Re: Why Most Fail At Screenwriting
A lot of what you say rings true. Especially about fast writing because surely (as a fast writer myself) I know I work the idea out several ways in my head for as long as necessary before I sit down and dash one out in a few days. Just my process. But there are definitely people who are more talented in terms of being able to write anything and have it just be magical. I would say that Bill Goldman springs to mind. I don't think he was "hot" and that's why he sold so many and had so many made. I think he was just plain good. But this thread is about why people fail at screenwriting and it has nothing to do with talent. Certainly you have to have a modicum of ability but the rest hinges on so many other things.
