I love writing. Things work out in a screenplay. There is some kind of resolve and lessons learned; character arcs. In my real life, I get halfway to my goal and get stuck - by fear mostly. I'm not good with people. I can solve my character's issues, teach them new skills, even get them to connect and play well with others (well, most of the time). Me, I would rather be one of those hermit writers who live alone in a cave. Except I don't want to be in a dirty, uncomfortable, chilly cave, and I need WiFi and all the mod-cons. And I'm pretty sure I can't grow a beard...

Fear is the most demotivating emotion a creative can go through. I'm sorry you struggle with it, but I hope you'll realize you can push through in the end. As a writer myself I always get shaky in the knees when I'm starting a new project. Reminding myself that I can't move forward without that "shitty first draft" has helped me out.
Being a hermit writer sounds lovely. Not sure writers-rooms would allow you to work in onesies, but man that's the dream! xD

Hi Kitania, I don't think I'm also good with people but, I study to be good. I'm also trying to be a good screenwriter. I love to be a hermit writer too, I'm just a little bit well-groomed, just a little. :)

Hermits United perhaps? Hello fellow introverted writers!

I'm with you on the cave idea. But let's be honest, even if we could grow beards we would need beard salons to make sure they were treated, colored and accessorized properly. So still no cave. ;)

Alkmaar is only an hour and a half from where I was born, interestingly enough. Welcome to Stage 32!

I understand. I love creating my own universe and characters.
