Well, I downloaded my Hollywood Formula Worksheet from Script Frenzy yesterday and spent a considerable amount of time filling it out. Have you ever noticed how many plot points teachers never teach you about??? Like there are kind of two climaxes: the "All is Lost" moment and the "Final Push" moment. Both are very high points of tension. Like in Avatar, the "All is Lost" moment is when the humans destroy Hometree and Jake feels helpless, but the "Final Push" is when they fight the big battle at the end. I guess I've always subconsciously known about this (because I know some of my old writing had this in it), but why don't they teach you about this in English class? Anyways, you really should look into this Hollywood Formula Sheet. It's one of the better worksheets I've seen that helps you really write out your plot. Go to scriptfrenzy.org and click on Writer's Resources.
