How to Find Your Writing Rhythm with Marsha Casper Cook
Writing Rhythm is what I perceive to be my own writing style. Over the years, I have realized that when writing a poem, a novel, or a screenplay my voice is what I feel in my heart. When I write I try to be honest with my feeling and never try to write like anyone else.
There are some days when I write something I really don’t like but I usually don’t discover that until the next day. I then ask myself what was I thinking when I wrote that. There is usually no answer to that question, so I go on and hope that my story will come to me. Usually my stories come to me in small segments. I am happy about that because it takes time to know your characters so you can develop them and maintain the rhythm of a smooth sorry that flows naturally.
Most of the time when I can’t seem to figure out where my story is going I close my eyes and place myself into the situation that my character is in. My characters are not me they are just coming from thoughts and ideas that I may have on the subject good or bad.
When I write I try to be flexible and go with the flow. I always hope that my characters come to life and they usually do. When I speak about writing, I tell stories about how I sometimes write a letter as the character and try to understand the problems my character may or may not have. If they have no problems, they are not real. They also have to have a past to get to where they are at the time I am writing about them. When I’m finished and happy with the storyline I always hope that the next day when I re - read it again and again I will be happy with what I have written. If not, I re- thinks my thoughts and makes changes or start again. If at the end of the day I don’t like my storyline and I don’t think the reader will I begin again and inevitably it does become better with a better flow and a realistic rhythm.

A GOOD STORY IS A GOOD STORY
MOVIES TO GO TO - UNSTOPPABLE / LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS
It's holiday time but don't forget to make time to see a few good movies. There is nothing better than sitting back and enjoying a movie at your local theatre. I know that it's expensive to go to the movies but when you actually get to the theatre, buy your popcorn and find a good seat you forget your troubles and relax... and that is good!
I try to see as many new movies as possible. I am a screenwriter and think all screenwriters should see movies. I am always surprised when a screenwriter tells me they haven't see a movie in a long time. I think every good screenwriter should see movies, especially new movies. This weekend was a busy one but I saw two very different movies - UNSTOPPABLE & LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS.
Unstoppable is a very entertaining and energetic movie. The actors are all professional and the story is very exciting. This movie is suspenseful immediately after the story set –up and from that very moment you will feel as if you are on the train with Denzel and Chris. The film director is Tony Scott and the screenwriter is Mark Bomback. The producers Julie Yorn, Tony Scott and Chris Ciaffa made a good decision when they said yes to this screenplay.
LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS is really a wonderful movie with subtle messages that you won't soon forget. It's a beautiful love story and this movie has heart. Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Josh Gad, Hank Azaria and Oliver Platt all gave superb performances. Jake and Anne have a wonderful chemistry and hopefully they will do another movie together. The movie had very intimate beautiful moments and this is a must see.Thank you Charles Randolph for writing such an engaging script. I hope there will be Oscar nominations coming forward. Ed Zwick was the director and he also was a producer along with Marshall Herskovitz, Scott Stuber and Mary Parent.
Hollywood is moving forward with some very good films.
