Thank you, thank you, thank you sir for your answer. Well said master!

However, I gotta disagree with you on this part.

"I don't consider screenwriting to be an art; I think of it as a craft."

Films are art. Screenplays are the heart of cinema. I believe that screenwriting in its core is an art just like any novel, play, or any other writing forms that aim to provoke an emotion in the reader or viewer.

Thank you so much for great efforts Mr Scott. Really really appreciate it.
