“ Story is metaphor for life and life is lived in time. ”
What happens is fact, not truth. Truth is what we think about what happens.
~ Robert Mckee
If the story you're telling, is the story you're telling, you're in deep shit.
When talented people write badly, it's generally for one of two reasons: Either they're blinded by an idea they feel compelled to prove of they're driven by an emotion they must express. When talented people write well, it is generally for this reason: They're moved by a desire to touch the audience.
All writing is discipline, but screenwriting is a drill sergeant.
