What did you learn about the writing field from watching the short videos? What advice do you think is most important for you? What questions might you have?

Some of your stories will work. Others won't. But writing them out whether they work or not is the best part because even if they don't work or if they don't fall into place how they're supposed to those badly written stories can give you ideas and inspiration for new stories. the only thing that you'd have to give up for writing is two to three hours of your day.

A question I might have for him is, was it hard getting to where you are today?

Screenwriters will try to adapt to whatever is trendy. They will try to imitate other screenwriters, for example, the people who created avatar or transformers. They will be more concerned about selling then they will be about creating. What separates a bad screenwriter from a good one is how well they hide exposition and how they pull readers into their stories or movies. Bad writers have nothing to say because having something to say is what inspires most, if not all writers.

My question to him would be, if you're confident about your writing and you continue to try hard to get out there in your own way instead of just imitating someone, can you get out there? And will people take your work seriously?
