A lot of you will have your own resources and some of them might feature here. Nevertheless, I've had this post tucked away for a rainy day, so here it is:
Name by meaning - type in a word (adjective) and see what names come up. Want a fighter? Type in "warrior" and you'll get a fair few.
Reverse dictionary - far from perfect but occasionally useful - worth a look.
TV glossary - Alex Epstein's thorough list of TV terms.
Character traits - an invaluable list of hundreds of personality traits for your characters.
Slang - two links for 'popular' slang words - there are hundreds!
Military terms - a list of terms for your war film.
Story generator - really stuck for ideas? Scrape the bottom of the barrel. I'm yet to use this, but it looks quite interesting:
The story is about an official who is best friends with a monk. It takes place in Stalingrad. The story climaxes with a war.
100 screenwriting tips - a list of polishes to make to your script.
Writesofluid - a collection of resources
Creative Screenwriting - podcasts and Q&As with some of the best writers out there.
When it comes to finding screenplays, we all know it can be tricky. So here are a few links to help you out:
- Scriptcollector - a great blog with great scripts to download in PDF format
- TV scripts and Bibles - all great shows and some unaired
- Simplyscripts
- Screenplays-online
- Scriptcrawler
If you have any other resources to help people out, feel free to post them in the comments section.
