This is a great repost for the beginning of the year. I link to it all the time at forum and we talk about it all the time, too. I created a Film Club area to discuss what we learn from the films we're watching and a Script Room to share thoughts on the scripts we're reading. I find I get a sense of momentum from knowing other people are doing this, too--just like with GOYOQ. I'm working like a fiend to hit a deadline at the end of the month, but once I get past that, I really want to commit to this system and build good habits around stacking projects.

Nice, Shaula. I worked on this formula last year, it's in my face every morning and it does motivate, for sure. Compared to before, I do actually read a ton more screenplays now and after an initial writing slump, am working much faster. It certainly pays off if you keep going...

One thing would be useful to add is a number for also generating ideas, like 2 ideas or more a week to keep us writers going....

That's all great to hear, Aarthi. And what about an idea a day? When you interact with other people, read the news, or put any other information into your brain on a regular basis, it isn't that hard once you build up the habit. P.S. You and I are kindred spirits: we have an Idea Factory at the forum, too!

Hey Shaula, you have a point, I always get anal about making sure they are good ideas but you never know when one might just turn into one. I will certainly do that and check the forum too. Thanks!
