HELPFUL SCREENWRITING TIP: You're only as good as your next script so skip the one you're working on now.

Screenwriting means always moving forward breathlessly and excitedly, never stopping, never slowing down. Wait. No. Meth. I'm thinking of meth.

If you're ever feeling blue about your writing, just remember that someone greenlit the script for Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny.

HELPFUL SCREENWRITING TIP: Good ideas happen in the shower, but great ideas only happen after you've given up on personal hygiene entirely.

REMEMBER: Your script is more than a stack of paper. It can also be a hat. Or a brooch. Or a pterodactyl.

HELPFUL SCREENWRITING TIP: If you're having trouble getting started on a Vomit Draft of your script, eat some Papa John's pizza first.

HELPFUL SCREENWRITING TIP: SHOW, DON'T TELL

For example:

Don't *TELL* us your character is a baby boomer.

*SHOW* us by having him live in a house he actually owns.

DID YOU KNOW? Hollywood stopped writing intermissions into movies because it got too expensive to add 15 blank sheets of paper to the middle of every screenplay.
