I just read a fabulous article by author/filmmaker Peter Hanson. It’s posted on The Writers Store website and it condenses down into five points some of the things he learned while interviewing screenwriters for the book he co-edited with Paul Robert Herman, Tales from the Script: 50 Hollywood Screenwriters Share Their Stories.
I didn’t read one thing in the article that I disagree with (shocking, I know!) and I think this short article should become required reading for everyone pursuing a career as a screenwriter. It puts the level of commitment, time, and effort required into very practical terms. If this is any indication of the full scope of the book, then it’s a must have. Well done, Mr. Hanson and Mr. Herman!
