Yeah, Yeah—Just what we need, another screenwriting blog.

Here’s the thing. I love movies. And I can’t resist adding my voice to the thousands out there who are already blogging about what it’s like to be a writer. I’ve learned so much over the years, and am excited to share this information not just with my students, but with anyone who’s interested in film. As a teacher, I’ve also learned amazing things from the people who take my classes. And so, I’m sure that you all will inspire me, too.

I’m hoping to share my own writing struggles and joys right here, and hope you will do the same.

I promise to reveal the good, the bad and the ugly. The ups and downs. I also plan to interview some of my writer-producer-director friends, so you can get the benefit of their wisdom too.

Not that any of us is wise. As William Goldman famously said of the film industry, “No one knows anything.”

How cool is that!
