Go-ing Go-ing gone

Hello Screenwriters!!!

One problem I face as a writer is my overuse of -ing- verbs. I don't mean to, it's just, I try not to think when I write. (I know that probably sound odd)

I re-read my script and see sentences such as -John is sprinting down the street- instead of, -John sprints down the street-

The saving grace; I don't have to show anyone my horrible first drafts.

My hope is; the more I re-write, the more I correct mistakes, the more these good writing habits will become ingrained into my brain and improve my future first drafts.

Only time will tell.
