Screenwriting 101: Daniel Waters

“The first draft is the one thing they can’t take away from you, so revel in it. Don’t let anyone tell you that the most important part is the mechanics of it all. The most important part is the initial daydream. If you write a stunningly unique personal mind-blower, you may not sell it right away, but you will get attention. Your name will go on that sanctified list of Talented People To Be Exploited.”

 — Daniel Waters (Heathers, The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, Hudson Hawk, Batman Returns)
