Thanks for the good read on writing, just published my first novel and I was looking for some pointers on turning it into a script, nice blog.

Tip for Ghosts: Use the find function. My ghosts usually are “clones” or characters whose names I’ve changed and haven’t changed it throughout the doc.

My co-writer and I crack up whenever old characters reappear. “Oh, William’s back. Haven’t seen him in a while” when we cut him three drafts back.

Also, this blog is consistently excellent editing advice.

Many times we don’t “think” while we write, we just put words on the page. But then we wake up, don’t we? What happens in the edit is the real stuff. Thank God for that — and thank you for your wonderful editing.
