I love the wisdom in this post. "You can catch up to many of the so-called more talented writers by outworking or outlasting them." Great advice for any skill or challenge in life. Grit and resilience are crucial to success.
After writing professionally for 27 years and teaching for almost as long, here is my not-so-secret way to be a more talented screenwriter. First, understand that screenwriting is not a single skill. It is a combination of skills working together to create a whole. Choosing

When you first start screenwriting, you ask someone to read with the question, "Is this any good?" A professional does not do that. A pro shares it with a trusted reader asking, "Does this achieve what I am trying to achieve?" That's where you want to get with your writing.

Excited to have my baseball short story "Chasing Zero" featured in Frayed: Held Together by Hope, the newest story collection from Elk Lake Publishing. If you're interested in stories with redemptive themes, I think you'll enjoy this story collection: https://t.co/2G4nKzBVGh

One of the most constructive screenwriting notes you can give a writer is, "This is where I started to lose a little interest." It sounds harsh, but it is the exact thing they need to know.

A professional writer is an amateur who didn't give up. #screenwriting

If you want to write, you can. Fear stops most people from writing, not lack of talent. #screenwriting

A bad script written is still better than an amazing one that isn’t. #screenwriting

I’m writing a first draft and reminding myself that I’m simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles. #screenwriting
