"Insignificance in Significance"

In the core of this image, captured by me, lies the tale of a single grain of rice—a seemingly insignificant yet profound symbol of life's intricacies. From an aerial perspective, this minuscule element embodies the forgotten and overlooked. It signifies sustenance, shared moments, and departed meals, echoing the fleeting essence of life's fragments and the enduring traces they leave behind.

This image sparks contemplation on the contrast between the profound and the overlooked, urging exploration into the hidden narratives within the ordinary. Within this seemingly mundane scene, a lone grain of rice carries the weight of countless untold stories.

Poetic, Nastaran Nouri! Your post reminds me of the thousands -- maybe millions -- of original stories out there that aren't being bought and made. So many incredible stories that are being overlooked.

Maurice Vaughan I completely agree; it's a great analogy. I often wonder how much responsibility falls on us as creators. Timing can also be a significant factor, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a never-give-up attitude. I firmly believe that if we perceive it as a good story, then we must endeavor to share it, but this initiative begins with self-belief. I've encountered writers who lack certainty, whether in the clarity of their direction or due to deeper doubts about their own ideas. Regrettably, many of these stories go unnoticed due to a lack of persistence, in my opinion.

Maurice Vaughan

You're right, Nastaran Nouri. Timing is a significant factor. And timing isn't something writers can control. What we can control is the quality of our work, how much we learn about screenwriting and the business, who we network with and how much we network, self-belief, and being persistent.

I was so scared of Networking! Maurice Vaughan

An important ingredient that I neglected for a long time, but I started to change that about 6months ago. Now I’m excited :)

Glad to hear that, Nastaran Nouri! Networking was scary for me before, but then I started seeing networking as building relationships/making friends.
