What's up Scribe Tribe! There are so many components and tools for writing an effective script (or any written work), but perhaps the most powerful tool is... OUTLINING!!!

And are outlines something you'll need to learn if you want a successful career in television writing (We're not going to make you wait... The answer to that is YES!)? Listen in as the guys break down how outlines work in a TV writers room and tips for drafting your own outlines in ways that work for you!

As always, we also have the latest in entertainment news, including: 

• Paramount Pictures announce more layoffs

Though some may see it as the least glamorous part of screenwriting, pre-planning before you hit "FADE IN" can help you figure out a path for your writing and reduce (or prevent) speed-bumps and even writer's block along the way.

Join the Scribe Tribe as we introduce some general components to pre-planning like show treatments, beat sheets, and more before we go more into detail on each component in upcoming episodes (and argue about Waffle House vs. IHOP vs. Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles).

And as always, we have the latest in Hollywood entertainment news to keep you abreast of what's happening in the industry.
