Write the Next Hollywood Blockbuster!
Exploring creative writing genres
Creative writing is any writing that goes outside of the bounds of the norm. It does not mean you can only be the author of a book either. We can find stories everywhere! Love music? Write lyrics. Love movies? Let’s learn to how to start a screenplay with “i” The Guy!
Script writing follows the same basic story writing guidelines.
- Who is the main character?
- Who is his/her/their sidekick?
- Who is the villain?
- Where does the movie take place?
- Is it a comedy, drama, action, romance, etc?
We’re including some worksheets to get you started. Download them below.
We want to see your scripts and character drawings! Be sure to tag us on social media @iWRITElit and hashtag #iWRITEathome.
This free creative writing activity was made possible thanks in part to the support of the Pi Beta Phi Foundation.
