Some of the best writing advice I've come across is available gratis on Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio's magnificent site Wordplay.

If you don't know who they are, you certainly know the films they've written: Shrek 1 & 2, Aladdin, and the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. So they know whereof they speak.

Anyhow, the reason I'm bringing this up is that for the first time in over a year there's a new column up. Three, in fact.

These were started back in the day on AOL (which shows you how long ago it was), and give a ton of useful advice on screenwriting. I can't recommend 'em too highly.

You can catch up on the columns here. There's 48 of them so far, so expect to be some time.

Gold dust.
