- What is it? Do you have it? You probably have SOME - so the far more important questions are actually “What KIND Do You Have?” and “What Will You DO With It?”
This video will get into that stuff. Because that’s what will help.

This is so nurturing Glenn. There are a lot on that list I wouldn’t usually think of as talents because our society values and approves on some more than others; ones that don’t make a lot of money are often overlooked. Feeling validated- thank you for the reminder …also great shirt and always love the outtakes and “CEO of everything” intros 😂💯
thank you so much, maisey!!!
I believe you have a hidden talent for teaching Glenn. There is NO other source, I can find, that teaches writing as honestly and succinctly as you. Thank you again Professor.
Thank you so much - a message like this is the most important reward a teacher can get!
Thanks for this video. It's always good to be reminded that we don't have to tick all the boxes.
Always good to know we don't have to do the impossible, right?
Great video, Glenn. I love your positivity, warmth, and generosity. Your videos are very uplifting and inspiring.
Thank you so much!
Great video! So reassuring to hear that some talents are still valuable even if they don't make quick money. Removed lots of self-doubt😊
Thank you, wonderful to know it helps! Yes, it's not anyone's favorite truth to hear - but it is true and it should give some comfort and empowerment to remember money isn't always a good way to judge ANYthing in the arts :)
Hey Glenn, big fan here. Thank you for another fantastically practical and encouraging video. I’m not sure if this is useful for you but I find that your intro music is often disproportionately louder than your speaking voice either side, and I often turn the volume down and back up. It may just be me and my sensitive ears. And it is very epic at that volume.
Thanks for all you do, looking forward to the next video!
Hi Alice! It IS useful, thank you. I keep trying to "mix it" lower but it comes out annoyingly loud. I will keep working on it, hopefully new videos will be easier on the ears. Thank you so much for being a fan, please don't hesitate to comment or advise :)
Thank you so much for your videos!..... they have help me a lot, specially with the part of "do the work", for many years I didn´t do anything, just have that idea of "I would like to write" but keep waiting "something".... until I had enough and begin to do the work... now I have done 3 scripts, and I have shown it to people... they would be something else some day?... who knows? (I hope they do), but I like writing them, I like that from nothing... PAF!, there is something, a story that wasn´t there before.
And as I say before, you were/are a big part of that, and for ever I´ll be in your debt. ;)
It's so great to hear that I have been helpful in a practical way! Thank you!
You have no idea how much your existence has improved my creative journey and even my happiness… ❤
Gosh! That's pretty amazing to hear, thank you.
Thank you so much Glenn! You talented man:) Thanks to your generosity of Spirit, and sharing of your talents, I'm exploring new worlds in my writing & biz progression. I hope the novel is going well:) Donna
Thank you, Donna! I am so grateful to hear this.
Leaving a comment - a. for Glenn (thank you for your work) and b. the algorithm.
I'm grateful for both the message and the algorithmic boost!
I want to say that I appreciate you showing us the bloopers at the end of these videos. It emphasizes the idea you express that nothing will be perfect the first time around and that we need to embrace our failures in order to make progress. Leading by example: I respect that :)
Your content is also high quality and I appreciate that as well. Thank you for your work.
Thank you so much! Indeed, nothing will be perfect ANY time around - and that's okay :)
I don't remember where I heard it, but one loose definition of an artist that I like is, 'struggling to express yourself against the limitations of your own ability'. Somehow that makes it feel less lonely or intimidating, and less status driven. No matter how much knowledge we have or progress we make, there will always be the desire to go a step further. Even 'the greats' have/had to deal with that.
Yes! Though for me it took a long time to get to "...against the limitations of your expectations." Because if we're really working to our abilities, we should be joyous. It's the expectation of it being something ELSE than that, for me, that was so hard to work through. Maybe TMI...
@@writingforscreens I guess I'm saying that my limitation is my actual ability - which is a threshold below my expectations.
So, yeah the 'expectation' is perhaps the thing that motivates me, even though expectation is multifaceted and intangible. Somehow the words struggle and limitation is a reminder I'm making incremental progress even if it doesn't always feel that way, because even mistakes help to define what I don't like or don't want. And even when I get nowhere, I'd rather waste time getting nowhere than not try.
@@Ruylopez778 Very well said!
Your Outlining (using Mac Pages) has been so immensely helpful. Thank you for that so much. I'm brand new to your channel, from a Film Courage video. I would still be trying to find an outline method that clicked but now I'm good. I'm writing fiction but I think in scenes.
I think scripts and fiction have many areas of overlap - and sometimes applying the lessons of the other form will bring an extra depth to either one. Thanks!
Right in the bull's-eye of the Venn diagram of Realism, Actionable steps and Encouragement, as always! Perhaps sharing knowledge and teaching is an important part of talent that provides further self-reflection, motivation and satisfaction? Certainly it seems to come naturally to you, and makes a pleasant change from the reductive and dogmatic attitude of many writers and gurus. It's also interesting how each of these videos complements and reinforces other concepts you've shared - chiefly, approaching everything with an open mind and paying careful attention.
Thank you so much! I'm blushing :) But seriously it really is THE "payoff" for me to have the things I'm trying to accomplish here be named like this. Thank you.
Oh, you made me want a video just on feedback! Any chance you've got a video on giving feedback in the pipeline?
Thank you for all your work. These videos have been very helpful.
Interesting! I'm working on one about GETTING feedback, but hadn't thought one about giving it...I may turn that into a livestream lesson, I think. Thank you for the idea/request!! (If you have specific questions about giving feedback that needs more urgent attention, email me at writingforscreens@gmail.com)
Knowledge,Skills,Tools and Practice------it is really a great lesson. Thank you.
Thank YOU, it is so meaningful to me to hear that my ideas have been understood and are helpful!!
Another upload. Thank you sir!!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!!
lovely non fatalistic take and call to action
Thank you so much, what a wonderful description of it!
Glenn, thank you for this great breakdown and build up of 'talent'. Every point you raise is meaningful and helpful. All of your videos are inspiring, and useful. All peace and strength to you :))))
Thank YOU, so much!!

You are so welcome!
I love your content, man. Thank you! Keep it up.
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you sir!
Any time!
The weirdest thing about talent : You think you've got plenty of it before you get the writing gig. And after you're offered a writing gig, you're like geez, I've got none of it! What should I do now?😂😢
Take a deep breath, keep operating as if their "mistaken" belief in you is justified. You never know: you might have more than you think - or the task might require less than you fear! Fake it 'til you make it!
ok, but let's address the important questions: what is the ice cream cone in the back (a lamp?) and where do I get one?
Yes, it's an old store display - I got it at a vintage-junk store 25 years ago. It has a hole in ther back for the electrical cord if you want to put a light inside.
