Screenwriting : Advice On Networking For Introverts by Maurice Vaughan

Always a good topic.

Thanks for sharing Maurice, this is an awesome video, and a great one to watch ahead of our Stage 32 meetup in LA and before introduce yourself weekend starts tomorrow.

The key is knowing when to be an extrovert and an introvert.

You're welcome, Amanda Toney. Hope everyone has a great time at the meetup!

Can you explain, Tasha Lewis 2?

Sure! Each word has a distinct meaning and how you apply it to your personal or professional life plays out in the real world. Example when I wear my professor hat, extrovert. When I wear my screenwriter hat, I’m a introvert.

Here’s a great way to become a global networker. I will use in my book and documentary Global Movements Create Global Opportunities.

Great for conversation and educational purposes.

Ok, I see, Tasha. That makes sense. Thanks for explaining. I was an introvert in school, but I was an extrovert around friends and family.

This is a fabulous video - RB is such a great resource and this topic is important for so many creatives. Thanks, Maurice!

You're welcome, Sam Sokolow. You're 100% right.

Excellent analysis, RB, on pro relationships and tribal connections. I also tuned into your thoughts about creating mini-goals for yourself. I recently retired from professional acting and can recall making promises pertaining to my stage and screen work. One promise was that one day my name would appear in the end credits of a television show. I would eventually make that happen in three episodes of the supernatural anthology series, A HAUNTING.

Another promise involved acting in shooting scripts that were written by me. This occurred twice: PARTY OF 50 (Comedy-Drama feature; 2013) and I'LL HAVE ANOTHER..." (Thriller short film; 2016). Shifting from acting to screenwriting has been a pretty harmless process. One strong asset I bring from the acting world is the harsh reality of rejection thus I've become very thick-skinned over the years. This skin of armor should definitely come in handy as I continue to churn out scripts! Thank you, Rich, for your continued guidance and nurturing encouragement. STAGE 32 is an EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENT! : )

Congratulations on keeping those promises to yourself, Bill!!! Thick skin is needed in screenwriting. I've developed it more and more over the years. It's definitely helped me with receiving feedback.

Great share as always Maurice Vaughan . Particularly in this business it can be even more daunting when you’re an introvert, but to know that it is ok, that you’re not alone and your voice still matters is a huge help to everyone.
