Make Screenwriting FUN.

[Mr. Jet]

Hello.

I love screenwriting and admittedly I did it for fun as a teen. As a result of that, I learned a lot since then (I'm in my 20's now). I just wanted to share my advice on how to make screenwriting fun and simple -- not easy, mind you. You can find it here:http://hubpages.com/hub/Screenwriting-Advice

Thank you and enjoy.

I really like the paragraph about details. It's true. I just write short skits and sketches, but I love imagining an entire world for the characters I write. I also love the little details, like Arrested Development. Obviously I can't have a million callbacks in a 5-page script, but I really love setting up lines of dialogue in my scripts that pay off as jokes later in the video, without really pointing at it directly.
More people should learn that, it makes your script more interesting as you write it. I'm only 15, and my dream is to one day make my own TV show (which I know isn't likely and that's a very large dream). But I already have a huge image of that show, and that's what makes the process more interesting, at least to me; substance.

Sorry to ramble, long story short, I liked your article.
