MJB Script Review
Welcome, dear (and hopefully curious) scriptwriters, to my Scriptwriting blog. Here, I break down a different script every week and try to offer up some fresh advice on how that script can help you improve your writing, learn something new and maybe even gain some inspiration. So please, take a look and if you find something useful, just remember that I've included a link to that script online at the bottom of the review. Enjoy!!
