Anyone ever written a script?

I've written a few. Would be more than happy to give advice too. The primary piece of advice is this:

Write, and write, then write some more, until you have a first-draft length script (a page of script per minute on screen is a common, if often inaccurate measure). Once that is done, spend 20 bucks and register it with the Writers Guild of America before you go asking people for critiques and advice, that way you're protected. You can register subsequent drafts (as often as you like) for twenty bucks a pop. It may not hurt to have people sign a Non-Disclosure before you show them too, just to be safe.

But the key component to writing is writing, and re-writing, and then re-writing. Getting a loose beginning, middle and end on the page, even if they will all change drastically in re-writes, is the best thing you can do, IMHO.

Of course, I could be utterly wrong. it's been known to happen.

Thanks,

Write, write, write, and rewrite; that has definitely worked for me in my limited experience, and I will now try to keep my beginning middle and end "loose" as per the advice

...but I'm not going guild. The guild and their strikin' ways are supposedly a big reason why we do not have PHANTASM V :/
