I'd highly recommend "On Writing" to anyone who writes. Although Stephen King is, of course, a novelist, most of his advice applies to screenwriting as well. The one bit of advice I disagreed with was not showing your work to anyone until completing your first draft. I don't think I could manage that. I crave input too much.
@@TheFeelButton Oh! I'm sorry to hear that. I limited my answer to Film Courage for something related to career. But a personal loss is definitely tougher than a material loss, imo.
Every year since 1997. Took like 13 years off of Screenwriting when I got into Real Estate. It's been hard to trying to get back into being consistent in Screenwriting.
Definitely quit your day job when you have saved enough and before you start a family. Take risks while you are young and full of energy. It just gets harder the older you get and if you have a family. Time becomes your enemy. But never be discouraged to try.
For the moment I could manage to do a 5 hour day job. I’m earning enough to pay the bills and it gives me time to write. This is a very good opportunity that I hope I can take advantage of (fingers crossed)
Will we ever meet the interview lady? She seems nice.

What has been your toughest year as an artist?
My toughest year was assimilating my dad passing.
The higher I move up the ladder, the tougher challenges are. So I could say "the next year" is the toughest year for me.
@@Amelia_PC a successful attitude if I've ever heard one.

Is it when the money you're making from client work matches or is greater than your day job?
Lycan Visuals yep
And after saving maybe a years salary from your 9-5
@@evgordon9095 My answer exactly..... _"'cos it's it's never too late to work 9 to 5"_ ;-)
You should quit your day job when your ready for success. Then you fight for it like the rest of us!

Great way to do it. If you can keep your expenses low you can spend more time creating and working on your craft.
