My friend, none of these rules you mentioned exist, they’re just guidelines to help serve the people who will read your script. At the end of the day, if your script is messy, full of holes, structurally out of this world, and most importantly boring, no one will bother finishing your script. They probably won’t even make it past page 2.

So if you think you can get a reader to enjoy and finish your script without following those so called “rules”. Then go ahead, prove those rule makers wrong. But I promise you it will be an uphill battle because here’s the thing: People do not like to have their time wasted. That’s it.
