General Directions Monologue from Writing the Photoplay

From Writing the Photoplay by J. Berg (Joseph Berg) Esenwein

any · contemplative · 52 sec

Other hard and fast rules for the practice of photoplay writing are: Do not write on both sides of the paper. Do not fasten the sheets of your script with clips or pins which perforate the paper; there are at least half-a-dozen kinds of paper clips which hold the sheets firmly without permanently fastening them together. The editor likes to have the sheets loose when reading the script. Above all, do not roll your script. If it is 8-1/2 by 11 paper, as it ought to be, fold it no more than twice. That is what all writers do who follow the rules.
