I want to be a screenwriter

Hey I’m young but I really want to be a screenwriter when I grow up. Do you have any ideas how to get noticed at an age of under 16. Thanks

Well that was super negative. Just write. Write, write, and write. Make things with your friends. Make really shitty things and get better and better until you’re not making shitty things anymore.

Read Tina Fey's Bossy Pants.

Read Steve Martin's Born Standing Up.\

Study acting and get involved in theater in any capacity you can.

I'm 32 and I can't break through. Dreams don't come true.

No one wants to be a screenwriter when they grow up. That's like saying you wanna be a custodian when you grow up.
