    screenplay I know, but I did it anyway.

    Sorry your purchase didn't work out and I respect your right not to get into details, but could you explain the above quote? "before the license could be utilized'? Are you using the word "license" as referring to the rights to the novel you purchased...or something else? Did you have a time...

    screenplay I know, but I did it anyway.

    Now I'm curious (& perhaps others), was it a profitable purchase?

    screenplay I know, but I did it anyway.

    Question......What if the holders of the rights do like the script when it's completed.....do they (rights holder and script author) then renegotiate a purchase price of the rights...or is the price negotiated and agreed upon before the script is authorized to be written?....Anyone have...

    screenplay What Stimulates Your Writing Skills and Creativity?

    Believe it or not, I do the same thing at night before I sleep....and it does work (at least for me). Also, when I drive home late at night (2-4am) with little or no traffic, during my 25 minute commute with the right songs playing on the radio, my story ideas just seem to come automatically...

    screenplay Poor person's distribution of a script.

    The above example (in my opinion) is the consequences of stupidity, not destiny.....Destiny (to me) is an accomplishment a bit beyond one's control, but can happen as long as the effort is made, even with less natural talent. In your post yesterday you mentioned an example of 10,000 writers who...

    screenplay Poor person's distribution of a script.

    Those 3 qualities (hard work, talent, & luck) apply to many occupations.....but I would like to add a 4th characteristic which the speaker in the video did mention once, but many may not have noticed......and that is destiny.....which some may incorrectly call luck. Yes, some are definitely...

    screenplay Poor person's distribution of a script.

    Try going to: copyright.gov (U.S. Copyright Office)...There are a few requirements, but it's fairly easy, fast and inexpensive. Since you're doing this as a "side hobby" why not hire a professional freelance writer for consultation and perhaps some touch-up work on your script?....They don't...

    When and where are you moving?.....previously you mentioned possibly Austin, TX......just curious (as well as perhaps others).

    suggestion What do you want to see?

    Being so new here I'm not sure if this is where I should ask this question, or it may have been suggested before......Could you (IndieTalk?) add a new category (Like Welcome, Screenwriting, etc.) called: Fun Facts & Trivia There may be a category like this already, I'm just not sure....But...

    screenplay What Stimulates Your Writing Skills and Creativity?

    My question is for anyone who writes for a living or even as a hobby (Screenplays, novels, stories, songs, articles, etc.)...What environment (if any) stimulates your writing abilities, talents, and creativity? For instance......writing in a coffee shop at your favorite table?....writing in...

    After reading Indietalk for about 2 years, it's time to join & participate.

    Yes, I've considered hiring a writer (or ghostwriter) for a book when I've completed my story.....and I understand the advantages of doing that........or I may pass the baton on to a screenwriter and go from there......I have a whole file of freelance writers for hire, mainly from Upwork....the...
