Thank you for sharing your tips and advice. I recently started script writing and every day is a school day. I’ve been writing narrative fiction for over ten years, so I’m having to learn things from scratch. Editing is something a writer can’t skip on, as there will be plot holes, typos and more errors on finishing that first draft. Some writers can be arrogant, thinking that their manuscript doesn’t need editing or proofreading. I can’t stress enough the importance of both. I’ll edit at least twice, proofread at least ten times. I think it helps improve my work as well as omit any errors. As writers we should be giving others our very best work.

I just learned so much in these 11 minutes. thank you, when I am done writing it I will certainly pay attention to the editing portion...this is my first attempt at writing a play.

I know, right! I have the same problem! Sometimes just quickly jotting down ideas for another play helps get it out of your head, so you can focus on your current play.

You rock. This has been super helpful. Freshly subscribed. Thank you for creating a clear and easy to apply list. 🤙🏾

Hello! Thanks for watching and commenting! Congratulations on starting your writing journey. My advice would be to create a cheat sheet for yourself with the rules and properties of your fictional world, and then start writing! Just write whatever comes to mind, with your cheat sheet next to you, and don't edit yourself until you finish your first draft. Once done, give yourself a day or two before you go back and start to look with a critical eye. Let me know if you need any one on one help. All the best!
