USE STRUCTURE. Structure is all too often dismissed as a hindrance to creativity and, taken to the level of conformity it is, but up to a critical threshold it enhances creative output ? both in terms of the quality and size of the idea pool.
? Short term goals (incremental productivity) produce more output than a "do your best" approach. With specific regard to creative writing, writing four pages a day completes a words-on-paper first draft screenplay in one month. A "do your best" or "waiting for inspirationn" approach can take months or years. Witness the untold number of people with unfinished manuscripts under their beds.
Web Design ManchesterStarting off in business is always a struggle. You want to be recognised as quickly as possible so that sales can quickly take an upward spiral. Making your presence felt isn`t always that easy though and a great place to start will be your company`s website. As a startup business you need to get a foothold online and create a site that stands out from the rest. Based in Manchester you want to reach out to far-flung corners of the globe and embrace new customers from around the world. Help with
Web Design Manchester can be acquired through a leading web and graphic designer who is based within the region. This might sound expensive but in reality it isn`t because the

Once you are online you can promote your services and goods and as your business starts to blossom you can request that the
Web Design Manchester be updated.
? Simply being prolific improves performance and quality. The single best creative product tends to appear at that point in the career when the creator is being most prolific.
? Techniques such as separating creative from critical thinking increase the quality and quantity of the idea pool: they allow the production of a large number of ideas and a large number of diverse and novel ideas.
? Sustained engagement in the endeavour increases the incidence and frequency of problem identification and thus the incidence and frequency of insight. The frequency of inspiration increases when engaged in the task.
USE THE HERO?S JOURNEY. This is another form of structure. While it is useful to know about plot points, three act structure, mid point (thus four act structure) and so on, this is (virtually) useless for screenwriting. You need to know WHAT to write and the Hero?s Journey is the template that the vast number of successful screenplays and stories are based upon. By using the Hero?s Journey, your plot points etc will naturally fall into place. Consider this:
a) Titanic (1997) grossed over $600,000,000 ? uses the Hero?s Journey as a template.
b) Star Wars (1977) grossed over $460,000,000 - uses the Hero?s Journey as a template.
c) Shrek 2 (2004) grossed over $436,000,000 - uses the Hero?s Journey as a template.
d) ET (1982) grossed over $434,000,000 - uses the Hero?s Journey as a template.
e) Spiderman (2002) grossed over $432,000,000 - uses the Hero?s Journey as a template.
f) Out of Africa (1985), Terms of Endearment (1983), Dances with Wolves (1990), Gladiator (2000) ? All Academy Award Winners Best Film are based on the Hero?s Journey.
g) Anti-hero stories (Raging Bull (1980), Goodfellas (1990) etc are all based on the Hero?s Journey).
DON?T BE AFRAID TO USE DESCRIPTION TO A DEGREE. It is true that cinema is a visual medium and the screenwriter must perfect the art of putting visual imagery on paper. But the screenplay is a word document and the decision maker?s imagination has to be fired up by the words. What the eye sees and instantly understands sometimes has to be described. You have two choices:
FADE IN: Old Man waits at a traffic light.
FADE IN: A frail old man, with a face that has lived, wary of others, hesitantly waits at the?
