Bill,
I'm a new reader to your script tip of the day and your blog. This is good stuff. Question: How do you write reversals in a spec script like the Mad Max example? It's all narrative and isn't alot of narrative bad for a spec script? Help this Newbie out.
Thanks,
Newton
All *boring* stuff is bad. You want it to be exciting, and you also want to space it out on the page so that it isn't a big block of black text.
Read some Shane Black and/or Walter Hill scripts for an example.

I just added two script page examples to the tip - the opening scene from THE MATRIX and a scene from LONG KISS GOODNIGHT. Should have done that long ago!

Short statements.
Show the action.
Show some space.
I got it.
Niiice! Good examples!
