8. Writing better dialogue
1 year ago
2. The Remnants
3 years ago
The fourth in my (long-delayed) series of screenwriting scriptcasts showing how I'd rewrite scenes. This one focuses on dialogue, using an actual scene from Lance Edmand's Bluebird. (With his blessing.)

Because it's a longer scene than the others, there's more scrolling. You may want to check the before-and-afters in scrippet form posted at

    Love it. I think I said this on a previous video, but I'm amazed how useful and engaging screencasts of the writing process--especially the rewriting process--are. Yours are the first I've seen, and I'm encouraged to make my own. Can anyone recommend other good writing screencasts?

    What text editor are you using here? I looks like it saves TONS of time.

    That's just Final Draft. I'm copy-and-pasting from another document, which makes it seem more magical than it is.
