TIP OF THE DAY

As a screenwriter, you will most likely have many deals fall through. And a lot of those deals will get very close to becoming real just before they fall through. And this will happen more often than getting a project produced. Embrace it, it's all part of it.

The only way to survive the inevitable heartbreak of being a screenwriter, I have found, is to variegate your workload.

Having a variety of projects in various stages of dev. makes it much less crushing when one (read: most of them) falls apart. You mourn, then happily move on.

Question: How many drafts does it take you to "finish" a #screenplay?

[Ben Johnson Jr. @BenJohnson2018]

5 LESSONS I’VE LEARNED:

1. It’s okay to celebrate other writers’ successes.

2. There’ll always be ppl more talented than me, & that’s okay.

3. Not everyone will❤️my writing, & that’s okay.

4. Being nice takes you far.

5. Hard work trumps talent.

We have words for writers who are working professionals. Copywriter. Screenwriter. Author. Journalist. Lyricist. Columnist. Essayist. Critic.

You don't need to be paid to consider yourself a writer. If you write, you are a writer. Don't let anyone else tell you different.

[Scott Myers @GoIntoTheStory]

When introducing characters in a script, focus less on physical description, and more on their psychological nature and personality. "They're the kind of person who..." #screenwriting

Screenwriting tip: even for features, learn to outline! When you go in and pitch for an open writing assignment, you’re going to have to outline the story so then you can create a good, well thought out pitch. ❤️

Let me be clear: neither one is better than the other. It all depends on what story the writer wants to tell. 📺🧡#screenwriting
