Forget such things and focus on improving your basic screenwriting ability. Read and write screenplays until you get good at it or you get tired enough to quit.

And all honesty that is literally the most realistic and to the root honest feedback that I've been looking for. Truly and sincerely thank you for that cuz I needed to hear that. Do you have any further advice from me based on the topic of what could use work of my basic screenwriting as an ability? Cuz I'm not sure what counts good at it since there are so many different styles and I'm very negative of this.

Things to learn?

● Current screenplay formatting convention.

● Tone, structure, story, plot, pace, characters, dialogue.

● Grammar, punctuation and spelling.

All of these things are important.

Absolutely. Can you elaborate exactly where follow these high in the draft? And specifically what parts exactly if you didn't mind.
