Behind this rather dull web design is a virtual goldmine of articles and essays on writing. It’s mostly advice on the differents aspects of screenwriting, but most of it applies to any creative professional.
Check out their column section for articles, like why treatments are stupid and irrelevant and why you have to write them anyway, inside dope on “The Warner Brothers Hallway Test” and how to make an impressive failure. And while the people behind Wordplay don’t exactly encourage you to become a screenwriter, they do seem to be brutally honest about the pitfalls of the craft and specifically the movie industry.
Sharp, funny and insightful, Wordplay one of the best sites on writing I have stumbled upon.
