The creative and thoughtful feedback provided by your peers and myself, offers diverse perspectives to refine your comedic writing, dialogue, and characterisations. • Narrative Clarity: Delve into the foundational elements of your script, exploring narrative structure, plot development, character arcs, and thematic resonance. Engaging in discussions about the overall vision for your project helps to ensure that individual scenes contribute effectively to the larger comedic narrative you are creating. This collaborative exploration can illuminate potential plot holes, strengthen comedic throughlines, and solidify the unique comic voice of your script.  • Funniness!: Develop and sharpen the comedy of your script.  Each week, we will look closely at your writing to look at where and how they can be enhanced with key edits and rewrites, drawing out principles you can apply to future scenes too. Setting your writing objectives each week, fosters a sense of accountability and ensures consistent forward movement on your script. Sharing your progress and your struggles with fellow writers creates a supportive group that encourages you to stay on track. Plus you can request topics for coaching and discussion: • Identify specific areas of your comedic writing where you seek improvement, such as crafting effective comic lines, writing comedic dialogue, developing memorable characters, or mastering the intricacies of a comedy narrative - and I'll do some coaching on the subject! • Navigating the Next Stage: Script Spark extends beyond the writing process itself, offering guidance and support as you consider the next steps for your completed or near-completed scripts, whether it's competitions, pitching to producers, or embarking on the journey of self-production.
