Do you want to learn how to become a prolific screenwriter?
I love catching up with screenwriters. I don't write screenplays myself, but it's a fascinating genre because many principles apply to other types of writing.
My guest today is Brock Swinson. He's the interviewer for Creative Screenwriting magazine and the author of Ink by the Barrel, which illustrates Brock's prolific writing principles.
In the interview, Brock shares his secrets for breaking into the screenwriting industry and how to overcome the most significant challenge most writers face.
In this episode, we discuss the following:
- Screenwriting principles
- Productivity hacks and the intersection between creativity and productivity
- The importance of finding your voice and organizing your ideas
- Balancing writing with editing and marketing
- The benefits of becoming a Patreon
