For the past decade, science fiction stories have captured the attention of many adults and children. It seems that no matter how old or young you are, you can always relate on some level to a good science fiction movie or novel. For most adults, their first introduction to science fiction was through various comic book stories they read as a child. It was back in the early 1950s when comic books first become popular, which included a large variety of super villains and science fiction characters. Some of these early comic book stories featured characters that could see through walls, characters that could move objects with their minds, some that could travel between the past and present, and also a large number of characters that had unusual features and supernatural powers. As the years went by, many of these characters advanced into super human beings, which eventually created their own kingdoms in space and on Earth.

Today I met a wonderful woman named Sally at a cafe in Hollywood. Sally works as a script consultant. Naturally, I was very interested, as I am a screenwriter. So I asked Sally to tell me more about her job.
Essentially, she provides script analysis for aspiring screenwriters. What does this entail, you ask? Sally reads your script, then gives you ideas and suggestions about what works, what doesn’t work and how to fix it. That last part was very interesting to me! Sally will actually suggest fixes for the problems in your script. For me, that’s a god send. Since I write alone, I often have no one to bounce ideas off of.
Because of this, bad ideas can wiggle their way onto my pages. And that’s not acceptable. I am strongly considering hiring a pro to review my first draft. Excited for where this new knowledge will take me.
