Screenplays are not blueprints - Craig D Griffiths

This is so true An artist I am

Thank you for the comment. Reddit doesn’t seem to think writers are artists. Which I find strange. They seem to hold two ideas. Firstly that a screenplay is nothing until it is a movie. That a screenplay is somehow incomplete. Secondly they get so upset that blueprints are not art. That I would dare suggest that an architect was not an artist. It is like they refuse to take a compliment. I am so happy that you are an artist. We need more.

You can get value out of a blueprint; if you couldn't, architects wouldn't get paid.

Massive value. So much of civilisation exists because of blueprint and the efforts of architects, engineers and trades people. There is beauty in much of their work, but primarily utility. A screenplay has the same but in an opposite ratio.
