This week's episode finds Craig and John answering questions about agent etiquette, business cards and those troubling rewrites that unravel everything.
From there, John goes on a small tirade about weak verbs and Dungeons and Dragons-style scene description. Good writing: It's not just for novelists.
There's some language geekery as well, with a look at the hidden micro-classes of verbs that prevent a reasonable speaker from saying things like, "Whisper Tom the joke."
All this and more in the 42nd installment of Scriptnotes.
