What is Success?
As stated before, Success can be defined in many ways; simply completing your screenwriting project, being recognized in a screenplay competition, connecting with an agent/manager, having your project optioned, or ultimately completing a sale of your screenwriting project.
The following quote is a perspective to consider;
“Writing isn’t only about making money, getting famous, getting dates, or making friends. In the end it’s about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life as well.”
….. Stephen King
It’s different for everyone…we suggest being persistent, continue improving your craft, never give up, and stay positive. These attributes will help you achieve the success level you hope for.
