I’m celebrating the blog’s 18th birthday by shining a spotlight on some of the site’s many resources for screenwriters.
I aggregated some reflections I had posted on the blog over the years into a month-long series called 30 Things About Screenwriting. Here they are.
1. There is no right way to write
2. Screenplays are stories, not formulas
4. Watch movies. Read scripts. Write pages.
5. A spec script will not sell unless it has a strong story concept
6. Write what they’re buying or sell them your dream
7. There are no screenwriting rules
9. When something happens… something ELSE happens
13. Living and writing in L.A.
16. Feet on the ground… head in the clouds
21. If you write a great script…
22. Movies don’t owe anybody a living
23. Story as psychological journey
27. Minimum words, maximum impact
29. The only way out is through
30. Go into the story and find the animals
