#scriptsky Help! I’m going to be putting together a screenwriting workshop together early next year for a local organization. Audience will likely be aspiring screenwriters of different levels who have at least some basic knowledge of the craft. What should I cover?

When something isn't quite working or making sense in your screenplay, hoping no one will notice is not a strategy.
I've tried. Believe me, I've tried. But they notice. They always notice.
Put in the work. Screenwriting is problem-solving.
Get in there and fix it.

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.

Writing isn't magic; it's a process. It can be taught, learned, experimented with, and developed. Given enough study, practice, and workshopping, every single one of you can write something worth reading.
Every. Single. One. Of. You.
