“Unveiling the Truth: Is Your Script’s Page Count the Secret to Hollywood’s Heart—or Just a Myth?”
My biggest and best advice in hindsight after 20 years in the screenwriting trade—with 10 professional and produced (two are about to be) contracts between 2021 and 2024 (with more on the way)—is this: You need to train to write like a pro screenwriter.
Pushing that training off by writing overly long scripts and vomiting out terrible drafts will get you nowhere.
Start now. I implore you. Trust me. Learn to train yourself how to write fast, and well. (Check out my eBook on how to write lighting fast. If you want to learn how to be able to write under strict deadlines, let this book be the guide you need. Learn from it, take what you like, ditch the rest, and create your own process using the shared guidelines and perspectives.)
