Of course, the bigger question is, "How does anyone know if their script is excellent or not?"

Easy. Pay for decent script coverage or read tons of screenplays.

Writers also need time to think, too.

Just don't get stuck there!

There's a thin line between being vague and overly specific, so aim for the sweet spot.

Thanks to the writer for sending this in. I had limited time, so only really focused on one element.

Really enjoyed the writing style.

Could any of these plot twist variations help your ending pack a more powerful punch?

A slow start, but this script did redeem itself in the end.

These aren't the only ways to disguise exposition, but maybe they'll help get the ball rolling.

We all have the need to vent, but maybe don't write a screenplay about how the industry sucks when you're still trying to break in.

Just saying.

Are you making sure that the reader is imagining each scene exactly the same way you are?

High Concept = Attention-Grabbing

Low Concept = Yawn (apart from Pulp Fiction 🤣, which is brilliant)

Prove me wrong.

Bit of an exaggeration, but I get it. I over-share way too much to total strangers, it's embarrassing 🤣

WRITERS, AUTHORS & FILMMAKERS: Your scenes don't really COOK if they don't end with a HOOK.
