Declaration of Principles

Here are my “Declaration of Principles,” as Charles Foster Kane puts it, (with which I’m sure someone will Leland me in years to come).

To hold myself accountable for studying the craft of screenwriting, story, and characters by making public my thoughts, views, and learnings;
To pass on any information, articles, and events that I may find valuable to other screenwriters;
To provide a candid look at personal successes and failures of screenwriting;
To shed an intricate and critical eye on produced scripts in order to break down and understand their inner workings;
To employ a community friendly environment where readers are invited to comment and share additional information, perspectives, and opinions.

That’s it. I hope that you’ll join me on this journey. It’s going to be a long and bumpy ride, but let’s be stubborn together.
