“They tell us not to follow the stars and that it is blasphemous but the same people tell us the story of Three Wise Men that found the Son of Suns by following the same stars.

We should learn that following those tiny lights that protest total darkness and smile at the moon no matter her mood, is the route to sunrise. Those lights are the seedlings of your own faith in tomorrow...

(Screenplay)”
Nicole Bonomi

Dan J.  Decker
“The symptoms of a writer who hasn’t found their way clear of the needs of Self yet are easy to spot. I should say the symptoms are easy for everyone else to spot, that is, and not so easy for the writer themself to see. You’ll see a writer who does not trust the characters to speak and move on their own, but has to puppeteer them; a writer who does not trust the reader to understand what’s written. One who must insert parentheticals in various forms to explain the work to the reader; flashbacks to explain; big black blocks of text on the page to explain; question-and-answer dialog between characters who aren’t in a courtroom; walk-and-talk characters with their mouths full of dialog of what the story is about; too many stage directions that make the script read like a novel…”
Dan Joseph Decker, ANATOMY OF A SCREENPLAY THIRD EDITION
