Think of all the idiosyncrasies of all the characters, especially John Cage and Ally. When I witness bizarre behavior, I record it in a personal database that includes the action, it s category, and who did it. Don t just rewrite. Review at every stage of development. This is one of the many reasons that screenwriting is like software development.
Reviews are a quality principle, and the key benefit is time savings.
First, write your logline. If their eyes don t light up, try revising it. If they still don t light up, ditch it and move on. Write your character sketches and outline. Describe the characters to people.
