If you have a script that’s a complete draft, but know it needs work –
Or a partially completed draft where you’re stuck and can’t find your way out… or a story you’ve rewritten multiple times, but are not yet happy with –
Please remember that
“Writing is rewriting.”
Divided into easy to handle, manageable steps, the rewrite can be the very best phase in your screenwriting process.
It’s never easy. But once you are rolling, that rewrite phase can be fun, exhilarating.
