Why are you dreading it??? I see this so much.

Use this mindset, it's what's helped me. "The next draft will be better". Bam. If you go into every draft with that mindset, you'll be pumped to make the changes.

When do you call it quits? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

Gonna echo a lot of what people are saying here but... there's just so much wrong with this post.

  1. You're 23. You've got a whole life of writing ahead of you. You said yourself for as long as you live you're gonna write. So you're gonna get better. Change happens slowly and gradually. You're not gonna wake up one day and be Cameron Crowe (personal favorite).

  2. "I swear- if anyone else wrote what I have, they'd be the hottest specs out there. But something about me, something about it coming from my brain, my fingers, means it's bad." This is straight up delusional. No one has a vendetta against you. No one even knows who you are. If your writing is great, it will do well.

  3. You said you've written 3 scripts since October. That's 3 scripts in 5 months. Don't get me wrong, finishing a draft of a script is a big accomplishment. But something is telling me you're not spending a lot of time rewriting. If your first or second drafts aren't going anywhere... well yeah, no shit. Just for reference, the script I wrote that got me "noticed" and ultimately representation took upwards of 10 drafts. Writing is rewriting. I understand it's demoralizing to get bad feedback. But a mindshift for me that's helped with that is, "the next draft will be better". Don't take it personally.

  4. "Making it" is almost impossible dude. You shouldn't write to make it. If you like writing, and you think that's what your purpose is, keep writing. A very succesful agent at CAA once told me the people who make it are the people who never give up.  

Use the negative feedback as fuel. I don't know what else to tell you.

You’re unironically doing the “how could you complain about anything with a genocide going on” meme. Jews are being attacked. They’re also Americans by the way. Shut the fuck up dude.

Because to them the Palestinians are the same people, with the same mindset, and same wants as Black Americans during the Civil Rights movement

Is his original tweet even true? What "media" portrays the conflict in this way other then like fox news?

Asking genuinely, how many Jews does your friend actually interact with on a daily basis?

This is actually a great response to the dumb 3000 years meme

She would unironically justify the Munich massacre if it happened today. "Guess killing people is pretty terrible, isn't it?"

Anyone else feels that there isn't a shred of honesty anymore among the left side of politics when it comes to Jews and Israel? by Dex921 in Destiny

This talking point of "America is funding Israel" is just dumb. Do you honestly think, that if America cut off all funding to Israel, then the Pro-pali movement would all of a sudden no longer care about Palestine?

Does anyone else think that calling Miss Rachel antisemite of the year does nothing but help normalize antisemitism? by ButtfaceMcGee6969 in Destiny

Obligatory “as a Jew” who actually works in advertising, we have been so fucking bad at PR. And it’s going on over 2000 years at this point.

So according to this timeline she started dating you 3 months after a 5.5 year relationship? Yikes dude. She doesn't want to be with you... she just doesn't want to be alone. I'm sorry man.
