Larry,

I always love your content at storyfix. Thank you so much for being a guest here at The Stafford Scribe.

From the words of my favorite Irish Blessing:

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Thanks again,
Patti

I loved the playfulness in this post. Being married to an engineer, I can appreciate this approach — as well as the humor and irony of trying to be creative engineers. Also, I have a friend who refers to any kind of container as a “bucket,” so this word is hilarious to me. I loved seeing it used to describe the writing process.

I used the six core competencies while writing my screenplay, though it was only after I wrote the first draft (and after much study) that I was able to think in those terms. It helps to have them outlined here in one package. I spent a lot of time reading a wide array of screenwriting books and blogs trying to assemble these concepts in my head. Thanks for such a comprehensive article!

Wow! What an awesome article! I've never really thought about what elements are absolutely necessary in my stories, but I sure will now. :)
