I'm learning one thing is certain. That no matter the accomplishment, you have to write every day. No days off. It doesn't have to be a marathon session where you vomit out thirty pages. Perhaps it's just forty minutes of staring at the screen and correcting typos. Maybe an hour of research for a new idea, or a quick outline. Whatever it is, I must maintain the routine. Permission for a day off leads to another.
A day away from finishing my third screenplay, I am back to the second again. The third is relegated to a drawer for a week or so. Hopefully it's also somewhere back in the dim recesses of my subconscious getting better as well. Soon enough I'll return and start the real work on it. For now though I'm back to a final (I hope) polish on #2.

Impossible Pig? Every aspiring screenplay writer is told the same thing-ad nauseum. Success is almost impossible. Over 100K screenplays are registered every year. Hollywood produces maybe 10-20 films a year from new writers. The math is obvious. Impossible dreams. When pigs fly. This is about me beating those odds.
