      If you want to be successful as a screenwriter, you need the backing of your loved ones and a long line of credit.

      I received a 5 score from an old spec that got optioned and secured representation way back when. I challenged it, they offered me a half price review and it came in at a 7. Useful notes though.

  18. I think I'm using the term PRELAP wrong? I'm using it for a VO that starts before that scene begins. Is that correct?

      Like I said SBBN, different strokes…I'v been writing professionally for 17 years. I'm not on the same page as August, as much as I admire the man. For me, VO=Voiceover, OS - off screen

      Sbbn -- a voiceover is when a character addresses the audience directly like a narrator. When a character is heard but not seen onscreen I would use OS, never VO which implies narrator duties. But different strokes for different folks...
