How To Write An Informal Essay
By Mary Simmers
Writing an informal essay doesn’t mean you finally have the license to cuss all you want on paper. The main hallmark of this type of writing is the lack of a rigid style, with preferential use of a conversational tone. While the content of informal essays is intended to be drawn from your own beliefs and opinions, do note that you’ll need to support it with decent facts just the same.
Informal essays are purposely written to get the interest of every readers mixed with delight. But then, you can’t just make one just exactly what comes up into your mind, it has to be informative also. You can’t just tell stories on your own without being supported by facts. However, it is a way to reveal your inner talent in writing as what your imagination and feelings would show. It’s basically your point of view to a particular event or situations might be a problem, news, comments, a thing or a person maybe.
It is unique to other types of writing since it has an informal style, flexible content but then it must have a well-organized plan. Writing an informative essay as well with other types of writing is merely to get your readers mind active and they must comprehend to what your side is stating about. Although it is not a formal type one, there are still a lot of factors that needs to be considered and be followed by the writer.
No Structure Does Not Mean No Plan
The lack of a formal structure is often mistaken as meaning you can just write an informal essay from the seat of your pants. In truth, informal essays are just like other pieces of writing – they’re best done deliberately with an outline in place. As such, perform due diligence as usual – research your subject, outline your material and plan how to present your ideas. Similarly, perform thorough editing with the help of the best grammar checking software you can find.
Presentation
As it is informal, you can design your presentation of the material however you fancy. Would you like to do it in a narrative form, with the story interspersed with your opinions? Have you ever wondered how you would write in a ranting -albeit, well-argued – format? You can try it here.
While planning the essay, always consider two factors: the particular information you will present and when you will present it. Naturally, you will need to present enough facts to cover your entire argument. Timing the revelation of those facts can be as creative as you want, provided that it makes sense relative to the whole piece.
Format your essay well. You need also to check its quality as what it will appear to your readers mind. When you speak of quality, it should have something very important for them to learn out of your piece. Check also the overall content if it is properly arranged and all your grammars must be checked. Now, start writing and let it your ideas be shared to other people.

They will find you if you have a good track record.
If you have no history in that field you will find that no one will want to offer a contract.

i have a great idea for a movie and i dont know how i can get it to someone to make it into a movie….do i write a manuscript? if so wat exactly is a manuscript and after ii write it where do i take it? i am located in san diego -LA area
how can you get contracted to write a novel or movie script?
I know that a lot of people first write a book or movie script and then try to pitch it but I am more interested in being contracted to write a script from scratch. Any suggestions?
I am working on a manuscript for a novel now in case I wind up being left with pitching it.
If you only try ordinary things you will hardly get to achieve greater things. I am not afraid to try even if failure meets me.
In The Land of Women
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419843/
“His world in complete disorder after his break-up with a famous actress, Carter, a young soft-core porn writer, goes to suburban Detroit to care for his sickly Grandmother and heal his broken heart. Along the way he forms a special bond with the family that lives across from his Grandma, and changes the life of each woman. In the course of this, as is required in every film–and thus the world, he changes his own life as well.”
While he is there he also tries to write a new screen play, and he falls for the mother across the street when they go for walks and jogs together.
You can’t! I’m speaking from experience. The only way you can get a producer or director to look at your idea, or story, is to become a member of the Screen Writers Guild, but you have to be a member of the CAA (Creative Artists Agency), or another well known accredited agency for at least one year. You can’t be a member of the CAA without having an agent or manager, or without having some previous experience that put you into the limelight. Trust me, I’ve been there and done that! It’s not an easy industry to get into. Unless you know someone famous..You might be better off publishing a novel. Maybe you’ll get lucky and an agent will come to you. Good Luck!
Who do i approach my movie idea to?
I have a great idea for a film and have a full, novel-length story i have been writing for 3years. I have given it to my friends to read and they loved it and suggested, serioulsy, appproaching a director.
I do not expect it to be an A-list film, but i would like to offer it to a production company to know what they think of it but i do not know where to take it or whon to send it to?
Director, producer, but how do i find a company, who is not too busy to read my manuscript or at least my cover letter?
Please!
Looking for movie title…?
I am looking for a movie title that is about a journalist who is having a hard time writing a piece. He leaves the city to stay with a relative (maybe aunt or cousin) in a small town. He ends up meeting a girl, falling in love, and finally writing a manuscript. All else I remember is the man going jogging with the girl–that is how they get to know each other. I cannot remember the title, and I have been searching everywhere for it. It is a very recent movie…maybe released in 2002-2007.
Does anyone write coverage for incoming novel manuscripts? Is it paid work?
I recently graduated with a degree in creative writing from a top five program. I’m living in Boston, really need a pay-the-rent job and the idea of working for a publishing company or an agent has always appealed to me. I’ve copy edited a manuscript and compiled an index while working as a teaching and research assistant, and wouldn’t mind doing so again, but I had a more intriguing thought. In the movie industry young screenwriters often get hired to read screenplay submissions and write coverage of them – plot summaries, whether they deserve further consideration or not, that sort of thing. The same thing must exist in the novel world, right? But where and how would you find it? If not, what might I look into for an entry level, post-college, pay-the-rent job in the publishing or literary agent world?
Yes that position does exist in the novel world right and it is called Editor. Most editing houses have a lot of levels of editor so they may have positions available. You’d need good writing skills and good business skills to know what is and isn’t going to sell in the market.
