Screenwriting 101: Donald Margulies

“Research can be seductive. Writers try to convince themselves that research is writing but the truth is research is research… But there comes a time when you have to say, ‘That’s enough research’ and confront the beast — the script — and start writing… Research is useful as inspiration, but it mustn’t become an excuse not to write.”

— Donald Margulies
