Screenwriting The Art and Craft of screenwriting itself. Everything about the writing process, from generating ideas, story structure, how to write dialogue, how to build your ending - all the way through to how best to handle those devastating fifth draft rewrite notes. Blank page to final draft - writing and rewriting - all that entails.

Nothing will happen to you. You are not required to register a screenplay with the WGA.
