Most screenwriting books are bullshit.
They get you obsessing over structure before you have a character anybody gives a damn about.
And if readers don't care, you can tweak structure forever.
You're still polishing a turd.
You don't need another formulaic beat sheet.
You need to see what's actually broken. And how to fix it.
Structure matters.
But it should be the loose cage that barely contains the wild animal of your story.
