While the technical definition of “Professional Writer” is that they are paid for their work, there are key privileges acknowledged by the WGA at that level of achievement–and there are essential standards and best practices.
Chief among expectations is the conceptual expertise, though key talents and facets of one’s skill set are not always obvious to industry outsiders and new writers and artists breaking in.
Writing with a plan refers to the cleverness that inspires and motivates a project. It also originates from one’s creative voice, facility for making distinctions, a writer’s ownership of the derivative nature of one’s story to differentiate the project from all others and to develop specific moments of pertinent entertainment.
The more subtle aspects of commitment to professional education are also not obvious–even as prior works or recognized feats may establish a trajectory as an artist.
From time commitment, contiguous creative momentum, adherence to a regimen, adjustments of time management, comprehension of stages of work and intervals of evaluation–and integration of tools, a few of which JG will describe at the Mini-Camp–these lifestyle and workstyle factors will invariably impact the success of a project and help focus a career mindset.
JG will share his view of fallacies about the creative process and entertainment business that hold writers back, as well as human nature that can keep writers from establishing their creative authority.
Normally reserved as a review and ongoing benefit for our Professional Members, we’ve opened up this Mini-Camp for Basic Training alumni and colleagues in our Creative Community as a way to meet aspiring writers and talented filmmakers. Or top success stories tend to come through alumni and friends in the business.
