I Don't know much about the art of screenwriting but she is amazingly fast and creative.
Interesting exercise. Some very good pointers in amongst the frenetic scene creation. Particularly that one of the best ways a character can inform us as to what kind of a person they are is to undertake an unusual decision. This tends to be favoured ahead of conveying through dialogue.
The other solid takeaway: a great way to discover information is to have another character deliver it to them for a motivated reason because "a character taking action based on internal motivations is the essence of drama."
She's good. She thinks and types fast, but I don't think her spelling is that bad as she states, it's just that her accuracy is a little bit off when typing so she misses a letter here and there. I do that too.
