Lately somebody stole my laptop with my precious scripts.
I know, I wish him to burn in hell, but this is not my purpose with this post.
Today I went to the Police for my deposition and the officer read me the report they have been working on.
- ...And then? - I asked when he finished.
- Well... As said, the guy has been arrested and bailed, so he will be questioned again in a few weeks, but I don't think we'll get back your computer...
- No, I mean... never mind.
I wanted to mean that that report was the best script I have ever read: it was essential, very visual and full of action, I have been instinctively taken by the telling and intrigued by the plot.
It might have been the best lesson on script writing I have ever attended, and an experience that sure improved my skills.
My advice to Script Writers is to find a way to read police reports to understand how to write a good script.
Possibly without having their laptop stolen.
