I’ve seen a lot of screenwriting books from people who have no film or TV credits. I tend to listen to and gravitate toward people who have walked the walk. I thought it was a catchy title and would help people catch mistakes they might be making. There’s another one called How NOT to Write a Screenplay by Denny Martin Flinn. I feel like you get inside your head and start second-guessing yourself. My over/under is like five pages a day. I caution people not to read too many screenwriting theory books. If you write five pages a day every day you can get there. The truth is, you can totally write a screenplay in 21 days. I read that the first screenwriting book you read was How to Write a Movie in 21 Days Lauri Donahue spoke with Gary about his screenwriting career. In addition to writing for both film and TV, in both live-action and animation, he’s also written novels, video games, and comics and he’s been a video gaming journalist. He’s perhaps best known for co-writing Rogue One, the first stand-alone Star Wars movie. Gary Whitta’s an unusually versatile writer.
