Writing and Screen Writing Tips

1. Every sequence should include further development of your subplots.

2. Every sequence should advance the characters’ arc to keep the characters growing and changing to meet the ultimate challenge that lies ahead in Act 3, at the climax. Without degrees of growth during Act 2, your characters’ change will not ring true to the reader in Act 3.
