If you're not confident, you won't sell your script. If you are, you might not consider better alternatives to your choices. Confidence in writing is a huge paradox. Let's chew on this a minute!
I loooove this! I call my critic Judy, and sometimes she is really loud. Dealing with feedback can be rough, but it's also an opportunity to learn and grow. When Judy gets loud, I get loud back. She doesn't get the final say anymore. This was such a great blog, Law. Thank you! I just loved how you brought mental health into the conversation—so important.
Thanks! I love that your inner critique has a name. I don't what I'd call mine.
One of my screenwriting teachers a thousand years ago challenged us to create a physical manifestation of the "gremlin" that holds us back, and I never did. I just couldn't be bothered. BUT I imagine that gremlin, poking and prodding, trying to bring me down! lol
