A few folks posted comments the other day, requesting I talk more about the business of being a working screenwriter. A big part of that is, frankly, paying attention to market trends, which is why I post about pitch and spec script deals, spec script deal analysis, shifts in leadership at movie studios, and so on. But what I think I heard was more about the do’s and don’ts of screenwriting as it relates to living and working in Hwood. So without further ado, a Do and a Don’t.

Do: Regularly generate story concepts
