I was reading over my screenplay and I realized that it is horribly written. I mean, the story is solid, and most of the dialogue is okay, but the prose of the descriptions is dreadful. So I’ve been trying to make it read better.

I’ve been reading a lot of screenwriting web sites lately. There are question after question from aspiring, young writers who want to know what to do about scripts with too many pages but there’s nothing about what to do when you’re too short. Probably because the answer is even simpler than what to do when you’re too long: (CUT STUFF) WRITE MORE STUFF, PUNK!

Unrelated: I had the most beautiful blonde curls when I was little. I think we’ve still got them around somewhere in a plastic bag.
