Happy Holidays!
For the next two weeks - the dreaded List-O-Tips! It's the Holidays and website traffic is at its lowest point because people are home for the holidays (including me). So I'm posting some old tips that have been out of rotation and need some repair... which may happen in 2010. No fair peeking ahead!
Come back January 4th for a bunch of brand new Script Tips based on recent movies and some fully rewritten older tips that have not run since 2001!
PS: 2010 is Script Secrets 10 Year Anniversary, can you believe it?
