- Adventures in Screenwriting: Chicken Soup Screenwriting for the Soul
A script is a lot like a pot of chicken soup. There's really no wrong way of doing it, yet every one (sorry, writer) has their own unique way of making it. Some writers religiously outline, some follow a beat sheet and fill in the blanks. Others dive into the deep end without a life preserver or throw in everything that they have helter skelter from the cupboard. And after a couple of hours (or days or weeks or months), after letting it all simmer, you have...a screenplay (or a batch of botulism).

A stripper's murder leads to a lot of bloodshed and a girl reassessing her dream to be a cop.
It is 1970's London and actress Laura Neagle, a theatrical icon and world famous movie star, has been dubbed "the English Brigitte Bardot" because of the provocative movies she makes. If Laura had her way, she'd rather be "the English Donna Reed." The life of an actress is tough but rarely ever dull.
Elodie Clarke is tired of being the bad girl, especially in the eyes of her mother. When her ex-boyfriend, Danny, draws her into yet another messy situation, only one person is going to be able untangle the mess and it sure isn't Danny.
Singer Betty Browning lived her life in the fast lane and consequently died before her time. Because she accumulated enough "bad points" in her life to send even Mother Teresa to hell, the deed of redemption she is sent on becomes her only chance to get into heaven. But as in life, Betty is no girl scout.
Elodie is a young actress trying to get out of the large shadow of her iconic actress mother. When Elodie meets a middle aged French actor named Marcel during a movie shoot, she finds her mother's shadow extends further and to more things than she thought possible.
Alan Harrison represents the famous stage couple Laurence and Lynn Markham. Some days, he's happy to represent them. Most days, he wishes he never knew them.
Claire goes in search of answers to her sister's unsolved murder. But the wrong question to the wrong person might get Claire murdered as well.
When Max Lerner bankrupts his firm, his daughters are left penniless. When they find out Max did more than make a questionable business deal, the girls take what they learned from their father and turn it against him.
When Josh and Syd realize they aren't destined to live their Hollywood dreams, they come up with a plan to kidnap the famous Hollywood actress, Helena Miles, and hold her for ransom. Only problem is Helena's producer husband doesn't want her back and Helena doesn't want to go back.
When Maggie moves to a small Nebraska town, her dream of becoming a journalist dies a premature death. However, a good jounalist can always find a story even when there isn't one to be had.
