If
you want to be a successful screenwriter, the best but oftentimes neglected
rule of thumb is to read other screenplays. Many wanna-bees think that
just because they’ve been watching television and movies since before
they could talk, they can write a script, too. This can be true, but not
without a serious dedication to reading screenplays and paying attention
to structure, character, and plot when watching films, with a little bit
of talent to top it off. These websites offer thousands of scripts for
purchase; that’s right, your very own copy of all your favorites.
For professional advice on character, structure, dialogue, and more take
a look at Script P.I.M.P.’s Writers Workshop. We’ll help kick
start your next draft, and even help with circulation if your script warrants
a recommend. |
