Below are easy access links to my posts on craftsmanship for playwriting and other areas of the drama which will be of special interest to the evolving playwright.
If you are interested in both areas, fiction writing and playwriting, you will find that some of the posts from either side are similar, but have been tweaked better to suit the individual discipline. For instance, the 3-act plot arc structure can be used for plays, novels and short stories, so a bespoke post on this is necessary for both playwriting and fiction writing.
