But in the end you need to figure out how to write YOUR SCRIPT.
And I believe that means asking yourself QUESTIONS.
These 6 questions are the most important that I know for figuring out how to turn a chaos of ideas and feelings into a dramatic story.

Hey everyone - this is VERY IMPORTANT: these questions are not a TEST of anything! They don't "prove" anything is good or bad. If they don't always work for you, DON'T WORRY. They are just TOOLS!! They're just to help you with your own writing process! Use them IF they make it easier - and IGNORE them if they DON'T!
-
These questions get straight to the heart of storytelling. I'm finding this very useful for my novel writing.

Glenn, congrats on 1000 subscribers! It is so awesome to see all the hard work you have been putting into this channel pay off. Keep it up!

I 've always wanted to write a compelling story, but I've never know what makes one good. I've tried reading and watching as many great stories as I can and just emulating them but nothing I've come up with really stuck. Eventually I decided to sit down and actually research what makes for good storytelling, and now I'm coming up with much better stories. In fact, I even used these 6 questions to write this comment.

Love you man! From watching your speech in film courage, YouTube suggested this gem. Thanks so much for an exclusive video about these 6...

You are the beloved restaurant that should have Michellin stars but doesn't. Thank you for your bullseye content.
-
I find the questions excellent to kick off a story, character, and plot, but also beneficial as a review when checking the script to search for any weak areas that might need shoring up, because the questions take the story full circle. Thanks!
-
I've been stuck for months due to my anxiety. Thank you for breaking it down like that. I'm excited to start writing again.
-
Thanks Glenn.. you’re a champion!!
-
Thank You for this tool! I hope to use it effectively!
-
Bang! Got it on one. Do these simple things (well, not so simple that they don't contain worlds) and you will write stories - and you will never have writer's block. Much gratitude Glen.
-
Glenn I’m grateful for your channel and the insights you share; looking forward to learning from you!
-
I love watching your videos at the start of my writing sessions. I often find gems about the obstacles I am currently having, either the possible solutions or simply just a better understanding of what the core of my problems are. Thank you for making these kinds of content.

Hi Glenn, Film Courage brought me here. I'm a novelist who loves learning from screenwriters. You got to the pith. Thank you for putting this together. Not only was it super informative, but really motivational as well.
-
So much I learned and so many things got clarified by asking these 6 simple questions! Kudos to you! Great help. Thanks a lot!
-
Very cool. As you say in the description, there are so many paradigms, theories, etc. and while none of them are "the answer", they're all pushing on parts of the essential thing we're all trying to find. I love hearing all kinds of methods like this and looking for the overlaps. Thank you!
-
Thanks so much Glenn for this helpful and succinct guide on story development!
-
I have spent a lot of time looking for these answers to how to write a story and I feel like it takes a huge weight off my shoulders to know that there is content like yours that allows me to easily understand it and that I can tell stories. Thank you.
-
Much gratitude to you Mr. Glen and Film courage that brought me here. You just make it look so easy. Subscribed! Keep up the good work!

There are clear and concise descriptions of the first three questions, even memorable ideas, but the "What do they do about that?" and "Why doesn't that work?" questions did not get as much attention. Few specifics about those two.
