I sat down one day, for 4 hours straight and wrote 120 pages. It's not that hard. The script was shit but I'm finished, I've edited it now and I'm happy with it. Don't spend hundreds on a course if you can just finish it in one day like me
I finished my first script in a month whilst studying at Uni my second has been a bit more of a struggle but I haven't had as much free time to try and finish it but also I'm just struggling more with the narrative of it but even still that's only been 5 months how people fail to make any progress for years baffles me it's more about persistence than anything else
This is an important lesson. It sounds like you're a writer. Writers write. The course is for non-writers. It's not a "how-to write better course". He gives that away for FREE in his videos. I wish you success in being a writer.
@@franjes9999 Many successful screenwriters, authors, etc. are in writing groups. Athletes pay for private coaches. CEOs have business coaches. This course is overpriced for only two reasons: you don't go through it or you don't ever write anything.
I have to thank you. I was able to write my first screenplay in just three weeks with great help from your videos. Its in many ways a messy draft, but also the best thing ive ever written. Credited you in my video series I made about it ❤
I JUST FINISHED MY FIRST FEATURE LENGTH SCREENPLAY! I'm on draft 2. I started screenwriting a year ago. Wrote about 20 shorts. Finally decided to make the push to feature length about a month ago. Had the story in my head. Banged out draft one in ten days. This channel helped me learn a system that works for me (philosophical conflict and story circle). I'll move on to another feature length screenplay maybe this summer.
Stickability!! A made-up word to keep at it! Procrastination is the artist's biggest demon. Your message is SO transferable to the actor. This is why I love your channel so much. Talent with Stickability. Keep at it! Brilliant post - as always. Thanks for sharing.
For me the best thing to do was to just start off small and simple. I started just writing, shooting and editing really short skits, about 1/2 a page long to a full page. Then I wrote short film scripts just a couple pages long (shooting and editing them as well), making sure to keep it all as simple as possible. Right now I've finished writing a 20 page short film script, and I'm really proud of it, and will continue writing in the future. Just having all these small things finished are really satisfying, since I know I'm making progress, rather than starting one big project right from the get go and never finishing it.
So the video you linked was kinda helpful. It was quite long and I appreciate the low price offer, but firstly I couldn't navigate your website. The enrol button disappeared after I tryed to pause the video and I also couldn't move back or bmforth through the video. Also my main problem, and perhaps this is perfectionism is that I like to have a clear working world to write my story in. However as I write my story it just reaks down my world into a billion pieces. Your course as far as I can tell is about sitting and writing. Which to be honest I don't have a problem with, I write all the time. My problem is making sure my story makes sense and works. I don't know how I'm meant to write the end of a story when the start and middle can't even be defined as a story. Finally what is the age limit of your course? Ho old do u have to be?
I disagree with your assertions on short films. But all of these videos helped me tremendously. Dare to write. The first draft is key. I have 20 unfinished screenplays and your notes helped me figure how how to fix writers block. Thanks.
Hello Tyler! Recently finished my first draft ever between school and work. I didn't purchase your course or book, but your videos have been a huge help. I was considering watching some of the story fundemental videos to prep for my 2nd draft. Any suggestions?
I have a concept It's a skit about a fictional talent show for movie writers In that show a bunch of upcoming movie writers write scripts and narrate to judges and the winner is the person who successfully impress judges with their script You can generate humour from this setup I think I don't know If you think this concept is good turn it into a short film/skit
I found myself saying "nope" at every suggestion as to what the problem is. The problem isn't procrastination, it's finding a producer who likes your script.
Hey Tyler! Thank you for your in-depth series about the fundamentals of screenwriting. Just a heads up, I clicked on your link and there is a small typo "5, *20*, even 15 pages..." I believe you meant "5, *10*, even 15 pages..." a tiny mistake but it would improve your authority/branding - I wouldn't want you to miss out on sales. Thanks again!
I've just wrote one of the many potential storylines in my notebook that nobody sees, is this a sign that I have to just pick one storyline from that notebook and start writing instead of procastinating?
Tyler put his effort and time to create 14 well-articulated and great-graphics containing videos for no cost. Why shouldn't he be rewarded for that? Do you get paid when you do your job?
I bought the Practical Screenwriting Course and I tried seeing if my mom had any books on philosophy and psychology. The closest thing she had was something called "Personality Plus". You heard of it and do you think it'd be any good?
@@cjkalandek996 no offense, but i only replied because i majored in philosophy and i know for sure that all such books are trash. but it's not my place to tell you how to spend your time.
Hey. Just came across your #UA-cam channel. Quick question. There are B&W posters on your wall in the background of your videos that caught my eye. They seem to follow a visual theme. Tell me about them. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
I want help for this problem.. after writing a scene at night/day or any time the very next day Why do I feel the entire scene was bull shit.. but it was felt awesome while writing it... please help me...
the old theme. write drunk, edit sober. we have 2 sides to creativity. the rushed and the eased. during the day, you can get many different interruptions. at night, chances are you get silence. this is where the creativity flows. pay attention to that one more than the rushed day person. remember, readers want to be captivated. they read to escape. your creativity is your mind escaping from the stress of the daytime. this is the released Hyde persona. not the dr. Jekyll who is studied. we edit with a cold harsh mind. try to balance them. never erase. its just digital. you're not saving a tree. write on and let slip the dogs of war!

Hi there, I am writing to your email for informations, but you don't answer. Maybe I have rhe wrong address. Which is the right one where I write to you?
The video for his course sounds like a scam. It's like an hour long and can't be skipped or jumped around. He mentions that this will work for you if you have low motivation or low self esteem, like he is preying on inexperienced writers. He could have given all this for free on UA-cam, maybe make a patreon, but I think he's just taking your money. I'm not paying $300 for a 7 hour course and to join a Facebook group. The whole point of the video is to write even if it is bad and don't get distracted. Because working even on a bad story will make you a better writer. Which is true. But you don't need his magic course to do that you just need a community to support you and keep you writing.

I’ve been doing the same thing it definitely helps to do simplify it creating something more bite sized
Tyler you've helped me immensely. You should be a teacher
He kinda is a teacher! Just the freelance sort. You can get join his practical screenwriting course.
I love Tyler's tough love.
Thank you Tyler!
This is very well said. I always find myself getting about 90% done with my screen place then stoping
Hey Taylor, I am an actor. I write my own scripts. How should I manage both at once , script writing takes times. Any simple method for good drafts.
