Screenwriting 101 — Robert Towne
“I wrote at least 20 different step outlines–long, long step outlines, that got me about 70 percent of the way through it. Finally, after the 20th I said, ‘Well, this is far enough. I know where it’s going to end. Now, I’ll just devote myself to the problem of writing it.’”
— Robert Towne (Chinatown, Shampoo, Tequila Sunrise)
