Anyway, coming back to twitter. I get where you're coming from about them owning you but there is a lot of press in the UK at the moment about Celebrities using the medium because it is easier for them to get their message over to their fans and that they can actually control their own PR rather than rely on the press which often portrays them in a rather less flattering way in a lot of cases. So I think it goes both ways to be honest! great post and I think I have become a regular reader from now on. Cheers, Danny Hi Tim, great blog you’ve got here…I sort of stumbled across it and have been reading a couple of your posts and they’re interesting and very enjoyable to read.

I've seen some really good examples of how to use it and not to use it. As for how not to use it, don't seem like the pushy salesman with multiple posts per day hawking your products or affiliate products. One of my followers inundates almost the entire page with tweets... annoying. Don't be that guy. Anthony Robbins has a good approach offering bits of wisdom with an occasional link to either his product or some other source of info. Another good example is one in which the marketer cements his relationship with his followers by using their name in response to a tweet they may have posted in response to one of his tweets/articles on his website.

I'm on the board of a film school and a repped screenwriter and my answer would be; Chinatown Tootsie Office Space Mean Girls The Kings Speech There are plenty of others, but those will give you a good range. You can get free scripts here http://www.script-o-rama.com. There is also a store in LA and you can look at their stock here. http://www.scriptfly.com/screenplays/ The books you must read if you're thinking of writing a screenplay are "Save the Cat" by Blake Snyder and "Story" by McKee. "Story" is not the most efficient way to go about writing a screenplay, but it does contain concepts that will come up when you are talking about your screenplay. "Save the Cat" is the most efficient at just getting a screenplay done. Our school offers a three week intensive course and I would be happy to get you a full scholarship ( tuition $3000). I can also tell you what parts of the course you can skip without losing any of the information you would need to learn how to write a script. It's by far the quickest way to learn to write a screenplay. Let me know if you would like for me to make that happen. I don't want to include a link since I don't want to advertise on your site, but would be happy to send any info you would like. Cheers and good luck, Heather Tim,
