- Did you write this before or after the Kayne West rant?
- Pam, Many thanks for your correction. My bad is all the more severe since I googled the term for the correct spelling before publishing my post. Apparently, there's a number of us out there...

Some "new" aspiring screenwriter asked what they surely intended to be a thought-provoking question: "What's the one best trick you've learned that most improved your writing?"
I was one of the early respondents who offered some variation of "Work harder." Several folks chimed in with similar answers, but the person asking the question kept saying "no, no-- you guys are not answering me! I want to know one tactic or technique I can adopt!"
Again 8 or 9 people -- including some pros who have penned some of the biggest movies in recent years -- said "work harder."
No matter how many times this simple and powerful (yet easily dismissed) bit of advice was offered, or who it came from, this new writer refused to hear it. They wanted something else... a book they might read, a program to use, a pill to take.
ANYTHING but "work harder."
It's amazing to notice how hard some folks will work to remain lazy.
Nice post.
