Five Screenwriting Tips

"Examine your process - how you write the script. Let's say you've outlined your script. You've blocked out time and are coming at it with good energy. You barricade yourself in with a copy of Baudelaire's Flowers of Evil, 18 bottles of Pabst Blue Ribbon or whatever it takes to get you rolling. The pages come out, but look like crap. What the $#@*! Why?! Remember this scene in Amadeus?

God speaking to you lately? It doesn't happen. There are going to be so many rewrites, polishes, trims, tucks, cuts...the script in constant revision mode. Don't be a perfectionist. Don't keep rewriting the same 30 pages."
