Screenwriting 101: Ron Bass

“I’ve always felt that writing was communication — not showing off how articulate you are, or showing off your vocabulary. It’s about making your reader see in his or her mind exactly what you see in your mind. And when I say ‘see,’ I don’t mean just intellectually. I mean emotionally and viscerally as well as with the mind — ‘see’ with feelings.”

— Ron Bass
