Helpful Hints
Your script does not have to be long!
But it does have to include all the elements we talked about.
That means it has to have:
A great title
An intriguing first line
A clear beginning, middle, and end
Remember, there should be a conflict, and the story must be told through DIALOGUE!
Props to help us understand the setting and/or characters
Well-developed characters
Remember, we will learn what they think and what their personalities are like based on their DIALOGUE!
