		<description><![CDATA[Raiders of the Lost Ark, ‘a film by Lawerence Kasdan’? Within the years 1960 to 1980, screenwriters encountered another obstacle in their quest for recognition and expression. This took the form of the coined phrase, ‘director adulation’ where the director is hailed as the superstar. This evolved from the development of the ‘auteur theory’ which was employed to isolate a single person in the film making process and make him or her the author of the film. It was part of the argument to define film as art. Proposed by François Truffant in the late 1950’s, he maintained that the <a href='http://orrinmonro.com/2011/08/01/a-history-of-screen-writing-part-5-raiders-of-the-lost-ark-%e2%80%98a-film-by-lawerence-kasdan%e2%80%99/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By 1954 there were five different writer’s guilds representing writers in the various trades: The Author’s Guild, The Dramatists Guild, The Radio Writers Guild, The Television Writers Group and The Screenwriters Guild. That year they formed two affiliated guilds with offices in Hollywood and in New York. They were entitled the Writer’s Guild of America west and the Writer’s Guild of America east respectively and were defined geographically by the Mississippi River. In streamlining and reorganising the representative bodies, the two guilds could now focus on their member’s needs in a more geographically confined area and with all the guilds <a href='http://orrinmonro.com/2011/07/25/a-history-of-screen-writing-part-4/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the 1940’s the production line mentality among studios still prevailed meaning that there was a lot of work for the screenwriter. Just after World War II the employment figures for the screenwriting trade peaked at 560 writers working in Hollywood. There were still problems regarding the allocation of credit as a selfish director could and did claim all or part of the writing credit. To combat this the Screenwriter’s Guild under took the task of creating a comprehensive directory giving credit to where it was due. Writers, with a greater sense of security were establishing themselves as more important <a href='http://orrinmonro.com/2011/07/18/a-history-of-screen-writing-part-3/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The start is the worst place to start. Does that make sense? The blinking cursor on the blank page. Pulsing, expectant, impatient. Type and backspace. Type some more and correct a spelling error. Break. Coffee. What next?! It was the summer of 2002 and I had just finished my first full length screenplay. I loved talking about it. I loved every minute thinking about it. I loved writing it, and I loved the fact that I actually finished it; all one hundred and twenty pages. &#8220;What now?&#8221;, I thought. The answer to me at the time was brutal and devastating; <a href='http://orrinmonro.com/2011/07/18/a-writers-journey-day-three-the-journey-starts/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So my blog motivates me. It sits there waiting for me to return with more gems of wisdom, or a progress report. But I wouldn't mind some real motivation to write; an audience. I want to hear from others in the same position as me, I want to hear from anybody, and for that to happen they must read my work. So, how do I go about sharing my blog. Network, network and network; also known as Facebook, Twitter and Following. I need to follow and be followed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the 1930’s the shooting script evolved as the primary blue print to how the film was to be constructed. It was and still is a written breakdown of a film into individual shots, a purpose similar to its predecessor of the silent era. The studio system, now fully established used it to schedule shooting and draw up the budgets pertaining to the costs of each shoot. It was used by the director and crew during production and was what the screenplay became once it left the screenwriter and arrived on set. The system by which studios had scripts written <a href='http://orrinmonro.com/2011/07/11/a-history-of-screen-writing-part-2/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have read the introduction on my home page you'll know that I have set myself a goal for 2010: get published or fail spectacularly! Self-made promises are easily broken, forgotten and consigned to the recycle bin of the mind. Twelve months later they are rescued and reissued, usually to face the same fate as before.  So, how can I guarantee that this year will be any different for me and my resolution? You're looking at it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“The  last  person to receive credit  for a film’s success,  down  the  line  after the cinematographer, composer and producer’s brother-in-law is the screenwriter. Nobody cares about the writer.” James V. Hart.[1] &#160; When films first started being made there were no scripts. Each scene was improvised by the director as he ordered each actor around the set, telling them what to do during the next shot. Sub-titles were always written later and added when the film was being edited. When it became impossible to make films by improvisation the screenplay came into being. At this stage film was developing into <a href='http://orrinmonro.com/2011/07/04/a-history-of-screen-writing-part-1/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

So, twice a year my, aspirations, hopes or dreams are hoisted up my mast of intentions and are blown away by responsibility, sensibility and priority. My name is Orrin Monro and I am an unpublished author. So, another year and the same resolution, and now another birthday has passed and still the game goes on.
