WRITE

FINALLY WRITE YOUR IDEA.

Time is running out. You're growing older. Your life path doesn't look like one that leads to Hollywood. But you have a secret: there's a dream of a movie in your head. You can see it, you know it could be great... IF. 

If you finally made it a reality. 

Which means... you gotta write the damn thing.

But the reasons not to write come flooding in: you're an outsider, with zero connections in the "business" of movies... you don't have time, you've got to keep your day job... no one makes the kind of films you love anymore, you're just a throwback to a bygone era... you don't think of yourself as the "writer type," whatever that means to you. 

Guess what? Those thoughts won't go away. They want you to hide and never try.

And if you're waiting for a sign that you're ready to write? Trust me, that sign will not be "all my self-defeating beliefs will disappear."  They'll get louder and more insistent the closer you get to writing words on your first blank page.

So how can you push past the noise and do it anyway? Well, you can struggle with yourself for years, fight for each painful word and learn every writing lesson the hard way. That's what I did. I recommend it... if your only other choice is giving up. Luckily, it's not.

There's a better option. A real shot at the finish line.

A coach.

Athletes need them. So do writers.

A coach helps you concentrate. Hones your strengths and pinpoints your weaknesses. Gives you goals and expects you to meet them. Shouts down the negative thoughts and makes you show up when you want to quit. 

It'll be a matter of weeks, not years, for you to finish your first screenplay. You won't believe how far you'll go and how fast you'll get there. 

Just hydrate. Lace up. And get ready to run.
