Colby- Thanks for sharing this. I think if we all apply this to everything we do, then there’s something there: “Life is too short to chase trends or worry about rules. Do what you want. This is a made up job anyway. And trust me, people are going to be much more excited to read something written with passion that breaks the rules than something that feels like it perfectly follows the rules but isn’t all that interesting.” 🙌🏼
This was a really encouraging read, especially for a hobbyist like me who wants to really get into the world of screenplays and scripts. Thank you for this, Colby. Also, I'm a new follower and don't know the mold backstory, but YIKES! I hope that is all resolved soon!
Thank you! The mold is fortunately behind us (hopefully)! I'd say "do whatever you want" would be my number 1 piece of advice to anyone starting out, so it's nice to hear that resonates with you and feels liberating!
