Every screenwriter faces fear and failure. The legendary screenwriter William Goldman once said he was “programed to fail.” Yet he went on to have a long career that included winning two Oscar Awards. Susannah Grant put a positive spin on constant failure saying “that free-falling feeling you get right on the knife edge of total disaster may in fact be an essential ingredient to doing anything worthwhile.” Arguably the worst failure for the new screenwriting is either not finishing a script —or not even starting the writing process. You’ll find throughout this book that talent and hard work are essential to succeed at any level. You can’t teach that. Sprinkled throughout these pages are quotes curated from an eclectic and diverse mix of many top screenwriters and filmmakers throughout the history of film and television.
