Tonight's guest was producer Barri Evins @BigBigIdeas talking theme, structure and outlining. Storify site wasn't working, so I had to copy the transcript from Twitter. To read, please scroll down to the bottom and read backwards. If the site starts working, I'll grab an easier transcript to read. Apologies! @jeannevb
REMINDER: Next week, there's no chat due to Memorial Day.

Last pice of advice - structure is right there at the end of your arm. stretch out your right arm, point fingers up: screenplay! #scriptchat
