Great video! As a screenwriter, I found Paul Chitlik's advice on rewriting a screenplay to be really helpful. His step-by-step approach breaks down the process into manageable chunks, making it feel less overwhelming. I especially appreciated his emphasis on strengthening structure, characters, and drama - it's easy to get caught up in revising individual scenes, but this video reminded me to keep the bigger picture in mind. Thanks for sharing your expertise, Paul!

How many drafts will you write during your writing process?

[CanYouKeepSecrets]

How to get rid of the thought to edit the draft too many times, because it seems to be endlessly written.😢
