Another great article, Lee. And serendipitously well timed for me.
After reading your article today, I am determined to motivate myself to carry on writing, regardless! Thank you.
Great post, Lee. Totally true. Stay on task, guys!
Even when things were going bad, I've never had the urge to stop.. Writer's write. I can never see myself doing anything else!
Excellent article.
When I feel like giving up? I write a logline for my next script. Put the current one on the back burner. Some scripts become writing samples. Just give each script the energy it deserves. :-)
Mario, That's an excellent bit of advice, as each script deserves energy, and we all have the energy, it's just a case of channelling it in the right direction, when daily life gives us so many distractions.
Have a Short or Feature Film Screenplay? Have your script be seen by top producers, literary agents and major production companies. With $10,000 worth of cash prizes... http://www.indystockscreen.com/
