Screenwriting : How to speed up time of acquiring skills by Katarzyna Adamus

I come from Poland, where most of the people believe, that if you are writer, you must be born with a pen in one hand and paper in another, reciting poems or prose to a shocked midwife. Obviously, this is not true. When I was growing up, I could count on my fingers the number of books on creative writing in my country. So to learn the craft, I had to reinvent the wheel. It was a painful path. If I had that time access to all these thousands of books, which I have access now - after learning English language, and all these teachers... Well, let's leave the past and focus on presence. I decided recently to stop reinventing the wheel and other "discoveries". I am going to learn from more experienced people. W. Buffet said once, that the best investment is in your own skills. I found Stage32 services and workshops very stimulating. I done before many on-demand classes, but the feedback on my writing is even more precious. So - this is a new path. I put myself again in the position of a student. Not only in the writing area - we can do shortcuts in almost every area of life, by studying books and attending classes. I decided to make 2022 my "studying year". Thanks to the writing lab with Thomas Pemberton I will have written feature dark comedy script, thanks to workshop with Spencer Robinson I will have completed TV pilot. After one hour chat with Will McCance I see now clearly, where is my writing North Star - which projects to work on and how many of them to complete. I am very thankful for all advice, feedback and comments. No more reinventing things, which I can learn.
