Writing Mantras

Screenwriting Mantras

Some screenwriting inspiration I have picked up along the way.

Enter late, exit early

Get the damn thing done!

Go into the story and find the animals

Make words your friend

Minimum words, maximum impact

On the other hand…

One [blank] at a time

Set aside your attachments

The only way out is through

The story rules

Trust the process

What is the point of the scene?

Watch movies. Read scripts. Write pages.

Writing as Protagonist’s journey

Writing equals butt on chair (*)

Writing is rewriting
