“Unlock the Secrets: 5 Powerful Strategies Every Screenwriter Must Know to Ignite Their Motivation!”
So, here’s what you need to expect—brace yourselves:
- You’re not going to sell your first script. “But the writer who wrote Juno…” worked for years as a copywriter, stripper, and blogger, the latter of which led to her writing a memoir that caught the attention of industry insiders. The point is, don’t use anomalies to gauge your expectations.
- You likely won’t sell your second, third, fourth, etc. You need to stop thinking about your scripts as manuscripts for sale and start thinking about them as samples for the true bread and butter of pro screenwriters—writing assignments. Selling a spec doesn’t happen that often in a screenwriter’s career. Even for the top one-percenters.
You stay motivated by the thrill of seeing these movies in your head come to life on the page. Any success you have with them should be considered icing on the cake.
