@johnaugust god, that was a depressing one this week! 😳 John, I would point your listeners to my podcast where I talk to writers who have broken in these past few years. I think it’s a great ‘state of the union’ resource for breaking in - particularly in features - circa ‘25 👍 CH

We’ve never heard it put better about what producers are ACTUALLY looking for in ‘the town’ 👇 youtu.be/Z6DISRYM30w?...

State of the union 👇 #scriptsky podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

If something in your screenwriting is so vital you don’t want the reader to miss it… Give it its own paragraph. Whether it’s emotion impact or info, the separation helps it stand out and signifies its importance. Short paragraphs do wonders to control the flow and emphasis of the read. #scriptsky
