STRUCTURE IS THE ESSENCE OF SCREENWRITING AND THE FUNDAMENTAL TOOL IN A GOOD SCREENPLAY.   BUILDING THE CLOTHESLINE TO HANG YOUR SCREENPLAY ON IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES, BUT ALSO THE MOST REWARDING WHEN YOU GET IT RIGHT.  IT WILL SAVE YOU INNUMERABLE DRAFTS, GIVE YOU A SKELETON TO BUILD FROM, AND ENSURE YOUR CHARACTERS HAVE STRONG INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL GOALS AND THAT THEIR DESIRES AND PASSIONS ARE THE CENTRE OF YOUR SCREENPLAY.
