Can a Comedian really help us become better Screenwriters? I think so! We forget that many Comedians write their own jokes. Now by a show of hands, who wants to hear the same joke over and over again? I know I don't! SMH (shaking my head).
So according to Jerry Seinfeld every January he gets the priviledge of ripping down his old calendar full of "X's" and putting up a fresh, new, clean calendar with no "X's". Then, everyday that he comes up with new material he gets to make a brand new, big, red "X" on that day, then the next one, and the next one and the one after that until he creates a chain. Which by creating this chain of bright, red "X's" his daily goal is not to break the chain. For more information on Jerry's method for creative success visit: http://www.writersstore.com/dont-break-the-chain-jerry-seinfeld.
Okay. That works for Jerry Seinfeld but how's not breaking the chain going to help "us"? Well? For instance, what if your goal is to write 6 pages every day for the next 20 or 30 days? You could print your very own calendar at http://www.writersstore.com/dont-break-the-chain-calendar and start marking a big, fat, red "X" on everyday that you actually write 6 pages...but the days that you don't achieve your goal you write nothing. Not making an "X" would be a sad day and making an "X" would mean you had a happy, productive day. Use the Don't Break The Chain calendar for all of your daily, weekly, monthly goals and be more successful.
Print your Don't Break The Chain Calendar today! I heard this method is addictive.
Happy writing,
Kim
