Thank you, George. Good advice on advice. 😁
Movies are a related subject for me because the advice that works on becoming a better writer, will apply to becoming a better screenwriter and/or producer of good flicks.
There is also a subjective element to all of this. I have read stories or articles that left me weak-kneed they were that good and yet the author could never crest the hill and become well-known. Same for movies.
I've watched movies on DVD that were almost flawless - and yes, made only $232 at the box office.
What we can control is our craft. As you state, put in the work and become good and what you do and create the best platform that you can for what you do. Then move forward.
Thanks George. 👍😊
