be a screenwriter

I’ve written one short screenplay, and I’m working on at least 10 more. Very very slowly….

I’ve written screenplays, which makes me a screenwriter. But I haven’t done anything with this in a couple years, which makes me no longer a screenwriter. So…enough already.

It’s two weeks into February and I can feel the slide. I need to re-energize my focus and stay the course. Solo things, like writing, take enormous self-discipline. It’s much easier to cheer for others than to push yourself through and do it!

Finishing January slightly behind where I want to be but still moving forward. Now, the hard part begins. Not losing the “new” attitude as the newness of the change of year fades.

Every bit of resolve that went into making the decision that this will be the year needs to be maintained past January. Keep the New Year, New Goals, New Achievements mentality all year long.

Every year I finish a screenplay, market it, fail to sell it. This year, with persistence and the knowledge I’ve gathering, I’ll break through and actually make a sale!

I’ve always loved to write and I’ve always wanted to write a screen play. I’ve had ideas swirl in my head and as I start writing my notes, I start doubting what I’m writing. Then I start a new idea and then I hit that dead end, I start thinking it may not be good enough. I haven’t set a goal for it but I think I will. Maybe in my next entry, I’ll write my deadline for a story and not think about all the negative but try to think of the positive.

Got to have a COMPLETED script to be a screenwriter.
