Now, don’t get me wrong. I do write other things including, but not limited to, lyrics to songs I can’t play because I don’t have the talent to play an instrument. And don’t get me started on those dreams in which I create an entire song and forget it all when I wake up. Frustrating.

I do try my best to stay sharp as writing has been something that has come natural to me for as long as I can remember. Hell, I’ve been consistently blogging since 2004 and wrote for a magazine for three years. But placing an emphasis on the whole screenwriting thing is what this post was leaning toward.

True, it may still happen. But until then I’m stuck here at my job marking up proofs with a red pen.

And I suppose I’ll always have this blog to tend to.

I guess my point is this, if you are a writer, then write. Write a novel, write short stories, just write – someday, somehow, if you keep at it, then you will publish and one of those may well become a movie or a television series. It’s easy to take all the rejection personally, but the truth is, like any other business, it’s a numbers game – if you don’t keep pushing and marketing, nobody will know who you are. At least that’s my two cents.

Good luck.
