Uncover the 20 Secret Screenwriting Hacks That Will Instantly Transform Your Script into a Blockbuster!
3) Keep your prose lean but descriptive – If you’re verbose and descriptive, it’s too much. If you’re lean and sparse, it’s too little.
4) Many scripts start strong then get messy – Writers become obsessed with their first act, going back to it again and again to make it perfect, then give 1/8th the amount of commitment to the rest of the script. I can’t convey to you how many scripts I’ve read that started off great then got messier with every ten pages that passed.
5) If you’re writing for studios, write a likable main character. If you’re writing for indies, write an anti-hero main character – Never do the opposite.
