Screenwriting 101: John August
“Sometimes it’s like, you wrote one really good sentence. You may never get called out for it, the props for it you deserve, but you know you wrote a really good sentence. Unlike a lot of jobs in this business, at least you have the pages you wrote. A director doesn’t have anything unless someone gives him permission to make a movie. A writer can always write a script. That’s one of the great luxuries we have: Words are cheap.”
