I am utterly baffled why so many would engage in the raw evil of encouraging new writers.
There are four very, very good reasons why one should never encourage new writers:-
1. Encouraging new writers is the equivalent of trying to popularise taking up Russian Roulette as a sport. It is going to be an utter beating out there. 250,000 screenplays arrive each year in Tinseltown, of which just 600 are made and about 200 provide a sustainable living.
2. In an already crowed, packed field, encouraging someone talentless undermines hard working talented people, struggling to make ends meet.
3. In encouraging talentless people to take up writing, one is, de facto, encouraging them NOT to do what they are actually talented at, deriving them of a living and the world of whatever they are actually taleted at.
4. People generally work hard for their money. It is disgusting to see audiences waste their hard earned dough of watching utter crap produced from someone's bad screenplay.
