I get so used to working with writers that my prime occupation is development.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do enjoy working with writers.
Writing is a creatively rewarding occupation but for me very time consuming.
Mainly I love working on good writing.
Being a professional screenwriter is perhaps the hardest occupation. Because nothing is ever yours and, by the nature of the medium, you are never ultimately responsible for your work. It can be interesting - if you have another outlet.
I like working with writer-directors because you can solve problems right there.
Writing, for me, has always been a way of not having a career.
My approach is to treat writing very much as a job.
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
The core of my career is my teaching and my writing.
I've carved out a career for myself really as a writer.
