I found it was most definitely true. Telling people ideas always zapped the energy out of actually writing the story. A feature-length screenplay is around 20,000 words (120 pages) and every fiber of devoted energy was needed to crank out and edit the script. Every time I kept my mouth shut, I somehow managed to pull it through.WRITE THE DAMN THING. The sooner it's written, the sooner it can be registered and protected. And all the better to head off Michael Crichton's version of it, anyway.
DON'T TELL. No matter how tempting it is to blurt out your brilliance, the safest bet is to keep mum. To producers, directors, executives, assistants -- and especially other writers. This carries an added advantage. Some writer, I forget who, held the policy of "only tell your story on paper." He maintained that when he told the story verbally, his need to communicate it was satisfied, and he'd lose the impulse to write it. I'm inclined to agree.

Yeah, I had the same thing early in my life. It took MY parents a while to realize i wasn't just going to be a normal 9-5 guy and that i had different ambitions. I got plenty of those job apps in the mail from my Mom too...lol.backbreaker said:I remember whenI had my first business and I told my parents about what i wanted to do, at the time i was flat broke but I was still pretty confident in where we were going, just knew it was going to take some time.. pure..hell.. Every time she emailed she would attach a job application lol, eveyr time she would call she would tel me "such and such is hiring",
****ING HATE REPORTER MODE. Alright I`m good. They want a piece of our brilliance. So they try to take advantage of us.HoneyHitter said:My personal policy is "Show. Don't tell.", but it's very hard to keep up 100% of the time. And it surrounds me with a certain mystique that attract the wrong kind of people for me.
A lot of people get into "reporter-mode" when they see me making moves that get me ahead. They WILL start asking my goals and stuff like that. Most of the time I try to brush it off, or play-down my skills and achievements. Sometimes I just tell 'em "I'm not that great", even though I think I'm second to none. Just to get rid of certain people. I could care less whether they think I'm insecure or not. Their loss. I'm the best.
People can get really annoying and constantly try to be all up in my business until they "solved" the mystery. Men and women alike. I hate that.
What I hate even more is that these are exactly the kind of people who start taking me for granted, once they think they "know" me.
Why don't people just mind their own business. Like me. I have no time to be trying to find out about people. I'm still learning how to deal with it.
Don't always be the one putting yourself out for her. Don't always be the one putting all the effort and work into the relationship. Let her, and expect her, to treat you as well as you treat her, and to improve the quality of your life.

This reminds me of the time I was around 14 and one day I decided I was going to save up to buy a boat. I'm sure it was due to somewhere seeing a guy driving a boat with a bunch of girls in back. It was a stupid idea at the time and by no means realistic....I would have eventually figured that out on my own, but I made the mistake of telling some family members. Sure as $hit one of them laid into me and made sure they broke it down to me, and let me know how stupid I was for even thinking of it.backbreaker said:beucase she wanted me to hit bottom and get a "real job". Then my dad came over my house one day, mind you we talk like 3 times a year and he decided he was going to lay the smack down on me
This happens a lot. When we're young we have a lot of ambition....and we're not as jaded to the real world as are parents are. They don't want to see us fall on our face but, that's part of life, and when we're young we're allowed to take risks. They don't always see that, and just want us to have a normal, mediocre life. I had to break away early in life, make my own path. A few successes but many failures. They've finally stopped saying "I told you so." I think they've finally figured out that that doesn't work.Yeah, I had the same thing early in my life. It took MY parents a while to realize i wasn't just going to be a normal 9-5 guy and that i had different ambitions. I got plenty of those job apps in the mail from my Mom too...lol.
They only want the best for us. Or at the very least, you know they don't wish failure upon us like most people do
Create self-fulfilling prophecies. Always assume the positive. Assume she likes you. Assume she wants to talk to you. Assume she wants to go out with you. When you think positive, positive things happen.
