After reading over 1,000 scripts as a screenplay consultant, I've learnt... that very few writers know how to write a sex scene. No one wants to see him "thrust his erect penis" anywhere, thanks.

After reading over 1,000 scripts, I've learnt... that many writers do not know how to offer exposition. Make it dramatic, and create a need for information to be received, either from the characters or from the audience.

After reading over 1,000 scripts, I've learnt... that writers consistently struggle with subtext. Have your characters conceal their motivations and think about what is left unsaid to let the reader deduce each agenda at play.

After reading over 1,000 scripts, I've learnt... that writers neglect their duty to keep the reader engaged. Always give the reader a reason to keep turning the pages by cultivating curiosity about the characters and the story events.

[Nick Fore - Script Consultant @nickfore_]

After reading over 1,000 scripts, I've learnt... that writers often fail to make their protagonist's flaws clear enough. From the first few pages, the writer should be aware of your character's weaknesses and how that invites conflict into their world.

[Nick Fore - Script Consultant @nickfore_]

After reading over 1,000 scripts, I've learnt... that writers often fail to present contradictions in their characters, resulting in bland archetypes. It's vital to create subversions, facades, and changes in behaviour based on who the character interacts with.

After reading over 1,000 scripts, I've learnt... that writers often fail to pose a clear thematic statement.

[Nick Fore - Script Consultant @nickfore_]

After reading over 1,000 scripts, I've learnt... many writers don't understand structure.

An act break only truly comes when a story's trajectory is majorly subverted. Its direction takes a new path and the characters must face a new dramatic question.
