2015 Austin Film Festival and Conference Schedule

You promise you’ll start writing in a minute. You just need to optimize your environment first! And there’s no point in writing when you’re hungry, so you better eat, too. And now Family Feud is on. Stretches of unproductive time are such a part of writer culture that they’ve become something of a trope in actual screenwriting; let’s not forget the Seinfeld episode in which Jerry and George procrastinate writing so much that they come up with “nothing.” Even good writers can have bad habits, but it helps when there’s a method to the madness. Come and find out how to structure your time, set up your space to encourage productivity, and start treating screenwriting like a career, even when the paid writing jobs are sparse to non-existent.
