#script

A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor. ↗

But you're not necessarily ever going to be handed a script where you can say: it's all done and perfect. ↗

If it's an excellent script, I enjoy it tremendously, the acting part of it. ↗

I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth. ↗
