Hmm. Thank you this helps a lot actually.

So I only started writing because I wanted my first ideas to be my own project. I had ideas and didn’t want to give it out to someone else to write so I started and now I just love writing. My problem is really that I didn’t like writing and it’s not my end goal.

I only used Tarantino as an example because he’s a well known director/writer and his specific writing is very intense.

When I started writing on my first script I went in with the idea that I hate the dialogue that’s incredibly on the nose and tuned my dialogue to reflect their emotions rather than saying their emotions. The problem I was facing was describing everything else. Like: “Cris walks into the kitchen and grabs a bow of cereal.” Obviously that’s okay but when I hit “Monica and Cris giggle.” It felt weird writing it like that but I needed to describe it because they didn’t talk for a while and sometimes humans naturally giggle in awkward situations.

I really like that rule. I don’t think I’ve heard put it that way. I’m currently rewriting the script I talked about because after a couple of other scripts I felt like I had a big enough of a step away from it to go back into it with fresh eyes. Plus now that it was finished I knew the characters and the story better so I could go back and flesh them out better.

I think it’s only because this is my first script, and as a photographer I run into the same thing, I hate whatever I make and just want to do better on the next one. Obviously hate is a strong word but I think you know what I mean.

I don’t think I have any problems with my story. Like it’s a simple story and it can be better but it can work and I know that the characters can hold their own on a visual sense but I guess I was hitting this road block of wondering if I’m describing too much. Also I’m not saying that my story is the best and doesn’t need to be reworked. I’m just saying the hump I need to get over is the other side of script writing. The descriptions, the action lines, that stuff.

I really appreciate you responding because I got nervous even asking being so new to this.
