    The first time I ever experienced writer's block was day one writing the first screenplay I was hired to write. My brother and I had a 15 page treatment approved by the network and we were given the greenlight to start.
    I couldn't write a thing. I just stared at the screen for an entire day. Thankfully that only lasted for one day and has never happened again. it was so strange to realize I was writing words that were 100% going to be filmed and performed and I was getting paid for this and I just completely froze.

      DinosaurFilms I know you might be joking but Gary Oldman actually co-wrote the original Total Recall.

    Great to see Jack on again. He's awesome. Ive just bought ON WRITING because of this. Love what he said about the addiction to being "jacked up" and relating it to writing because for me physical training and diet go hand in hand with writing. Also loved that bit about "a real writer stays on that diet his whole life" as my writing is motivated by getting something I can shoot as opposed to writing being my ultimate dream.

    I finally got a roll on after almost 6 months of being stagnant. I wrote 30 pages in two days and then another 5 last night. Currently up
    To 65 pages with a clear ending in sight. Looking to reach between 80-90 pages for my first draft.
    It’s been a long, rocky path but I’m determined to finally finish it.

    Originally, I wrote in scenes like stage plays. Then I purchased Syd Field and screenwriting for dummies. Been writing better since then. Currently writing two stories. Took two days off reasonably. Might write some time today in my current time zone.

      That’s a great way to digest screenplays in an intuitive fashion
      As Glenn Gers said on this very channel, “A screenplay is nothing but a series of scenes”
