Lloyd Finished wordsmithing!
Working hard everyday to become the best writer I can be and as a result I doo become the best writer in Hollywood.
What I learned from this module and this assignment is you really are never done improving the script.
I went through my TV and Streaming version and made sure it was in active present tense voice and no passive wording existed. It is a bad habit I have of writing in passive voice. I eliminated as much as possible. I also went through and really looked at the choice of words I used and tried to find a better choice of words. I went through and continued to wordsmith and improve. This is an ongoing process. I feel like I can go through the script a million times and still find errors.

CJ’s wordsmithing
What I learned here was that my most difficult step is getting rid of distractions–even though I know the story so well, I still tend to keep getting involved in its “big” picture instead of focusing on the tiny details and each and every word choice.
Reading it backwards was the most helpful tool to solve this for me.
