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.

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.

Day 49 - 60 Second Power Meditation

This is a WONDERFUL “power booster” prayer come spell come affirmation.
Take a deep breath.

Put your hands on the center of your chest (where your lion heart of energy resides).

Breathe deeply in and out, three times.

Now say out aloud, and in your best powerful resonant voice:

I am powerful.

Let the statement ring out, breathe in and out again, and say:

My heart beats strong.

Let the statement ring out, breathe in and out again, and say:

My mind is clear.

Let the statement ring out, breathe in and out again, and say:

I am ready for action.

Give a brief bow – and go straight into ACTION!

Day 48 - Prosperity Sunrise

In the olden days, the sun and gold and god and prosperity were all tied up together.

The sun is a powerful prosperity and wealth symbol, perhaps the most powerful of them all.

So in a moment, close your eyes and find yourself on a wide, sweeping plane, cool and dark it is still but there is a banding on the far horizon that tells you the sun is about to rise.

This is your prosperity sunrise.

Feel the power and radiance of the sun increasing as the sky fills with living light, as it gets brighter and brighter, and then the sun rises majestically over the horizon and floods the plane with light, bathes you in light, powerful energy, powerful charge and powerful wealth.

Accept this blessing with open arms.

Turn around on the spot and bathe in this blessing of wealth and power.

When you are filled to overflowing and beyond, return and continue your day …

Daily Switchword:  LIGHT = To be inspired, lighten load, mood or stress

Day 47 -  Bonus Marketing For Motivation

You know how folk add “bonuses” to their original core product in order to get people to buy?

It’s a kind of an auction, where you stack up more and more until a threshold breach occurs and then the action takes place – the customer hits the “buy me now” button, the bribed official crumbles and looks the other way, the lady who has been wined, dined, gifted and complimented sighs, “Yes …”

Someone who knows about bonus marketing used this on me today. They kept on upping the offer until I finally said yes and got in the car to drive to their house!

In a moment, think of something you really don’t want to do (but it would be good if you did!) and then, make a list of bonuses you can use to motivate yourself to get up and do it – now!

“If you (phone the accountant, pay your taxes, fire that lazy employee, finally sort out your credit cards, etc etc), then I will (give you a weekend holiday, buy you a new car, let you spend the weekend in bed, allow you to write that novel, etc etc etc).”

This is a fun exercise, so … have a go!

Day 46 - “I like Money and Money Likes Me”

I’ve noticed that many people who aren’t as wealthy yet as they would like to be have a very ambivalent attitude towards money.

Imagine money was a person, and you’d be constantly thinking how evil they were or how they would lead to your downfall, how they might rob you of love and honesty and all of that, EVEN whilst you’re pretending to be nice and wanting to be their friend!

EEEOWH!

So today, let’s put aside all the old fairy tales, forget all of that nonsense and we’ll simply say:

I like money,

Money likes me,

That’s the way

It’s s’posed to be!

Three times is the trick, and if you can clap along and tap your feet, your whole body becomes involved in learning, and in remembering.

Daily Switchword:  COUNT HOLE = To draw more money to yourself

Day 45 - Wealth In Its WIDEST Sense …

At a MindMillion workshop, there was a demonstration with a participant, trying to get her to be excited about wealth – but it wasn’t happening.
She just stood there all grim and resistant – until the instructor said, “Open yourself to wealth – in its widest metaphorical sense …”
Then she sighed happily, eyes closed and this soft big smile spread from her lips through her entire body and she nodded, “Yeaahhh …”
So today, I would ask you to spend one minute closing your eyes and considering what “wealth of what” would make you sigh with pleasure and smile all over.
A wealth of love? A wealth of respect? A wealth of service? A wealth of sex?
Well you know what you like – right?
Wealth is a many splendored thing … and your 60 seconds starts right NOW.

Daily Switchword:  ACT COUNT = To increase money

Day 44 - Wealth Dam Buster

You’ve heard it said that there are OCEANS of money all around us, right?

BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS just circulating EVERYWHERE.

So imagine for a moment that you are right here, and there are these OCEANS of money all around you – and what is stopping this from flowing right to you, through you and out again in a harmonious and highly profitable cycle?

Where’s the wall, the blockage, the dam that is stopping all this abundance from coming to you?

