SCREENWRITING PASSION POSTS
I love to write screenplays. It’s been my welcomed addiction since I was a kid. Each and every page I’ve written has taught me something new about telling the stories I want to tell. I’ve also learned a lot about myself along the way. I write because it makes me happy. I’m not going to say I don’t want to be a successful screenwriter someday but I’ll write until the day I die regardless. It’s too much fun.
Writing challenges my mind to be unique. It inspires me to create something I’ve never seen before. It fuels my love of movies. It’s an obsession I share with millions of other people out there. Dedicated souls that are in dark rooms around the world right now writing scripts that defy their own imaginations. Writers with the same fundamental goal:
TO TELL A GREAT STORY
When I started this blog I discovered I also love to write about screenwriting. It’s provided me with a great outlet to talk about my fears but also what inspires me to write. As this blog continues to grow, I hope to continue writing about what I love. I also hope to meet even more passionate writers.
