“Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.” ― Seth Godin, Poke the Box
Hi, I’m gonna talk a little bit more about screenwriting and producing and their relationship. Uh, yeah, the first thing you need to know, if you’re gonna get into screenwriting is to be serious about it, because if you’re not, you’re gonna wanna give up after the 10th or 20th or 30th version of “No”. And you’re gonna hear a lot of no, or a lot of things like, I don’t understand what you’re saying here. This needs to be clearer. Uh, what? No, this really doesn’t do it for me. Things like that.
Hi! Well, today, I just want to talk about where I want to go next with this channel and with what I’m doing in general.
An interesting thing happened to me during the horrible collapse of my book sales and income in 2011/2012. I ended up making the quarterfinals in a screenwriting contest!
At this point, I reached a definite crossroads in my career. Should I pursue screenwriting seriously? At my age???!!!
Hi, I have another book review today: The Eight Characters of Comedy.
Now, this book. The thing is, I think even though it’s geared towards acting, there’s a lot in here for writers. It is a guide to sitcom acting and writing. And that tells you how important it is to when you’re writing screenplays to think about the characters.
