Fiction

As a part of undergraduate classes, I wrote a tv show script and short story. Both projects helped develop my planning and revision skills, particularly revising for clarity.

Screenwriting

Both screenwriting and technical writing provide instructions, screenwriting for movies and tv episodes and technical writing for documentation. Therefore, both types of writing are similar in that they emphasize clarity and conciseness as well as active verbs. In spring 2009, I wrote a script for a 60 minute television series, Psych. While writing this script, I worked on idea generation, outlining, and intensive revision, focusing in particular on making my writing as concise and clear as possible.
