Screenwriting : Encouragement by Anna Woodliff

Anna Woodliff

Encouragement

I know that pursuing a creative passion can be so discouraging. You pour your heart, soul, and hours into a project only to be met with endless rejection. I just want to say I believe every person embarking on that journey is such a badass. I am so inspired by every writer who continues to put their light onto the page, regardless of the outcome. I think it takes incredible strength of character as well as a special connection to that magical source of creativity. So if you are feeling down at the lack of perceived "progress", just know I think you hold the stars. Keep writing!! I am feeding off of your light.

Much love,

Anna Rose

Thank you. Yes, it can be pretty rough and there are some times you have to make some hard decisions. I had a friend of 20 years tell me that because of my age, 58, and location, Iowa, no one in Hollywood would ever be interested in my writing. When I said how shocked that attitude was he said I just had to face the fact that I'd been wasting my time and money. That was two years ago and the last time I ever spoke with him.

If they won't support your dreams they are not worth your friendship.

Thanks for the encouragement, Anna Woodliff. It's definitely needed, as everyone is probably going through some kinda creative or industry obstacle, challenge, or rejection. I'm rooting for you and everyone! :D

This is much needed for an existential writer/human being such as myself, specially in these difficult times for all of us.

Thank you!
