About the final project for: Creating a Series Bible from Scratch

Creating a Series Bible from Scratch

“We have reached the end of our course! I want to thank you for following me this far. I hope you enjoyed. I really enjoyed organizing and sharing all these ideas with you. Before saying goodbye, here are some final tips for you to make your final project: • Test your idea well before starting your project and don't start until you're sure it yields a series, and a new and cool series. • Create a wall and start a search. Research as much as you can about the topics relevant to your series, and jot down your ideas and premise. • Define your characters well, as best you can. A good series is about good characters. • When writing texts, be clear, objective and concise. Pay attention to the texts, but never lose sight of the fact that you are not writing literature. After you have written everything down, go back to your wall, look for the problems and try to solve them. After that, rewrite. Once the rewrite is complete, repeat the process one more time, as many times as necessary. Rewriting is very important and part of the process. • Make the most of your presentation. You never get a second chance to make a good first impression. Prepare, rehearse, rehearse and rehearse some more. Publish your bible and mood board if you want. also share your "pitch" as a final project! I'm very curious to see what you've produced. I will come in and comment on your project whenever possible! Be sure to comment on your peers' project and interact in the course forum. This can be a very enriching experience! And don't forget: write about something that really matters to you. Don't be afraid to write about your fears, your demons. This is where our treasures are often found. Until later!”

“Final project So, we come to the end of our course. First of all, I wanted to thank you for having attended all these classes, for having done all the exercises. I hope you enjoyed it, enjoyed it, enjoyed it. For me, it was very good to take this course, organize all these ideas and share them all with you. But I also have some general recommendations that I couldn't do during class, and that I think it's cool to leave it here. These are things that are a little more general, a little more open, but that I also consider very important. The first thing I wanted to say is that there are no ru...”
