BEING PICKY CAN BE GOOD
By Craig Kellem

It's important to understand that, unlike the impression that we all get from the instant gratification-oriented media, creating a successful, viable screenplay, is a very challenging process which requires patience, persistence, and sometimes inch-by-inch upgrading and improvement. One must sometimes be prepared to experience this challenging truth, and fully understand the time and energy required to get to the place that you desire. This can be critical perception. The other critical thing to know is that--it's the nature of giving notes to often be "picky" to some extent and relentless in trying to make things work. But do not be discouraged by what may seem to be negative. There are many scripts with real potential which still require painstaking scrutiny etc and this must not be interpreted as something ominous. It's simply business as usual as it pertains to the screenwriting biz.
