Worried your dialogue is too repetitive? A great tip is to make sure your characters don't repeat themselves when they talk.. #scriptchat

Just got back from Christmas holidays! (Script readers generally require longer breaks as we often work harder than anyone else.)

Fed up of chasing agents & producers? Get them to chase you! Stealing their car keys and running away is a great way to do this #scriptchat

Sick of hearing 'reading scripts is easy, anyone can do it' - ignorant & offensive. Some countries have a literacy rate of <20% #scriptchat

Worried your characters don't 'feel real'? This may be because they're not. #scriptchat

Writing INT in scene headings shows readers that the scene will be interesting. EXT indicates an extra scene that can be skipped #scriptchat

Struggling to sell your spec? Try placing spec inside box and selling box instead. #scripchat

Struggling to sell your spec? Add glue & water, mash, form into snowman & take to local craft fair. Paint first for added appeal #scriptchat

Want to spice up those dull scenes? Probably not a good idea. Spices are great for cooking but can make a script look untidy #screenwriting

Heard that scriptreaders like to see lots of 'white space' on the page? Try changing the colour of your font from black to white #scriptchat

Tip #55: Name people by their profession if thats their only role in the script. Example: WAITRESS, SECURITY GUARD, FLIGHT ATTENDANT.

You don't need to live in #Slough to make it in #screenwriting. But if you're serious about your career, you might want to consider a move.

Procuring cat and pasting into screenplay: hard work. Try using the word 'cat' to show the reader there's a cat in your script #scriptchat
