Constructing the Main Character
I started out in the entertainment industry writing
plot/story driven screenplays. Enough years have passed that I will confess
—
Characters in my scripts were an afterthought.
My ideas/stories were original, and I was a good
storyteller, allowing me to make a big splash in the industry. I set up several
movie pitches for lots of money and I become a Professional Screenwriter.
However, as time went on, many of the scripts based on my
sold pitches weren’t getting made into movies, and I ended up facing a major
challenge in my career as a screenwriter.
I either needed to grow creatively as an artist or end up
with the reputation of a hack who had a knack for great concepts/plots, but
nothing else.
So what did I do?
So what did I do?
