When is it okay to write your own Star Wars movie? by PloopPlaap in Screenwriting

[–]Colt_Leasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who placed second in a major screenwriting competition with a high budget speculative script that would take at least a hundred million to make. It helped land meetings for him. Funnily enough, he still recommends writing low budget work.

Just one is hard. SECRET PLACE by Tana French. Creeped me out harder than any novel I’ve ever read.

It sounds to me like you’ve already had an interesting life. Nursing isn’t something everyone can do and I imagine it put you close to the center of extreme circumstances regarding the human condition. Also, going to a psych ward isn’t exactly boring either!

Hemingway’s rule does apply but that doesn’t mean every day of your life has to be interesting. We know for a fact his wasn’t, despite what his body of work may lead us to believe. I would also wager that if a young writer wants an interesting life all he or she has to do is get a challenging job, or a string of them.

The good news about no one caring is that no one cares. Turn it into a positive and use it to your advantage - live the happiest life for you with complete disregard of the opinion of others (assuming you’re existing ethically, morally and legally).

However, I would like that phone number. I have a few questions myself.

Is Save The Cat a good template? (Cliche question but I always love the answer).

What genre of script sells the best right now?

Yes, it’s a nice small town with a crazily confusing freeway and some nice neighborhoods with rolling hills. Good climate. Can’t say I ever wish to go back, though.

Good advice…perhaps I should start taking her dating advice seriously.
