4 Days, 5 Power Moves: Crafting Your Netflix Pitch Worthy TV Show Bible Like a Boss

Okay, folks, it's Natasha "TV Maven" Williams here!

Let's talk TV series bibles. Imagine it's like a secret codebook that outlines your entire proposed show. It's a sneak peek into the lives of your beloved characters, the dramatic arcs they'll traverse, and the world they inhabit. If your TV show bible doesn’t scream "binge-worthy", your series might just end up being better suited for a one-off TV movie or feature film. Yikes! 

Here's a heads-up: These power moves can double as a brainstorming session to flesh out your TV show before you even start penning the bible. So, let's get cracking!

Pre-step: Always remember, there’s no such thing as a totally fresh idea, just your spicy, ingenious spin on an old one. So, get creative, skip the snoozefest, and make it a page-turner!

Day One:

• Power Move #1: Start with a killer title that'll get everyone's attention.
• Power Move #2: Pen down your series concept in two punchy paragraphs. Cut out the fluff and hone in on the meaty details that get to the heart of your story.

Day Two:

• Power Move #3: Transport us to your series' universe. Paint a vivid picture of the world where your characters live.
• Power Move #4: Give us the lowdown on your main characters. Who are they? What are they after? How do they interact with each other? Keep it short and sweet.

Day Three:

• Power Move #5: Develop six sample episode storylines. These should be brimming with challenges your characters will face each week. And remember, tension is key! A story with no conflict is like a pizza with no cheese. No, thank you!

Day Four:

Post-step: Time to refine your masterpiece. Make sure it’s engaging, unique, and free of grammar mishaps.

And voila! There you have it, your rough draft bible in just four days! If you hit a roadblock, don't sweat it. Take a break, get back to it later. Don't let a hiccup halt your progress. After all, even the best of us need a little extra time to polish our gems. 

Once you've got a rock-solid bible, it's time to move on to the fun part - writing the pilot episode!

A Quick Dose of Pilot Wisdom

A pilot episode is the litmus test for your series. It's the make-or-break moment, where networks decide if they want to invest in more episodes. But hey, even if your pilot doesn't make the cut, don't fret! It can still be transformed into a spec screenplay.

Did you know that some iconic shows like Eureka and Babylon 5 started as TV movies? That's right! So, you never know what path your script might take. It could become a standalone movie, a sequel, a franchise, or even a spin-off show! Always think about the potential for your script to become more.

In Summary:

• A TV series bible is an essential tool to pitch your series, providing insights into characters, themes, and the show's sustainability.
• Day One: Craft a captivating title and summarize your series in two tight paragraphs.
• 
  Day Two: Describe your story world and give succinct bios of your characters.
• Day Three: Whip up six sample episode storylines, highlighting the conflict and tension in each.
• Day Four: Proofread, edit, and ensure your bible is unique and engaging.
• Don't get discouraged by potential roadblocks; take your time to polish and perfect your bible.
• Once your bible is ready, it's time to write the pilot episode.
• Keep in mind, even if your pilot doesn't lead to a series, it can still be a great spec screenplay.
• Always consider the future potential of your script – it could lead to sequels, franchises, or spin-offs!
• Top of Form

That's all, folks! Remember, creativity may be a wild mind, but it's a disciplined eye. Write with passion, write with purpose. Write on!

Day 55 - Guest Quote: Dr. Wayne W. Dyer – Reflections Of Your Mind

"The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind." -- Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Well, if that is so, then let’s do something with that state of mind, right now.

If your mind was a landscape, what would it be? What “state” would it be in?

Answering these questions out aloud into the room will help describe it in a little more detail.

Now, CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE to make it more to your liking.

If it’s a desert, bring in rain; if it’s a rainy swamp, bring in the sun to dry it up. If it’s a total mess, clear it all out with a nice flood wave and let the waters recede to reveal a whole new landscape, bright and perfect to unfold for you.

Hold that landscape steady whilst you take three deep breaths – and there we are!

Daily Switchword:  POSTPONE CHANGE = To let go of physical and emotional pain.

Day 54 - The Gift For A Deserving Friend

Today, we are going to employ the “magic rule of three”, or the law of return.

This states that whatever ENERGY you send out into the World, it will return to you threefold.

So what I’d like you to do right now is to think of someone you know who deserves far more wealth and power and other good things in life than they currently have.

Think of this person for sixty seconds, and give them a gift, or more than one gift, that will help them realize their potential.

The last gift to send would be your blessings, and your love.

This is a very neat exercise, so do it NOW!

Day 53 - Your Object Of Desire

Pick something that you deeply desire.

Stay away from the usual “off the shelf” stuff and pick something personal that represents great wealth (in its widest sense) to you.

One person picked a great big refrigerator full with fresh fruit and luxury goods, another a big antique library case with precious, rare books; for me it has always been a silver Mercedes – whatever TURNS YOU ON.

Spend 60 seconds allowing yourself fully to think on this, to WANT IT ABSOLUTELY and don’t worry about “how” you’re going to get this – that’s not your problem for the next minute, all YOU have to do is to know it, and to WANT IT with all your heart.

Daily Affirmation:  BINGO = To find the right answer, feel excitement

Day 52 - Ancestors Cheering

At a Wealth Consciousness workshop, I found out that many people are worried that they will somehow displease their poor and hard-working ancestors by becoming extremely rich and successful.

I had a sense that that was probably a misconception, so we did this following exercise to find out.

In a moment, close your eyes and go to a meeting place where you meet representatives of your ancestral lines.

Tell them that you want to be rich, powerful and successful and that you want to change the world through your works.

Then ask them for their support.

You will find that they want nothing more than for YOU to SUCCEED. You are their child, their living representative, and YOUR success is also THEIR SUCCESS.

Let them cheer you and know always that you have THEIR SUPPORT in what you do.

Daily Switchword:  QUIET PERSONAL = Quiet ego and allow self to become a success

Day 51 - Wealth & Power With Jupiter

This is a fast but very powerful “instant meditation” to enjoy POWER, which is absolutely a part of wealth.

Today, you are Jupiter, and as you realize this, you begin to expand and grow. Around your feet, lakes and then entire oceans pool, and you grow straight up and through the clouds, becoming absolutely HUGE. When your head is above the clouds and brushing the stratosphere, you can FEEL the powerful and abundant, fiery energy of the entire Universe beginning to flow into you, to rush into you and when it fills you to overflowing, you raise your hands and lightning strikes! And where your gaze rests, your lightning strikes, and it brings the spark of life to barren planes; it brings great fountains of water up from the earth; it cauterizes and clears away debris and toxic pollution; it raises great mountains and green islands from the sea. This is your power. Enjoy. Reshape the land to your perfection. When you are done, dissolve and by all means, enjoy the fruit of these your labors through your senses and in any way you choose.

Daily Switchword:  FIGHT = To win a competitive game or any competition or competing situation.
