Romance -- It's A Mirror Of Life

It’s February. Romance is in the air. It’s the time when we fully express our love. There are many types of love; the love we have for our significant others, the love we have for our parents, children, siblings, other family members and friends. We are armored with celebrities, sports figures, models, ministers, politicians, and of course, our words. The way we love is a mirror of life.

As a script reader for First Act Script Coverage, I am amazed at the number of people who romanticize the words they put to paper. The most challenging part of my job is to convince a writer to delete a word, narrative, dialogue, and/or scenes that do not advance the story. Why do we fall in love with our words? Is it because we work so hard creating our baby? After all, it takes great pain to find the right word, or phrase to say what we want to convey. Words are the greatest expressions of our selves. We’re awakened in the middle of the night with the perfect word or phrase that will make our writing memorable. Becoming a Word-smith forces the creative essence of who we are to come forth.
