I went to film school, worked as an assistant, and wrote several scripts that haven't gotten made.

When I graduated college I needed to make money while I was pursuing acting, so I read screenplays and made a living writing coverage on them for studios.

As a kid, I was just writing scripts and taking whatever film classes I could in college.

I have written a bunch of scripts that have not gotten produced, much more so early in my career than later.

I started writing movie scripts. They excited me a lot, but I didn't like them when they were finished because they were simple copies of the films I saw in childhood.

I've been a screenwriter for twenty-five years. Every one of my books have been optioned for movies and I have written a few of those screenplays.

I started writing screenplays myself and eventually directing.

I've been writing screenplays for a long time, and a lot of it came out of the journalism I was doing.

I worked at all kinds of jobs, mostly commercial editing.

I started writing short fiction very briefly, as I imagine is the case for some novelists.
