity to resist. We are here to beat creative resistance.
8. Do not write a scene with a previous or future scene in mind. They do not have to relate. They can, but they don't have to. At this point we don't want to stilt anything.
9. Membership begins the day that you reply to any SADC blog and write your first scene.
10. If you miss a day, you owe 2 scenes (instead of 1) for that - however, if you write two scenes today, it doesn't mean you can skip tomorrow - it doesn't work that way. No matter what, you must write one scene (or more) a day - we don't encourage skipping days (but #$@% happens).
11. Just keep on writing.
