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.

why would I set up an offshore account? all that money wet and sinking into the ocean?? no thank you.

I could see that. I really could.

To discourage the picket lines studios have removed sidewalks and shade trees and next they're unleashing Old Man Withers wearing a rubber zombie mask.

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.

Amens!

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.

i just flew in from Saturn and boy are my arms vaporized.

Same to you JVB! All's well here and the tequila is flowing! :0 Cheers!
