Back to Basics

Someone emailed me the other day and said, "Aren't you basically giving us the stuff that all of the other books, seminars, and conferences do when it comes to writing?"

To that I have to say a resounding," YES!"

I'm also showing you what I do, because that's what has worked for me thus far. Judging by the number of email pitches that I get, scripts I read, and verbal crap that gets shoved in my ears...
You guys and gals aren't listening to me, or to the executives or to anyone else with real experience in the industry. You are too busy thinking you're going to take Ho-wood by storm instead of learning how to have a career in a very tough industry.

Big difference between the two.

The best, most honest piece of advice I can give you is this:

If you can't hook me in one sentence, you're NOT going to hook me with 95 pages. Start small. Go from there. Simplicity is harder to craft than it looks. Those that can do it have a shot at being real storytellers...

In other words:Get back to basics.

So go on. What are you waiting for?
