“Go stand in a place where you feel uncomfortable, until you’re there long enough that it is.” — Ryan Coogler
As writers and filmmakers, we have to be willing to do the uncomfortable things. That means exploring hard emotions, writing the scenes we want to avoid, and telling deeper truths in our work. Growth does not happen when we always stay in what feels easy.
The more comfortable you become with discomfort, the stronger and more honest your writing can become. Sometimes the uncomfortable scene, feeling, or truth is exactly where your best work is waiting.
Once you tap into this your chances of being hired, staffed, and produced increase exponentially.
