d my brain in pain---how? why? Yes, there is something to his movies- and then there are parts that make the viewers (especially those that are fellow writers) question- why is he successful? For instance, the quintessential fighting couple meet up with their group of friends and at one point say:"Why did I get married?"
"Why did I get married, too?"
No joke- THAT was the dialogue.
Like I said, not hating, but it just makes me depressed. I think I write a tad better than Perry and I can write screenplays as well ...so, why can't I be a successful writer, too???
I realize that part of getting there is sacrifice, and if you don't believe me, then listen to Perry discuss his life before all of his success. The man was living in his car at one point. I think a lot of us say we want to do whatever it takes, but we may not be acting on those words just yet. I'm trying to think of what I can give up- what can I do to ensure that I am pouring my everything into my passion...and it comes down to TV. TV is my damn vice! I will literally schedule my life around certain TV shows- and it's like when 8:00 comes around, my laptop MUST be closed.
Is this keeping me from becoming a successful writer?? Is there something holding you back? If not, tell me how YOU keep focused on the task at hand.
I'm a sucker for certain TV shows as well lol. But just the fact that you're contemplating how to find even more time to achieve this goal means you're on the path to doing it.
