Devastating news, my friends. I’m under the weather. I couldn’t muster the strength to read and review a script. This stuff takes more brain power than you think. But I hate leaving you guys with nothing, so I wanted to highlight something someone brought up in the comments section yesterday. Jordan Peele quit writing “Get Out” 20 times. Think about that for a moment. If any one of those times took, he would not have been standing at the front of the most prestigious movie awards ceremony in the world accepting an Oscar on Sunday. One of the most difficult things about writing is that you get so close to a script that all you can see are its faults. You may even start to hate it. These are the moments when you want to hang it up. Don’t. If you believed in your script with all your heart when you started it, there’s something there. It’s your duty to finish it and get it out there. You never know what could happen. :)
