About
Stop Getting Stuck on Page One You've got your outline. You know your structure works. But turning that outline into actual pages — real scenes, real dialogue, real writing — is a different beast entirely. Structure Lab: First Draft is an 8-week intensive workshop that gives you the tools to turn your outline into a complete first draft. You'll walk out with: • A complete first draft of your feature screenplay. • Real experience translating structure into scene work • Feedback from your peers and instructor on every stage of the draft Each of the 8 weeks is dedicated to writing one of your screenplay's eight sequences, building your first draft one solid piece at a time. The Workshop Advantage Here's what makes this different from writing alone: You won't just write one script. You'll be involved in developing eight first drafts — yours plus your seven classmates'. That means you'll practice spotting what's working and what isn't. You'll see how different structures come to life on the page. You'll get sharper at giving and receiving notes. And by Week 8, you'll have a completed screenplay ready to shape and share. Who This Is For • Writers with a completed, workshopped outline ready to go • Writers ready to write consistently for two months straight • Writers who want structure and accountability, not just inspiration This class dives straight into the writing, so it's built for a well-crafted structure, not a vague idea.
