Hey!
Yesterday, I visited my old pals at Ali Abdaal’s place for a chat about scriptwriting.
This is what being caught off-guard by Ali looks like lol
It was thoroughly lovely from a social perspective!
But it also prompted a huge realisation…
Scriptwriting tip of the week
I started thinking about how differently I write scripts now…
…compared to when I first worked for Ali (nearly 2 years ago).
The main thing that’s changed?
Quantity.
Through becoming freelance and working for numerous new creators…
…to writing this newsletter and being forced to think analytically about niches I’m not always familiar with every single week…
It’s accelerated my understanding of writing YouTube videos at a much faster rate than if I was simply reading and re-reading my own scripts for weeks on end…
