Something that I've learned about writing. When your revising you have to ask yourself a question. What does each chapter in a story or scene in a screenplay actually accomplish? What are the characters trying to accomplish? What is the emotional tone of the section supposed to be? And did you achieve both of them in the fastest way possible.
Another tip: If there is non-dialog I should be asking myself, what is the purpose of this non-dialog? Then, how can I say it in the least words possible? Or have I said it all ready in the dialog?
