    Action is definitely my weakness I find it so hard! There’s so many ways to write action/description I get overwhelmed :(

      Hey, now that you know, you can work on improving it! Have you watched my on-demand seminar about writing visual action? (pinned comment)

    This was helpful. I'd like more on writing stand-out action and description. Do you have or suggest any exercises to strengthen this skill?

      Great question! I recommend watching my video about "Reverse Engineering" a movie, and how to use that exercise.
      Moreover, go ahead and watch my free lesson about visual storytelling: storylosopher.mykajabi.com/how-to-show-not-tell

    Very informative. Next time show examples of the actual text(s) in the video. I think it'll help both you and the writers watching you.

      Of course! I do that in some of my other videos and in my online course.

    Is it always necessary to write scene description? Man I never know how much I need to

    • @Storylosopher

      Write it only if its necessary for the plot or story.

    What's the point of grammar in Action lines? Aren't action lines info for director or characters? They are not heard by the viewer. Are they?

      A screenplay is meant to be read and thus experienced. That experience is what gives your script the best chance of getting sold or you getting repped. Grammar is inherently part of that. I recommend you watch this to learn more: ua-cam.com/video/-HUBC57ZYKY/v-deo.html
