It's harder to flake out on your work if people are waiting on it. I'll add your book recommendation to my Amazon shopping list. :-) Thanks for commenting! @ Alik Thanks for checking out the link. You're right, the snowflake method is pure gold. It's hard to believe that more people aren't aware of this tool! @ Audra Nice to see you here! Thank you for your kind words. You're correct that the snowflake method is mostly useful for fiction writing. I don't get to use it in my blog writing, for example. I am, however, using it for other projects. @ Sheila Thanks for checking it out! The snowflake method is a great tool for fiction writers to use. @ Giovanna I have come to realize that passion is one of the main qualities that people are noticing about my writing. I've been throwing around the idea of writing an ebook, and I think that passion should be the subject. Thanks for commenting! @ Gennaro

These tips apply to all types of writing, not just screenplays. I too, have heard that Randy's method is great, I primarily write non-fiction, so I don't use it a lot, but it really brings clarity to the work.

The more the merrier. The bottomline is the script is meant for a larger audience. It's not a personal diary. Another idea is to join a group (4-8 people) of fellow writer and review each others work. There is a great book by Peter Elbow called "Writing Without Teachers" that explains the method of peer review very well. <abbr><em>Gennaro’s most recent blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EnduringWanderlust/~3/7s81MQkQlmU/" rel="nofollow">Hotel To Guests: Pay As You Wish!</a></abbr></em> I like the idea of getting family anf friends involved in the writing process.
