Good.  Passion is the first ingredient.  Writing scripts (and getting them sold) is a tough, tough job.  Thinking of plots is the easy part.  To actually get 90-120 pages of plot, characters and dialogue is alot more work that it might appear.\n\nGo to a bookstore.  Under writing, you'll find plenty of books that will help you get started.  \n\nFigure out what type of genre you're interested in.  A comedy is written for laughs; a supernatural thriller needs jumps.  A thriller is formed with tight pacing.  \n\nAll scripts require careful use of dialogue and action.  A book has room for flowery descriptions and flowing text.  In a script, every word counts.  In a script it's not the "Bob was aging poorly, ruddy with wisps of thin hair barely covering his shiny head, a bloated waist, rumpled plaid shirt and buttons missing" but rather "BOB, 42, bald, bloated as a blowfish." \n\nFind some of your favorite scripts on-line.  Read them for structure.  No matter the genre, successful scripts follow a formula.  They're original but not too far off the path.  (That will get you an art film that no one watches.)  Try a site like simplyscripts.com or script-o-rama.com. \n\nUCLA on-line has many classes.  If you're the type of person who needs a coach, they'll help.  If your self-directed, you can teach yourself... if you have talent.\n\nConsider getting a writing partner.  Although it's a relationship that will require compromise, a partner who balances your strengths and weaknesses (maybe one is good with dialogue/the other with plots) will take you a long way.\n\nLearn to network.  Succeeding as a screen writer is a political game that requires much more than raw talent.  Hollywood is based on quid-pro-quo trades.  You'll need friends whereever you can find them.\n\nIf you can afford to get an entry level job, they're out there to be found.  They don't pay much.  Start somewhere like variety.com and branch out your search from there.  You're a finance professional... you might be able to make a lateral move into an industry related office.  From that vantage you can start your venture.\n\nYour first script will probably not be nearly as good as you think it is.  Get feedback from credible readers.  (Don't give a romance script to a mystery person.  You'll get feedback that's really not that helpful.)  Be prepared for people to say you suck.  Be prepared to rewrite every single word you wrote.\n\nDon't, don't quit a day job.  Succeeding will take longer than you ever imagine and writing to eat is a desperate feeling that rarely results in success.

All good writing is rewriting.  I hope you have a good word processor, because it may take a dozen rewrites to submit your very best essay.\n\nStart by reading the description of what the scholarship board wants in the essay, and be sure to follow it closely.  Make the sentence structure as clean and simple as possible; don't run on and connect things with "and" and so on, or with punctuation, or anything else, the way this sentence does.  Cut out useless repetition, and don't repeat yourself (as this sentence does).  Go over it and over it and over it to avoid over-using the same word over and over.\n\nStick to the word limit provided, and come as close to it as you can.  If they want 500 words, they do not want 502, but they will love 498.\n\nSee what I mean?  All that you have been taught in all your English classes must come into play, and polish that little gem until it glows.  Sound idealistic, but not too idealistic; realism must be acknowledged.  Sound enthusiastic, flexible, honorable; pack every virtue into it that you can.  And don't forget to spell-check and proof-read the final draft.

Do you have an idea of what your other paragraphs are going to be about? It'll help  to determine what to write in your first paragraph. But here's maybe an idea that may be useful:\n\nThese strengths and weaknesses can be found in academics, athletics and talents.

A good coach is first of all a good teacher. Ability to communicate, especially with the appropriate age group is important. Understanding of the game, beyond fascination from the fan perspective is important. Playing experience is usually a huge plus. In college, understanding of recruiting is huge.

*****\nThe following pre-requisites are a must for entering in to the profession of journalism and to become a good journalist:\n\n- Self confidence\n- Flair for writing;\n- Good hold on English and local languages;\n- Good vocabulary;\n- Sharp Vision;\n- Creative ideas;\n- Analytical power;\n- Posession of Dashing and daring nature;\n- Readiness for immediate journey for verifying the facts about the story at the place of happening;\n- Unbiased reporting, etc.\n- Knowledge of Copy Right and other Intellectual Property Rights, etc. laws of the land on the subject (of course this can be learnt during the course on journalism);\n\nPrepare for these things first and take admission in to some reputed institute for journalism.  Read various magazines to judge the tendency of reporters, writers or editors and their style of presentation. Think, if you can present those ideas in some different and effective manner. Prepare yourself for some outstanding and quite a different style of journalism than to a routine type of jounalism in order to attract automatic attention of readers.\n\nSide by side, considering right now as a free lancer journalist, try to collect some ideal stories, prepare scoop, and send to various local newspapers and magazines to make your identity before you actualy launch your own project, so that people should know you beforehand. Of course, if you get a chance of getting some important story, don't hesitate to try your luck in having the same printed in some reputed and popular magazine than through local ones.\n\nThis way you would be quite a successful and outstanding journalist.

These guys can help or at least point you in the right direction: www.wordtechs.com. They were lots of help to me, polished many a paper and they help with all kinds of writing. They provided me with a one-on-one writing coach that I communicated with over the phone and email. I'm really feeling good about my writing now and have some up for publishing. Also, only a few dollars and quick turn-around.\n\nGood luck!\n~Tia~

You don't have to search this kind of stuff out.  Good writing exists everywhere.  Open a magazine, go to the library, read something for pleasure.  Writing takes many forms, you just need to look for it.  \n\nIf you know what specifically is your problem as a writer I could suggest readings, but because you're pretty vague (which may be your problem) I say just read anything you can get your hands on.\n\nIf you're going to be taking a writing class or you have taken a writing class your text book will probably have short essays to read or tips on making your writing stronger.\n\nOne place I recommend my students check out is Purdue's Online Writing Lab (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/).  It is one of the best website out there and you can find really helpful readings about making your writing stronger.  \n\nGood luck!
