Screenwriting 101: Donald Margulies

“Research can be seductive. Writers try to convince themselves that research is writing, but the truth is research is research. There comes a time when you have to say, “That’s enough research” and confront the beast — the script — and start writing. Research is useful as inspiration but it mustn’t become an excuse not to write.”

— Donald Margulies
