Hello all! My name is Behnjamin. I wanted to introduce myself. I really don't have any experience in script writing at all. I just have some ideas. I am currently working on script, I have the idea and general plot figured out, I have the characters all worked out, I just have no idea, how to begin the writing process. Sure I can start writing it like a book. But I want to write it out like a script. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Welcome aboard, my friend. You're in the right place. We have over 120,000 screenwriters here and a mil overall. I'd highly suggest checking out the blog, which has over 2500 entries and a wealth of information and hanging out in the Screenwriting Lounge. Great to have you in the community.

Behnjamin Larin Welcome to our creative family. There are so many resources here -- webinars, groups, humans... I've been writing professionally for decades and am learning screenwriting myself. It's a fun journey and I am amazed at how many here have provided selfless advice and are willing to give others a cheering hand.

Hi Behnjamin, welcome! You’re in the right place! There’s great suggestions in the comments. Be sure to start reading scripts. Lots of them. Also get your hands in some screenwriting software. You need to learn how to format properly no matter what , but the right software will make it easier. There are some with free trials or free versions. We have tons of education on screenwriting as others have mentioned. I also love the webinars that break down scripts, here’s an example for you: https://www.stage32.com/webinars/Breaking-Down-the-Script-Succession-Pilot

Behnjamin, I just finished my first comedy script...and my background is far from script writing...my only strength is my love and appreciation for comedy...I did an extensive amount of research on the art and skill of writing a script...and kind of taught myself how to write a script based on all of the valuable resources on the internet....law school made me a better writer...after nine long months....I finished it and entered it into several contests...so far, I've won 1st place in one and a winner in two others....and I have been contacted by a major studio for a pitch meeting...bottom line...follow the yellow brick road...find a professional script editor to review it...then just put it out into the universe...nothing to it but to do it! Good luck! May the force be with you!
