Because the truth is, every writer hits roadblocks.
Sometimes it’s finding the time to write.
Sometimes it’s finishing a draft.
Sometimes it’s confidence, feedback, rejection, or not knowing what the next step is.
And sometimes… it’s all of the above.
So let’s talk about it. What’s one obstacle you’re cu...

It's implementing the changes I know will make it a better script - I get overwhelmed on how to weave in those changes. For when that day comes that my script does get requested, I want to the best version but I do have a sort of road block trying to figure this out. Time management too!
Can't truly define this challenge as holding me back but a constant is not having enough time in any given day! Still constantly putting one foot forward at a time achieves results. Several months wri...

Finances. No matter how professional sounding the faux nuggets of wisdom that come from the majority of those who have or are in the circle of those who have actual funding, this is the ONLY thing hol...

Right now… I feel writer’s block coming on TT_TT
Right now, my biggest challenge is balancing consistency with scale.

Hello everyone!

Hi Komal,
I’m a book editor by profession. I spend most of my time working with writing that already has something working in it, but isn’t fully translating on the page yet. That tends to show up in s...

Over the past few weeks, I had an experience that made me step back and look more carefully at how I approach new connections in the industry.
I was in conversation with someone who presented themselves professionally, spoke the language of development, and showed interest in my script. Initially, ev...

Abhijeet Aade Great point. As creatives, we love our work and think we are one step away from stardom. Unfortunately, there are people out there in the space that take advantage of that emotion and ma...

John Fife That’s a solid way to look at it.
I think it’s easy to get caught up in that “one step away” feeling, especially when someone presents things convincingly. But like you said, at the end of th...

There are scammers here. I have reported to Stage32. Often they steal the identity of a real person. So if someone asks for money from a writer, one should ask oneself if the person is legit.
Working with a co-writer has completely changed the game for me. Having someone to brainstorm with, hold me accountable, and push ideas in new directions has made writing more fun, more productive, and honestly, more motivating. It turns what used to feel like a solo grind into something I actually...

I prefer to have a co-author. But it is not unproblematical. Because the best co-author is one who differs a lot from you. But that also maximizes the risk for conflict.
In practice, to have a co-auth...
