8 Life Lessons That Screenwriting Has Taught Me
this industry is. So really, in the end just getting through the program with three one-hour TV scripts in hand would be a huge accomplishment. And I found that I ended with that ---- and so much more...This is probably the greatest gift that this craft has taught me. Number one rule for creating characters - your protagonist needs to be active, not passive. Your protagonist should be making decisions, going after what they want, not letting challenges push them around or dictate their story.
Failure is awesome. Seriously. The more you do it, the more you realize how awesome it is. It creates character. It gives you a sense of humor. It pushes you to do better the next time ... or figure out what you actually don't care abut. I 'failed' more than a few times in this program. Failed at turning in homework on time. Failed at communicating the thing I wanted to communicated in my script. Failed at perfect story structure. Failed at socializing as much as I could.
Since I was brand new to this craft, I started out quiet, unsure of my opinions when giving feedback and unsure if the others could tell that. But as I gained more confidence, I spoke up more and formed a thicker skin for receiving feedback too.You guys know how screen-heavy our personal interactions are these days. I mean,But I hope we all have opportunities to connect with real live people. And not just co-workers or family and friends.
I have always loved creative writing. And now I finally know how to turn those pictures in my head into full blown stories.And to me that brings everything I have done with my blog into screenwriting. Here on HHL, I have told many many of my own stories. Some dramatic, some exciting, some funny, some sad. And screenwriting, though it's fiction, absolutely puts you as the writer on the page. We all have so many stories inside us just waiting to be told.Tell them to a friend.
