Interview: Tim Snyder: “Do Not Obey in Advance”: How Corporate America Is Bending to Trump

"It’s textbook anticipatory obedience" - the most monied are the ones setting "the example by yielding to power first."

I was struck by five personality traits and five skill sets that keep popping up in my conversations with professional writers, so I thought it would be helpful to do a series, a checklist if you will, of areas we can focus on as we develop as screenwriters.

Five Screenwriting Traits

Part 1: Passion

Part 2: Courage

Part 3: Consistency

Part 4: Flexibility

Part 5: Persistence

Five Screenwriting Skills

Part 1: Talent

Part 2: Knowledge

Part 3: Experience

Part 4: Voice

Part 5: Conviction

I think these ten aspects of who we are and what we do are especially important for anyone seeking a career as a Hollywood writer.

Are there other traits or skills you think are necessary to be a screenwriter? Love to read your observations, so please head to comments and let me know what you think.
