Screenwriting : Best piece of advice that was HARD to take by Jason Mirch

Hey, Jason Mirch. I don't think there's been advice that was hard for me to take. I'd just test out the advice when someone gave it to me and if the advice helped me as a screenwriter or improved my scripts, I kept using it.

Hello, jasonm mIrcgh the hardest opuece of advice i was ever given was a an appraisal of here one neesds to learn and grow including propo project propsals.

It's all hard to take, until it isn't. This may be an answer to the reverse of the question, but I find time and distance make advice easier to take. Typically, after months have passed, often after I've moved onto another script, I'll review some feedback or evaluation I'd received, and lo and behold it's so much more brilliant than I'd remembered, so much more useful.

I never got any advice here, but I never looked for any either.

I was 17 when I went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. One of my teachers, Lisle Wilson (actor, writer, director) said the best ( and the hardest) piece of advice that has always stuck with me which was: "the name of the game of this business is tenacity. Most of us can't endure it. And even with that, you're going to need a lot of luck. Talent is the smallest part of "making it." Of course at that time I didn't believe that I wouldn't bound out of theater school and be an instant success. 40 years later....well,,,I'm still here.

That is the greatest advice ever Susan Kelejian and is for all of us today.
