learning. When I started writing my first script I had no idea about format
#scriptchat
July 22, 2012, 7:36 pm

writing needed a whole new set of skills. #scriptchat

essentially a set of rules, no one can tell you how to come up with a great
plot. #scriptchat

helped a lot. I work on ads in tv so copywriting really helps you learn to edit
