Screenwriting 101: Michele Atkins

“Write what you love. Write with what you can align with, and feel good about. Whether it’s a success or it’s not a success, at least you didn’t sell out. You write what you love to write, you don’t try to write to fit in somewhere. You write what’s in your heart. If you fail at something, it’s yours. If you win, it’s yours. Whatever it is, make it yours.”

— Michele Atkins
