Building Your Craft

What is something you can do for your craft this week?

Read a script that is getting great reviews. The more you read fabulous scripts, the more you innately begin to develop an understanding and taste for what makes a good script which in turn will help the development of your own scripts. Can you set a goal to read a script a week, or 1-2 a month? This is research. This is developing your craft. Read the blacklist scripts or some classics.
