What is writing screenplay like?

The process is like a woman in different stages of child labor; with occasional sharp pains but in the brain this time. It is hard, painstaking, solitary and time-consuming. Sometimes you laugh, while at it. Sometimes you cry, sometimes you shout and sometimes you talk to someone. But once you PUSH out the last bit of the idea, and the BABY is born, you heave a sigh of relief and can’t wait to start the process all over again with another idea.

The joy is incomplete until you hear people’s comment about your life’s work, your screenplay, your film… your BABY. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is bad, people will give it different interpretation but at the end of the day, if your screenplay achieves what you set out to achieve, then your job is done. Your BABY turned out well.
