Trying to fix a bad line – sometimes a writer will try to make a defective line work by adding a parenthetical to explain what they meant to say. The problem here is that the parenthetical doesn't actually fix the line at all, it's kind of a Band-Aid. The best thing to do is make sure all of your dialogue works and is understood without the parenthetical. If the line isn't clear, work on it until it is.

Overly controlling – and sometimes the writer is micro-managing the script and wants everything to be *exactly* as they envision it, without the slightest difference. “This line must be delivered *exactly* like this!” These screenplays are usually the ones with all of the shots broken out as well. The writer doesn't want to leave any room for interpretation or change. Film is a collaborative medium and everyone involved is some form of artist. Not only will they want to interpret your screenplay, you will *want* them to add their artistic skills to yours. The sum is greater than the parts.
