Writing

Most of the other posts have been on the collaborative efforts.  Artists are the "superstars" and receive all the attention anyway, so this one will be for us; the writers.  We do a very important job.  One that shouldn't be overlooked so easily.  So...how do you write a script?  My accumulated knowledge from classes, conferences, conventions, books, and the "internets" tells me that you just write it well.  The formatting will depend on what you're going to do with it.  Is it just for show?  For and illustrator?  Or will you be doing it yourself (you could get away with thumbnails)?  Points to consider: make sure it's easy to follow, provide any reference material that's applicable, write it and then see it (if it's clunky or action-packed with words, it may be too much visually), work and rework the dialogue, and don't be redundant in images or dialogue.  Moral of the story: Just tell a good story that you would buy and the rest will work itself out.
