    "Master the words to make us forget there are word there." Brilliant observation. So, story tellers need to write with magic. I've read stuff like that, but it's rare . . a necessary talent that I'll probably never master.

    Hi Richard, glad you like the observation. Although the idea seems difficult to accomplish, know the more you write and practice, the more natural your writing will not only become, but feel. You got this!

    If every page of the script has a shape, then the first one looks like a “hook”
