Found screenwriting frustrating.

Comment on How To Title a Book by JoanFidge https://jerichowriters.com/townhouse/articles/how-to-title-a-book/comment-page-8/#comment-4265 Fri, 28 Feb 2025 20:13:05 +0000 https://jerichowriters.com/townhouse/articles/how-to-title-a-book/#comment-4265 A great title can make all the difference in grabbing attention and setting the right tone for the story. I love the idea of brainstorming keywords and testing different variations, it definitely helps to step back and see what resonates the most. I’m seriously overwhelmed with school right now. I found this thread https://forum.aresearchguide.com/threads/desperate-senior-here-can-someone-write-essay-for-me-need-help-asap.7/ where another student is in the same boat, struggling with essays and looking for help. Since I am stuck with the literature assignment, maybe I can grab some of your ideas here, guys. I need to come up with the subject of my research.

Stand There.
Casting her eyes over the honey-coloured floorboards—a pool of gold in the sunlight streaming through the large bay window—Helen stepped back, the scent of beeswax filling the air. She was about to turn away when the doorbell rang, the sound reverberating throughout the house. Dropping the soft cloth she went to answer.
Standing on the doorstep was a young man with a box balanced on one shoulder. He was handsome—too handsome, in a way—but this usually never impressed her, as her brothers were good-looking. Yet, as their eyes met, a familiar feeling washed over Helen: a warm, inexplicable recognition of the most familiar person in her world. So absorbed was she in this strange sensation that his voice, wrapped in the soft lilt of his Durham accent, startled her when he spoke.
“Hello,” he said, shifting the box slightly on his shoulder. “I’m from Crawford’s Butchers in Southwick. I was told to come through the back gate, but it’s locked.”
“Oh,” Helen muttered, her heart skipping a beat. The jolt brought her back to earth. “I’ll run down and unlock it for you now.”
Closing the door harder than intended, she leant against its sturdy oak, heat radiating from her face and her ears ringing with the pulse of her heart. Running through the house, Helen jumped down the few steps to the kitchen. Nellie, the cook, was nowhere to be seen, so opening the door to the sunny garden, she ran down the path to unlock the tall gate in the wall. Once back in the kitchen, she waited. When the young lad appeared through the gate, she watched him curiously as he walked up the garden path. With her heart still pounding, she smiled with unfamiliar confidence as he reached the back door.
