AdiaMarie asked Christine Riccio:

How has being a film student affected how you write? Would you ever want to go back and add a creative writing minor?

Christine Riccio I think I gravitated toward screen writing in college specifically because I love to write dialogue. And that really showed in my first draft of Again, But Better- THERE WAS SO MUCH DIALOGUE. Like an excessive amount, so I ended up having to cut a lot XD. I actually wasn't allowed to do a creative writing minor since I was already doing a creative major. I took the creative writing electives available and I did all the screenwriting courses I could fit into my four years. The "Film and TV major" might not strike you as a writing degree, because you automatically think - oh they were working with cameras and on a set and all that jazz, but there are so many difference faucets to film/tv. I did the minimal amount of production courses required and for the major was very much concentrated in the field of storytelling/writing.
