Sitcom Success: Now it’s time to write Act I. This is the fun part, because now you get to put in the dialogue and the jokes. But first, a few things to keep in mind … When writing, it’s crucial to work in proper sitcom-pilot format, so it’s very important that you have a professional formatting program, such as Final Draft, free shareware like Celltex, or Movie Magic Screenwriter.

CREATE AN OUTLINE OF A PRODUCED MOVIE SCRIPT This is a powerful exercise. By outlining another writer’s work, you will stimulate yourself to think differently about the structure of your own screenplay.

I recommend outlining a produced screenplay similar to the story of the script you are writing, which will provide a basis for comparison.
