ABSTRACT
Screenwriting is a martial art. Just like a martial art, screenwriting requires profound dedication, concentration, intense practice, willingness to fight, strength, and courage. Screenwriters should develop some skills that they can use to earn a living while they are doing art. The fear that they are not good enough can be overcome by relentless practice and honing their skills. The most daunting fear for any of us is usually the fear of rejection. Rejection in love is one of the prevailing themes in music, literature, and all great art. Humans are continually trying to learn how to cope with rejection in both personal and professional arenas. It is important to remember that as creators, screenwriters are shape-shifting constantly so the shadows they cast—their ideas—can and do change even though they have the same essence. And their idea supply is infinite.
