After screenwriting for 28 years, I'm convinced the two most important factors in selling a spec are: 1. The quality of the logline. 2. How well you fulfill the promise of that logline. Yes, there's space outside that (thank goodness), but that's what gives you the best chance. -------------- Interested in #screenwriting?

I learned this way too late in my screenwriting career. Always have a specific goal. Always have an outcome that you want. This is true for everything else in this career, too. Never write a script, never rewrite a scene, never say "yes" to anything without knowing exactly what you want out of it. Intentionality force multiplies effort. -------------- Interested in #screenwriting?

You don't need to be screenwriting every day. You don't. It's certainly a fine habit, but it's not a necessity. You just need to write consistently enough that it trains your mind to think like a screenwriter- to take in the world through the filter of a storyteller. Do that, and you'll never run out of ideas, you'll never run out of empathy, and you'll never run out of a desire to write. -------------- Interested in #screenwriting?
