10 Basic Rules of Screenwriting

1. Feature film script should be between 95 and 120 pages in length.
Never longer. A script over 120 pages needs editing.
Never shorter. A script shorter than 90 pages is too short.
The perfect length is 100 pages for comedies, 110 for dramas.
Cheat your margins if you have to, but better yet write and cut to the correct length.

2. Do NOT use camera directions. Ever.
(Note: Historically, writers used to employ camera directions, but the… Continue

"Lord Change Me"

I am sure you will agree, the prominent buzz word for the day is "change". We as nation/ children of God are wanting change; in our government, in our school systems, in our communities, in our homes. More often than not, when you hear one comment on the need to change, it is in reference to someone else. We tend to be like those referred to in a parable spoken by Jesus. In Matthew 7: 3, we are cautioned not to be as the one who addressed the mote in the eye of his brethren and not focus on the… Continue

Declare Your Independence

Have you ever considered starting your own business as a way to declare your independence from the bondage of relying on another person to create your income? I love the fact as a new business owner you are declaring your independence! So in the spirit of celebrating Independence Day, the 4th of July this article will explore the top 10 reasons to declare your independence today!

Reason #1
You have the FREEDOM to create your own income!
You determine how much you want to make and go after the ways/means to make the money, no one tells you that you will make only $12.00 an hour and yet give me $25.00 an hour worth of work.

Reason #2
You have the FREEDOM to determine how many days, hours you will work each week. You do not have to ask to go to lunch, take the day off or call in sick.

Reason #3
You have the Liberty to make changes as needed.
If things are not working out and there is a better way to go, change it without the red tape.

Reason #4
You get to do something you love or are passionate about.
Imagine waking up and wanting to work, not feeling forced to.

Reason #5
Eliminate the long commutes.
Many have to look for jobs outside their community and face long drives on congested freeways. Eliminate the commute by starting a business from home.

Reason #6
You have the FREEDOM to choose who you work with.
You pick your clients, your staff, etc. If it is not a good fit you choose to replace the staff or not work with the client.

Reason #7
FREEDOM from stress.
Eliminate the stress of finding a job or the possibility getting a pink slip by being proactive and plan now for your independence.


Reason #8
FREEDOM to choose when you get up & when you get out of your PJ’s
In some cases you can work from home in your PJ’s and bunny slippers.

Reason #9
The cost to start a business today is minimal.
What used to cost thousands and require a brick & mortar, now costs in many cases under $1,000.00 to get up and running.

Reason #10
The Tax Benefits
As an entrepreneur there are many advantages for you in the tax return arena. If you keep accurate records the benefits may surprise you. Check with a CTEC or CPA for full benefits.

These are just 10 of the numerous reasons to Declare Your Independence this July and start your own business. So what is holding you back today? There are so many options in launching a business whether it is as an entrepreneur or as part of a MLM or direct sales group, explore your options!

What a perfect time to launch this journey in your life as our country celebrates its 233rd year of Independence this weekend.

Why should I build a business?


A question asked so many times is, why should I build a business? Isn't it safer to work for someone else at least I always get a paycheck? What about benefits? All of these are good questions, however if you stay in the question mode constantly analyzing the decision you will never move forward.

I will tell you today is the best time to explore & launch a business of your own. Let's tackle the questions above first. Why should you build a business? Building a business gives you something that is yours, you can create your income and you do not have to bust your butt for a chance it will be appreciated. The value of busting your butt for something that is yours is beyond value. Let's address the "at least I get a paycheck". Do you now, is that a guarantee? Not today, if companies that have been around forever are closing their doors where is the promise there? The benefits...buy your own!

You can begin the launch/creation of your business while employed and gradually move into being an entrepreneur. Start dreaming today about what you love to do and how you can make money doing it, then contact me to begin the launch! Today you can start a business with almost no money; you do not need a building or a staff!

The next question that comes up is what types of people start their own business? To this question I simply reply, YOU! The key requirement to starting your own business is the desire to do it. The amazing part is you do not need to know how to start one, just want to start one. There are so many resources to find out the how once you have the desire to step out and make it happen.

So what is stopping you from launching your dream business?

During the next few issues we will explore the process of creating your dream business from conception to an amazing launch!
