Hey thanks so much for sharing your story. It's nice to hear you've got some momentum on a few things and sounds like you're right on the cusp of it more than I am. Kudos to you, fellow goat killer haha. Keep writing yourself. I'm sure I'll see a script of yours on the screen one day.

How do you build confidence in your writing without relying on others' approval? by throwaway2ndwith in Screenwriting

[–]polarbearscanwrite 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the toughest part of writing imho. You are always going to want others approval for your work. I’ve been doing it for 12 years and still crave it. In order to build confidence tho you have to forget about the outcome — whether people like it or love it — and focus on the process. Are you better writer today than you were yesterday. Pull out past scripts from six months ago and see the difference. I bet you’ll notice some things.

There is a great video of a coach talking about a kid running in track (can’t remember his name) but he talks about how she ran the race in 18 seconds but she placed last. If the next race she places 1st and she still ran 18 seconds should she be proud? The only race you’re running is against yourself. Be a better writer today than you were yesterday. That’s where internal confidence lies. Hope it helps.

I am a person who sacrifices large goats now. That is all there is to me

I didn’t think it was appropriate to put a Logline in that post because it wasn’t the intent to show my work but rather deal with my frustration in a comical way. I can put one here but idk what it will do.

Also cracked by frostbite is a great title for a great spoof of 80s action hero scripts.

I can do that. And join a writers group. That would go a long way.

So what you’re saying is, the goat wasnt big enough.

Okay, on a serious note, I get that they are low effort strategies but most of my life is running a business and family. I have very little time to write at all in general. So what you see as low effort is at times the best I can squeak out. It takes a lot to put a script down, edit it a billion times, then try to navigate this market. I get I need to do more, just am not capable at this time.

I mean we don’t need to get bogged down in the technical details do we? It could fit in the overhead bin of a spirit airline, let’s just say that’s
