Screenwriting 101: Eric Koenig

“Write because you love writing. Write because you want to make the reader laugh, or cry, or cringe (my personal favorite). Write because you have an amazing story to tell. Write because it makes you happy. Write because it provides an escape from your normal life (or textbooks). Write because you see a movie in that nightmare you had. Write because you have something to prove. But write.”

— Eric Koenig
