10. "Never write something that’s been done before."
Everything’s been done before. The difference is how you do it.
Your unique perspective, voice, and twists are what make familiar tropes fresh and exciting. #scriptsky

9. "Just focus on writing a great script—the rest will take care of itself."
You can write the best script in the world, but without a plan to get it seen, it’ll collect dust.
Learn about pitching, networking, and the business side too.

8. "Don’t write dialogue that sounds unnatural."
Trying too hard to make dialogue 'natural' often results in boring exchanges.
Write dialogue that’s heightened, subtextual, and reveals character—real-life conversations are NOT entertaining.

7. "Every scene needs to advance the plot."
This is half-true. Your scenes should either advance the plot or deepen character development.
A scene that shows who your character truly is can be just as powerful as a twist.

6. "The more complex your plot, the better."
Complex isn’t always compelling. If your audience needs a map and a magnifying glass just to follow your story, you’ve lost them.
Focus on telling a clear, engaging story first.

5. "Only write when you’re feeling creative."
Creativity doesn’t follow a schedule, but a consistent writing habit will help you show up even on tough days.
The real pros don’t wait to feel creative—they create consistently.

4. "Your first draft has to be great."
First drafts are meant to be bad. If you’re aiming for perfection on your first go, you’ll never get past page one.
Give yourself permission to write a terrible first draft. #scriptsky

3. "Write what's hot right now in Hollywood."
Chasing trends means you’re already too late. By the time you finish your screenplay, the trend will have passed.
Write the story you’re passionate about—your unique voice is your real selling point.

2. "Focus on perfecting your outline before you write a single scene."
Obsessing over the perfect outline is a recipe for procrastination.
The real magic happens when you’re writing, not planning. Start messy and refine as you go.

1. "Wait for inspiration to strike."
Sitting around and waiting for inspiration is a great way to never finish your screenplay.
Instead, write every day—you’ll be surprised how often inspiration shows up once you get started. #Screenwriting
