I'm sixteen and I've recently started to take screenwriting seriously. I don't have many resources or much influence to work off of in my daily life so I'm pretty much on my own. I began with barely any knowledge of script terms or formats, but I have always had a natural inclination for writing.
I started off reading a book, which taught scriptwriting, and now that I have a pretty good idea of how scripts are supposed to be written I’ve started writing practice scripts to improve my skills. So far this has been the most helpful method yet. However I still have questions, ranging from beginner to advanced, that I can’t find the answers to:
1. I'm very interested in directing and screenwriting. Before going into college will I have to choose just one or can I do both?
2. What are the best ways to work on screenwriting/directing skills at age sixteen?
3. Who can you rely on to edit/proofread scripts with no one in my local area?
4. In scripts, does the font have to be size twelve?
5. To write scripts I'm using Script Maker Version 3a for Microsoft Word. Is this the tool that I should be using?
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I really appreciate it.
