Hours writing per day

Actually, I should begin by stating I write about two hours every day. I work with a partner. He sends me ideas. I write them. He accepts or rejects (and says why). I say why he's wrong or right. We continue. Everyday. Lots and lots of writing. All ****, I suppose, but we're working on it.

It goes in spurts. The last month less than an hour per month.

Hours working? I'm ashamed to admit it three to four hours Mondays through Fridays, and five hours Saturdays and Sundays. This definitely does not include reading screenplays, talking about screenplays, or sucking up McKee/Fields/Martell words of inspiration.

That's the way I'm told you should do it. At times I've been there. In July I put in about five or six hours a day not much since then. I'm currently reading Li

That's the problem. There is no be, only do. One ought not aspire to "be a writer." Rather, one might aspire to "write." With that aspiration, one will have no choice but to either write or admit failure. To want to "be a writer" is to remove oneself one degree from success and failure and thus guarantee the former in the latter.

I understand what you're saying, but there are differences in what is meant by "writer." I write all the time and, in

I've been writing for a living for seventeen years and I've never kept regular working hours, or attempted to.
Sometimes I write almost literally all day and all night; sometimes I don't write anything for days, or weeks, or longer. If I have paid work to do, the amount of time I spend at it tends to depend mainly on the proximity of a deadline; if I don't have any commission in hand, it depen

I haven't been doing much writing for the past 3 or 4 months (if at all) but I can honestly say I've been thinking about it for

Any **** fool can write a screenplay and they often do. Although it does help to be somewhat literate illiteracy is not necessar
