Almost done with first feature length screenplay.  Way to go me!  I have several others lined up and I'm so excited about those, its really pushing me to finish this one.  I have a problem where I can't finish screenplays because I get too excited about the next ones!  
When I spoke to an agent at ICM who is married to a famous film director, she told me that her husband wrote every single day.  When he was working as a PA, he would come home and write a little bit.  Didn't matter if it was 10 words or 10 pages.  He always got something down on paper.  He sold a screenplay eventually, and it was met with critical acclaim.  So on the next feature he sold, he was able to negotiate a deal that set him in the director's seat. 
I have been using this knowledge as incentive to get myself to write as much as I can each and every day.  It can be tough at times!  There always seems to be something else I tell myself I need to do.  But I have been getting better.  Its one of my 3 month goals:  Write everyday.
