“We sift reality through screens composed of ideas . (And such ideas have their roots in older ideas.) Such idea systems are necessarily limited by language , by the ways we can describe them. That is to say: language cuts the grooves in which our thoughts move. If we seek new validity forms (other laws and other orders) we must step outside language.” IfsWayIdeasRealityMovingFormLawOrderLanguageStepsCuttingRootsScreensOur ThoughtsValidityGroove Author:Frank Herbert
“Telling your story out loud is the way human beings communicate. We don't normally think up words, translate how to spell them and then move our fingers up and down over this randomly arranged set of keys to make the same letters appear on a screen.” ThinkingWayHumansStoriesMovingLiteratureHuman BeingsKeysLettersFingersCommunicateScreensLoudSpellsTranslateUp And DownTelling Your Story Author:Kevin J.

“Writing on a computer feels like a recipe for writer's block. I can type so fast that I run out of thoughts, and then I sit there and look at the words on the screen, and move them around, and never get anywhere. Whereas in a notebook I just keep plodding along, slowly, accumulating sentences, sometimes even surprising myself.” FeelsWritingLooksI CanSometimesRunningMovingTypeComputerSentencesScreensBlockSurprisingRecipesNotebookWriter's Block Author:Chad Harbach
“What is poetry? Do not enquire. The secret dies by prying. How does the heart beat? I fainted when I saw it on the screen, opening and closing like a flower ...

“I can pick up a screenplay and flip through the pages. If all I see is dialog, dialog, dialog, I won't even read it. I don't care how good the dialog is - it's a moving picture. It has to move all the time... It's not the stage. A movie audience doesn't have the patience to sit and learn a lesson. Their eyes need to be dazzled. The writer is the most important element in the entire film because if it ain't on the page it ain't going to be on the screen.” IfsNeedsI CanImportantEyeCareFilmMovingAudienceStageLessonsElementsPagesPicksDon't CareScreensI Don't CareFlipScreenplaysLearning Lessons Author:Robert Evans

“When you're writing for the screen you're really thinking all the time of what you have to do to make sure that they have the information that they need, that the emotional thread is not snapped, that the story moves at the right speed, to keep the audience hopefully sitting on the edge of their seats or else weeping or laughing.” ThinkingNeedsWritingStoriesMovingAudienceLaughingInformationEmotionalSittingEdgesSpeedScreensHopefullySeatsThreadWeepingSitting On The Edge Author:Salman Rushdie
“You've got to bring the emotion, and you have to understand that you can't touch other people if you're not touched. You can't move other people if you're not moved. So if you're just giving some frickin talk you've memorized over and over again, you're going to have a flat affect. If you've just got a bunch of visuals on the screen that are leading your talk, hang up your shoes and get the hell out of there.” PeopleIfsGivingMovingEmotionHellMovedShoesScreensBunchVisualsTouchedFlatsHang Ups Author:Tony Robbins
