Screenwriting Dream Killers

Screenwriting is challenging in many respects and the last thing anyone needs is someone killing their dreams.  If you have the drive and passion to take on this career, don't let anyone kill the dream.  Many unsuccessful individuals, no matter what the career, take their frustrations out in the form of smashing others dreams.  Beware of the dream killers in your life and clean house if necessary.

There are many people in Hollywood that are successful simply because they didn't give up when they should have.

Don't Let FEAR stop your screenwriting...

Am I giving in to fear… 

My fears have stopped me from pursuing dreams and goals time and time again.  Fear of failure.  Fear of success.  Fear of overcoming the wounds of the past.  Fear of having the life a part of me knows that I deserve.  Fear of being recognized.  Fear of being criticized. Fear of not being perfect.  Fear of not being good enough… Fear. Fear. Fear.  

Today I look at fear in the eye and say, "No longer."  No longer with I let fear stop me from living the life of my dreams.  As I take daily actions towards my dreams I learn that fear subsides and the true me emerges.

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark, professionals built the Titanic.

What Are The Odds?

I think that many times I have let the odds get in my way of taking my dreams seriously.  I have always wanted to win and Academy Award for screenwriting and remember back to an article that I read nearly 25 years ago which talked about the odds of making a living at screenwriting.  The article said that the odds of being hit by lightening are better than ever making a living writing movies.  Wow!  That type of statistic can surely create a case for not following a dream.  My latest thinking is that someone has to write Academy Award winning screenplays, why not me?

Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.
