Trash

"A story has been thought to its conclusion when it has taken its worst possible turn."
                 - Friedrich Durrenmatt

 Fortunately for readers, the conclusion often involves a trash can.

Self-criticism

"I am forced to say that I have many fiercer critics than myself."
    - Irwin Shaw

While self-criticism washes like a warm drizzle on a summer day, the criticism of strangers soaks like one of those slanting, face-on, pressure washes of winter.

Rescripting

Screenplays improve with every rewrite. You can spend your lifetime rewriting the perfect script. Unfortunately, no one will ever find it if you're dead.

Calling a Screenplay

Calling a screenplay a template is like calling sheet music an outline.
