Passion is as passion does. Thanks, Scott and the GITS community, for all of it!

Thank you, Scott for three years of unbelievably valuable information. Happy Birthday GITS!

I go to your site a least twice a day. In a crazy business that has extreme ups and downs, it is an oasis of sanity. Your insight into writing, characters, structure, and the business of writing is inspiring. Long live "Go into the Story"

Paul Wie at 2011-05-16 10:06:51:

Thanks Scott! Love this site and all the info and inspiration you provide.

Darren McLeod at 2011-05-16 10:15:10:

Congrats on the achievement, Scott, and thanks so much for sharing your wisdom with us for the past three years. I really, really appreciate all you do for your readers.

Wow, GITS is really knowledgeable for a 3-year-old!

Thanks for all you do on this site, Scott. Your glimpses into the minds of screenwriters, stories from the industry, discussions of clips and dialogue and insightful anecdotes (yours and others) are a real treasure.

Happy Birthday GITS! Champagne is in order, bubbly quotes will have to do, first from story lover Joseph Campbell, "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." Who you are, Scott, is a privilege to us all. Thank you for GITS.

And second, a movie quote, "There is not a life in this room that you have not touched, and each of us is a better person because of you. We are your symphony Mr. Holland." Thank you for sharing your wisdom and love of stories! It's infectious and enlightening.

Congratulations, Scott! Keep up the amazing work on your blog. It is constantly informative and inspiring.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GITS. Thank you Scott for being unbelievably awesome for awesome's sake. You are a perfect example of karma being put to good use. Be Blessed!

I just officially 'followed' today (because you asked nicely), but I've been reading for over a year and still haven't caught up with the posts done before I found GITS. I have one screenplay floating around Scriptapalooza at the moment and another completed, and your blog has been both an invaluable resource and an inspiration. Thanks so much, and keep up the great work!

Peter Dwight at 2011-05-16 14:35:26:

Happy Birthday, GITS. And all thanks to you Scott. I can't wait for the day I send you an email about that first sell. Or thanking GITS & Sensei Scott Myers during an Oscar acceptance speech.

Continual thanks for the #1 place for my learning, and cheers to the next 3 years!

Happy Birthday! You deserve a REAL bottle of Veuve Clicquot today :)

Scott at 2011-05-16 18:42:07:

@Everyone: Thanks for the best wishes. Remember, if you have any suggestions for the site or specific content areas you'd like covered, let me know. Either post in comments or email me. Over the last three years, some of the very best ideas have come from GITS readers. Now I'm off to crack open a virtual bottle of Veuve Clicquot!

Sumel at 2011-05-16 19:53:38:

Happy Birthday GITS! I love your blog and look forward to each day's posts.

Judith at 2011-05-16 20:39:47:

Happy Anniversary and many more! Thanks for all of the info, education, encouragement and thought-provoking posts. Your generous attitude toward all screenwriters is an inspiration.

RonC at 2011-05-17 19:07:45:

Scott, not only do you inspire me as a writer (though I still spend far too much time reading and romanticizing about writing than actually writing), but you inspire me as a person. Your generosity and good will and positivity and constant encouragement are worth more than you can know. You're "building up treasures in heaven," my friend.
