Hello! You’ve joined The Script Mistress for Scene 24: Character Archetype Series, The Warrior! I am your host, Amber Bosworth and you are in for a special treat. For the next 12 episodes, I’m going to dig deep into each of the 12 popular character archetypes. I barely scratched the surface in my episode all the way back to Scene 11. Go back and listen if you want just a quick rundown of those 12 types. www.thescriptmistress.com/scene11.

The April Ink 2 Screen Challenge is now open for registration. I run a monthly short screenwriting challenge where writers get 5 days to write a new 5-page screenplay based on a prompt sent out the first day of the challenge. The winner gets $150 and every writer that submits a completed script gets detailed feedback. This is all included in the $15 entry fee.
