I have found this channel today. I love everything here. I am stuck with the first draft for two years now. I always go back and try to perfect. I have never done five chapters in all those years. I am ashamed of myself. I am glad to discover this and hopefully I will start afresh. I am a teacher in Kampala Uganda, East Africa. Thank you

I also love the fact that you write first and do the research to fit the writing ✍🏽..... SO TRUE.... that’s what I have been doing so that I don’t get distracted with the idea I have on my mind. I put it very quick in writing as soon as I’m inspired and I do the research later.... that’s for searching this..... do many USEFUL TIPS

I absolutely love Film Courage. I always come away with new ideas and screen writing techniques with every video. And, they're usually very inspirational. There are times when I ask myself, am I really making a healthy choice by trying to write screenplays? This usually comes up after an hour of struggling with a script. But, all I have to do is watch another video from Film Courage, and my confidence returns. Now...back to that rewrite. :P

It's tradition like Once Upon A Time or In The Beginning, and such. I feel it anchors the portal of the story structure. When I write revisions, it can act as a buoy or marker when you are moving scenes around or writing non-sequentially.
