Do you have a story to tell? What are you waiting for? I can’t tell you how many people I’ve met that say they’ve been thinking about writing a screenplay. They tell me their story is really, really, really good and then they add, “I know it would make millions of dollars and win an Oscar. Then I ask, “Why haven’t you written it?” Most of the time, people tell me they just don’t have the time.
One thing I know for sure is we all have twenty-four hours in a day. It’s what we do with our time that makes the difference. I don’t want to offend anyone, but if you are called to be a writer, you must practice your craft. Tiger Woods became a great golfer because he practiced. The Williams sisters practiced tennis, gymnast practice, lawyers practice, doctors’ practice and so must you. Hiding your story inside of your head is stealing your gift from the world to enjoy.
