Never give up! the more u write, the more u create, the more you'll learn and improve! Keep writing & creating stories. Remember, draft1 scripts are always a great starting point to having an awesome final script! ANALYZING & EDITING YOUR STORY & SCRIPT make a huge difference.
EDITING TIPS:
* Simplify!
if u remove a sentence or a string of words, will that affect or change your story? if the answer is no, these words don't help my story >> remove!
* Use SHORT simple sentences!
* Every word counts in your script!
Provide relevant info, give answers to...
Who,
What,
When,
Where,
Why
and How
we should do some exercises on editing to get your script drafts going... hmmm... while i think of an exercise for you, here is a repeat of what i've played for you in class some time back...

How to be your own script doctor By Jennifer E. Kenning
yes, he looks like a nerd and sounds pretty boring. BUT listen to what he says... he's sharing his years of experience with you... and if you get what he says, you probably will be able to grow faster as a master-creator and master-writer :)
CLASS EXERCISE:
GROUPS OF 2.
Exchange your draft1 scripts & storylines. Give each other constructive comments on how the script can be improved.
Remember: there’s always room for improvement and someone else might help point the way to a better script :)
