« This is what sucks about screenwriting. Unlike a novel, a screenplay is not a �final� art form. However beautifully written, it�s essentially a plan for making a movie. And plans change. […]
So, knowing that things will get changed, and quite possibly ruined, how does the screenwriter avoid creative paralysis?
You have to embrace the chaos on some level. Moviemaking is like white-water rafting. You know you�re going to get from point A to point B, but it�s going to be scary along the way. You�ll have to paddle your ass off. You might get thrown from the boat. But if you make it down in one piece, that�s success. »
From the blog of screenwriter John August.
