Give me your email address and I will send you two thngs. In the same zip file.

1. Another member asked for a copy of my screenwriting manual. I explained, so 40 minuts later he had used Chat GPT4 to machine translate my Swedish text into English. After reading he wrote "I am thoroughly enjoying your manuscript and think it is superior to the vast majority of screenwriting books out there. Thank you so much for sharing!" That was unexpected because the comments from those who have read the original Swedish text were less funny. But I realize a difference. This comment came from a person with much more experience.

So if you have read none or at most a few other screenwriting manuals, you will probably find the information density unpalatable. But if you have read many screenwriting manuals, you will probably like that I largely tell how to actually solve problems.

The content :

Part 1 : Read this before writing your first screenplay.

Part 2 : Solutions when Act 2 is filled with big holes.

Part 3 : Delete errors from your screenplay.

Part 4 : If I had known that the sales information in my sources was obsolete, I would not had written this.

About 500 pages if published as a pocket book. But a computer printout will be about 160 pages.

2. Then my fellow screenwriter machine translated my collection with modern urban legends. When I run out of ideas, I go through my collection.

Books about urban legends typically include about 100 examples. But my collection includes about 4,500. So it takes a few ten hours to read all. A folklore researcher told me that my collection is definitely one of the biggest in the world.

A large minority of the stories are not family friendly.

Those who use AI can check what happens if you feed it some of the stories.
