But rewriting can be confusing and difficult even for the most battle-hardened screenwriter. From the screenwriter of \u003ci\u003eTop Gun, Dick Tracy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Secret of My Success\u003c\/i\u003e comes a comprehensive guide that explores the art and craft of rewriting. Jack Epps, Jr. guides the writer to identify the weaknesses in his screenplay by using the pass method to solve individual story or character problems one at a time, rather than the common model of trying to fix everything in one giant rewrite, by taking the writer on a journey from First Draft to Final Polish.\u003cbr\u003eWith\u003ci\u003e Screenwriting is Rewriting\u003c\/i\u003e, Epps gives practical tips on organizing notes, creating a game plan, and then executing a series of precision focused passes that address the major story, character and plot issues. He includes sample notes, game plans and beat sheets from the his own work on films such as\u003ci\u003e Sister Act, Tootsie\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTop Gun\u003c\/i\u003e.
