When you face the flashing cursor and begin to write you can draw from two main sources, other movies and books OR your own life experiences. What you have done, seen and heard about in your own life. Often the first results in imitation, the second in fresh innovation. Learn how to incorporate your life experiences into all your work from drama to sci-fi, the stronger work is the one where you put a bit of yourself into it.