When you have found this, just take your intention like a laser and make a few small holes so that a little of that tasty nourishment can reach you today.

That’s often better than a flat out flood wave to begin with ☺ - but by all means, make these breaches larger and larger until you have an exciting flow and you can FEEL this coming to you!

A great exercise this, and a great way to start the day!

Day 43 Can the Archangels Help?

Here, we have an interesting exercise to call in the big cavalry – the Archangels, Michael, Uriel, Raphael and Gabriel.

First, we have to orient ourselves in space. Figure out where due south is from where you are facing right now. It doesn’t have to be that accurate, roughly right will do, and if you really can’t figure it out, make a decision right now as to where south is going to be for the purposes of this exercise. The Archangels are very forgiving of human fallibility and won’t hold this against you.

In the south resides Archangel Michael.

So now, stand up, turn to the South and ask in your own words Michael to help you out, for whatever you need help with right now.

When you have made your request, give a bow and turn to your right.

That’s west, and here we find Gabriel.

Ask Gabriel for help, give a bow and turn to the right again.

This is the north, and Uriel.

Ask Uriel for help, thank it with a bow and do the last right turn.

Now you are facing east, and that is Raphael.

Ask Raphael for help, bow.

For a moment, stand in the center and breathe deeply, then thank them all globally and – return to Earth!

Daily Switchword:  DIVINE = To work miracles or extraordinary accomplishment, increase personal ability

Day 42. “I have a credit card and I’m not afraid to use it!”

Mastering Your Mastercard … well that’s a fine title, don’t you think?
Look, a credit card is like a DOG – either you get it under control, or it will control your life and drive you crazy. And cutting up your credit card is like the ultimate admission of DEFEAT – I can’t control my dog so I shot it!
So today, we’re going to release our fear of our credit cards and get our head around the fact that they are very, very useful and can be a tremendous ASSET in our lives – but we must stop being afraid of them first!
In a moment, close your eyes and imagine your credit card (your first, your favorite, your worst!). Take a moment to consider that you’re many times bigger and you have hands and all of that, whereas the card is a very small and flat piece of plastic!
It’s no contest!
Flip the card from one hand into the other and understand that it’s just a form of reverse bank account and that you have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to fear from this, and much to gain if you TREAT IT RIGHT.
Finally just shrink the card to the size of a stamp, then an ant, then make it implode altogether and – go to work!

Day 41 - Keeping Your Eye On The Ball

Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in our day to day doings that we forget why we are doing what we are doing.
So today, let’s take a deep breath and remember back to when it was that you started out on this business, this path.
Why did you choose this?
What was it about this that excited you above all else?
What is your business all about in the greater context of your life?
This is what it’s all about – even if you’re doing something mundane or boring.
And it is good to remember that sometimes.

Day 40 - Guest Quote: Calvin Coolidge

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Geniuses will not; unrewarded geniuses is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” Calvin Coolidge

Calvin is RIGHT! Talent, education and genius are nice if you have them, but SUCCESS comes from perseverance.

From going back into battle again, and again, and again, and then again.

Let’s take internet marketing. When I started with that, coming up for ten years ago, there were loads of people around then, just as there is now. Ten years on, and out of everyone I knew back then, I am the only one still standing!

I was utterly hopeless back then and still am not exactly a “born marketer”, but you just CAN’T do ANYTHING AT ALL for that long and NOT get reasonably good at it!!

So today, I want you to use our 60 seconds of thinking of something you tried at one time, didn’t succeed and gave it up for a lost cause. Something, that if you had another go and managed to get even a little bit further would seriously help you get wealthy, powerful and happy – right now.

39 The Bigger Picture

Today, we have a simple thought exercise that helps us learn to “zoom” better because when you have an empire to run, you need to be able to return to the “bigger picture” now and then!

We start simply with a valuable object, such as a diamond ring, or a large golden coin.

Now, zoom out and note that this is a part of a treasure chest.

Zoom out again – WHERE is this treasure chest? It is standing on …

Zoom out again – like you are seeing the landscape where the treasure chest is from a hot air balloon.

Zoom out again – see the landscape from a high flying jet plane.

Zoom out one more time – see the entire planet upon which our chest is located.

Now reverse the movement until you are back with the coin in the chest.

Pick it up, put it in your pocket and – well done!
