How to write a screenplay about love
How I did it: I came up with a story. I came up with a premise: "love alleviates suffering". I designed the characters and figured out their spines. I wrote a brief outline. I wrote and rewrote the script. It took me about 3 drafts and is 7 pages long.
Lessons & tips: Always have a premise. Always have rising conflict in a scene. Don't have jumps in character arcs. action comes from conflict. Write from what you know and what is most personal to you.
Resources: I took a screenwriting class based on "The Art of Dramatic Writing". Celtx screenwriting software.
