Coen Brothers Forever

I'm so bad at planning general, particularly when it comes to writing. My dialogue is primarily extemporaneous. I may have some idea before hand where I want things to go, but more often than not I come up with something from left field. But I like dialogue. It's my favorite thing to write. And I all too often fall into that group of people who would rather tell than show. And speaking of dialogue, I think the masters of it at the moment are Ethan and Joel Coen. Their dialogue has a lyrical quality to it. Maybe that's the key. Apply the rules of songwriting to screenwriting, it's certainly worth looking into.
