Writing should be an adventure, shrouded in mystery and uncertainty, blessed with amazing grace. In theory, of course
Syd FieldWriting a screenplay is like climbing a mountain. When youโre climbing, all you can see is the rock in front of you and the rock directly above you. You canโt see where youโve come from or where youโre going.
Syd FieldAll drama is conflict. Without conflict, there is no action. Without action, there is no character. Without character, there is no story. And without story, there is no screenplay.
Syd FieldBut over the years, I've learned not to believe too much in luck or accidents; T think everything happens for a reason. There's something to be learned from every moment, every experience we encounter during the brief time we spend on this planet. Call it fate, call it destiny, call it what you will; it really doesn't matter.
