#Goals Workbook

Every screenplay is about a protagonist reaching a goal or solving a problem. This workbook will help writers clarify the protagonist's inner and outer goals and the steps needed to reach a resolution. Remember that goals should be attainable (with evidence from who the character is) and actionable (make the character active).

What Pen Pals Are Saying

 As a growing writer, the feedback from The Professional Pen has been crucial in developing my project. The straight forward feedback opened my mind beyond my script. I was given advice about the genre, the world I created, raising the stakes, and character decisions, etc. It urged me to go back, rethink about those gray areas in which I already felt were weak to tackle them for a stronger, focused, and reassured execution. Over all, I like that I wasn't given solutions to my writing, but solid questions that challenged me. I most definitely recommend the services provided. Thank you! - Justin F.
