screenplay writing has
....spawned
an explosion of
....articles,
how-to books,
....how-not-to
books, and internet
....information
seemingly without
....end.
I've tried to group the
....newer
material in into a

During my career as a writer/producer, I read thousands of scripts by established and developing writers. Some of them succeeded in going into production, but--
90% or more of the ones that were not produced had no chance to begin with.
Why?
Because
they suffered from flaws in their stories.
Imagine how you'd feel as a writer if youcould avoid that trap. Think of how your confidence would soar!
