CAVEAT

I think screenwriting is an organic, ever-developing form, based on universal principles no one really knows.

I think there are no set rules, formulas, or universal truths which can be applied to every script of film out there. Not the most sacred! But I could be wrong.

Thus, what you will find here are thoughts. No sage advice, no guru talk, no trying to make universal rules.

I’m not looking for the truth.

I just, once in a while, come up with things that help me in my writing.

I’m not looking for the truth.

Those same things that may help you, or not.

I’m not looking for the truth.

You might agree or not.

Just trying to have some fun while I do the thing I love most in the world.

HI

The funny thing is that I never intended to start blogging.

I am a writer living thousands of miles away from sunny California: in sunny Spain. As many of you, I am devoted to the craft of screenwriting.

And as many of you, I try to learn it from every book, article, quote or blog.

One day, I read myself on my favourite screenwriting blog (Mystery Man on Film), and I thought maybe I should share some of my thoughts. Who knows! They might be useful for someone

Just as the thoughts of many others help me all the time.
