Striking out and becoming principally a writer makes every workday yours. As you strive toward “getting paid' to write screenplays, you can make money as a freelance writer in print and on the Internet (but be sure to learn all you can about the business of freelancing), or get a low-stress part-time gig to pay the bills. Each frees you to spend more time writing screenplays.
If you long to spend your average day in an above average way writing screenplays, start today. Do not assume that only those getting paid to do it can live the dream of screenwriting. You must first begin. Write. Live your dream!
