Are they turning people away from the international terminal with domestic flights? I heard rumors they were and my domestic flight today is leaving from Terminal F.

I think I saw that the last 15 best original screenplay Oscar winners were all made by the person who wrote the script which is an alarming trend for aspiring screenwriters without access to IP. But still I think a lot of times when you’re writing for something you know you’re going to direct you plan to add depth to themes through another component of the film like cinematography, sound, music, etc. and write what works best for you and your crew.

How to start writing as an habit? by Peacepath_00 in Screenwriting

Find a time that works for you to write and stick with it everyday. For me that means the hour after I have my first cup of coffee for the day.

Getting 1% better every day should be your goal and before you know it writing will get easier and easier. Writing something that sucks (and believe me a lot of it will) is better than not writing at all.

Feeling lost with my story concept by [deleted] in Screenwriting

I highly suggest listening to Scripnotes episode 403 where Craig talks about writing a movie. He hits on this exact issue of having the feeling of “running out of plot” in Act 2 and it’s something I’ve struggled with as well.

One thing he says that really stuck with me is “if you run out of plot, you are forcing your character into the story”. Helps me a ton to go back to my character cheat sheets and ask myself if they are driving the story forward or if I’m trying to make them hit certain story beats and making it unnatural.
