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.

The way you think either stands in your way or assists you in achieving your goals.

Who you think you are is only a thought.
writing thinking rocks
The number one metaphor I have in my mind for writing a screenplay is that...you're trying to climb a mountain blindfolded. And the funny thing about that is, you think, 'Okay, that's hard because you're climbing up a rock face, and you don't know where you're going, and you don't know where the top is, you can't see what's below you...' But actually the hardest part about climbing a mountain blindfolded is just finding the mountain.

Good writing is deceptive in that it hides its own artifice - it makes it seem easy.

The fluidity of thought is based on the flexibility of beliefs and the emotional boundaries surrounding them.
self-improvement lines action
Line up your thoughts up for potential, take action and success will follow.

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.

A good story is a good story, whatever the medium.

My God, there are so many mediocre screenplays out there.

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.
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.
