Every time Danielle A. Scruggs searched for Black women film directors, she came up with the same few names. So she spent the next 11 years building one of the largest digital archives of Black women and nonbinary directors. My interview: https://t.co/MDchK309wV

One day you look around, & you realize that the person holding you back the most is yourself. By that point, you just gotta decide if you’re going to continue standing in your way or if you’re going to say you don’t want to do it anymore & finally stop holding yourself back.

You get validation from yourself all the time, today you'll get it from others.

Homework: Find something positive that someone told you about your writing. Idc if it's nice coverage, a paper you got a good grade on, a text from a reader, etc. Remember how you felt about a job well done and the praise that made you feel good about your skills as a writer.

I love this. There’s one piece of advice I carried over from my law school days that makes sense no matter what you’re doing: Always remember your why. That‘s what fuels you to continue 💕 #whyiwrite #rememberyourwhy https://t.co/OgpsleJXyd

Trust me I know 😂 overthinking, careless mistakes, doing too much, doing too little, I promise you are NOT alone. Anything you can think of that makes you want to crawl under your bed and live there, another screenwriter has done it too and 7/10 there’s a good chance it was me!

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.” - James Baldwin

Remember you’re not alone in any of this. The bad pitches, stifling introversion, anxiety over your writing, fear of notes, etc. You’re in good company.

Happy Halloween Ghoulfriends!!!! If you’re a screenwriter who absentmindedly bites their nails while thinking of the next scene, how about switching those nails out for some candy today 😂
