emotional self-improvement fluidity
The fluidity of thought is based on the flexibility of beliefs and the emotional boundaries surrounding them.
writing easy deceptive
Good writing is deceptive in that it hides its own artifice - it makes it seem easy.
self-improvement lines action
Line up your thoughts up for potential, take action and success will follow.
self-improvement way knows
If you only know something one way, then you don't really know it.
perception self-improvement process
Failure can only exist from stagnant perceptions. Everything is a process of learning and if you learn something useful, you have success.
stories mediums good-story
A good story is a good story, whatever the medium.
mediocre screenplays
My God, there are so many mediocre screenplays out there.
writing doe private-parts
The best writing really does come from the deepest, most private part of you.
writing tasks scripts
Writing a great script - not just a good one, but a great one - is almost an impossible task.
commitment thinking self-improvement
Changing how you think costs you no money and it takes no special talent. It does take a commitment on your part to be different.
writing ideas two
I can write two scripts concurrently, but I usually prefer to do one at a time. However, I also usually have 5 or 6 story ideas that are percolating in my head at any one time, so it can get a little crowded in there.
self-improvement world improvement
All thought is created, therefore we are all creators of whatever world we live in.
lonely real writing
In live-action, writing, production, and editing happen in discrete stages. In animation, they overlap - happening simultaneously. This allows a real dialogue to occur between the writer, the director, the actors, and the editor, and it makes the writing process a lot more collaborative and a lot less lonely.
writing self-confidence way
I like to begin every screenplay with a burst of delusional self-confidence. It tends to fade pretty quickly, but (for me, at least) there doesn't seem to be any other way to start writing a script.
