@chelsealeite Just saw you on TV! You were great!!

[Aaron Bala @AaronBala]

Most writers are better at one type of goal over the other, as soon as you find out what kind of writer you are you have to work twice as hard on the other half. So many projects fail because writers only focus on one type of goal and completely ignore the other! Happy writing!

[Aaron Bala @AaronBala]

EXTERNAL VS INTERNAL GOALS. It’s been a while since I’ve done a long form screenwriting tip, but this is one I see a lot of writers struggle with. Let’s dive in! #writingtips

[Aaron Bala @AaronBala]

Batman is vengeance (INTERNAL) attacking thugs in the night, but when he must outsmart the Riddler’s puzzles (EXTERNAL) and understands how his actions are perceived, he realizes he must also be a symbol of hope and a guiding light to others (INTERNAL).

If you only knew how many terrible scripts were being pitched out there, you would stop holding yourself back! #writingtips

[Aaron Bala @AaronBala]

@HeatherBurns But she ordered her steak RARE! It's SYMBOLISM!!

[Aaron Bala @AaronBala]

I am begging you to please stop writing what everyone is wearing into your scripts. This is a story not a fashion show. It's not the shorthand for character you think it is. #writingtips

[Aaron Bala @AaronBala]

Took my kids to The Darkest Dark co-written by @MrIanMacIntyre. It was The Goodest Good! Make sure you check it out!

@alanmccullough @CTV Wow, congratulations! Can’t wait to check it out!

The only way to improve as a writer is to find the people in your life who will give you the brutally honest feedback you need.

[Aaron Bala @AaronBala]

The first step in every writer’s journey is watching something terrible and saying “I could do better than that!”

[Aaron Bala @AaronBala]

It’s a brand new month, now’s a great time to set your writing goals! I’ve got a pitch deck I want to finish by Friday, and a first draft I’m revising that I want to go out before the end of the month. What’s yours?

[Aaron Bala @AaronBala]

Maybe instead of being on Twitter right now, you should be working on that script that could change your life!

[Aaron Bala @AaronBala]

You don’t get the writing career you WANT, you get the career you WORK FOR!
