UPDATE: December 15, 2002

Since this popular series first appeared it has evolved in shape and content into these select chapters which I deem relevant to screenwriters, both accomplished and aspiring. Updates are added infrequently and only as mood and time permit. The latest addition addresses the two distinct styles of writing a synopsis. The next (whenever that may be) will focus on the rendering of reel-life characters based on real-life people (for bio-pic scripts). Do e-mail me to be notified when new chapters become available, otherwise just check in periodically.
