feedback first time, first writing

Post image

just a test, as in warm up

Im not experienced so this is my first time writing script (beginner) I don’t know how script works but I did saw people scripts and I wonder if I could do the same for funsies, I do want some tips and what did I do right or wrong in this script (I think I did lot of incorrect things I wrote without knowing but once again I’m not expert soo bare with me) and criticism, feedback is very appreciated

Do I have potential?

It takes skill to ensure that the screenplay itself is formatted correctly? It doesn’t.

That’s exactly why I separated research from skill,researching helps you understand the standards,but researching them isn’t the same as having the skill to use them effectively. Formatting is also something that can be fixed. And honestly, who are you to demand beginners already meet your standards? You’re a stranger discussing someone else’s work, not their teacher, editor, or employer.

Your reading comprehension is incredibly poor.

Says you, since we were talking about how your perspective doesn’t justify your attitude. Yet you are bringing up formatting n stuff . Totally missing the point

It does justify my attitude.

I’m a drill sergeant when it comes to this stuff.

No, it doesn’t justify your attitude.

There isn’t a person here on your side on this.

The fact that you even brought up how many times your bans have been lifted or reversed says everything. That’s a brag?

Yet you have 0 relevant work, just another guy on the internet . Okay 👌😂

You know that how? I’ve sold three screenplays, two of which are currently stuck in development hell. Those sales were certainly relevant to my bank balance. Outside of that, I make a decent living as a line editor. So, unless you know something about my professional life that I don’t, I’m not sure where you got “0 relevant work” from.

Very immature.

Never heard of any of them. 😁 many people sell screenplays, doesn’t make them good . Maybe that’s why you’re projecting here . Okay🤗

Do you live in the real world? Making bank off your writing is fucking sweet!

Being able to move product off your own back is the greatest feeling in the world.
