Crafting a believable world doesn’t mean overwhelming a reader with info. Smart world-building helps your story breathe, giving readers just enough detail to understand the stakes, setting, and culture while keeping the focus on your characters and plot. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

This week over at Writing and Whatnot, I wrote about general meetings and how not to screw them up. One of the worst meetings Shawna and I ever had ended up getting us a job. So every general matters...

As I read pilot scripts for competitions, the biggest problem I come across is a lack of series engine. There's no glimpse into what the average episode will look like or the overarching story, conflicts, or character dynamics that will extend beyond the pilot episode... #scriptsky

Ditching the orphans can be particularly helpful when writing short scripts, where shorter is usually better.
But it's also a good exercise to do during the polish phase, to tighten and tidy up the prose and presentation. #scriptsky

70 pages into a plot edit on the Romantasy script because I made two HUGE changes right at the beginning. It’s so much better now, though.
Then I can go back and do a line edit.
Then a character pass.
Then a remove the widow pass.
So much done, so much more to go. 💪🏻

The clues are there in the Stranger Things finale.
You know how it’s going to end.
So I wasn’t surprised and not nearly as angry as I expected to be.
They did a good job.
Now - let’s do some more shows set in the best decade ever!

No, not all camera directions in a spec script are bad.
If they're enhancing the story, great, but usually, it's a case of a noob writer believing that they need to include these things when, realistically, the director is responsible for adding these elements during pre-production. #scriptsky

A script is well-structured, it flows well, the story math checks out, and yet... readers aren’t responding to it. There’s a good chance they’re getting ahead of the story, ‘cuz it’s too predictable. Here’s a quick #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread on ANTICIPATION and SUBVERTING EXPECTATIONS.
