Hi Father, I am a professional screenwriter. When I was getting trained, my mentor talked to me about how real writers depended upon AIC. (Ass in Chair). The idea is that you have to commit to being there in the chair, to fight, to focus. The other part he talked about is what Woody Allen said about success. "90% of success is just showing up." My mentor and I viewed this as showing up every day, to do the work, to invest your time, every day to succeed. Woody Allen might not be the best role model but his words have relevance for creatives.
