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

The Writing Process:
This is awesome.
This is hard.
This is terrible.

This isn’t too bad.
This is awesome.

You may not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. You can't edit a blank page. #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

If writing 10 pages is impossible, write 1 page. If writing 1 page is impossible, write a paragraph. #screenwriting

Being a good #screenwriter is 3% talent, 97% not being distracted by the internet.

A screenwriter’s currency is a finished script. Not an outline, a take, a beat sheet, a rough draft. A finished script. #screenwriting

Just write. It doesn’t matter what you write. It does not matter. Just sit at that desk and write. #screenwriting
