 Whenever you write anything, it is most important to transmit a
message to your readers because this is what gives value to your work.
If
you write several beautiful words but actually convey nothing, your
work will only entertain someone for a while, but it will be forgotten
as soon as the reader finishes reading it. Thus, your purpose as an
author is to make people think about your words and feel what you are
trying to express.

 The promise of the rewrite is very sweet. I have collected evidence
that the more authentic the labor put into rewriting your screenplay,
the greater the reward, and the reward is high, for whatever lovely,
wonderful moments you might have discovered in the frightening process
of plowing through the first draft, those moments, those seeds, are
only seeds, and they only fulfill their destiny as giant, involving
scenes in the movie that screens before people. So if I shortcut my
revision, I will miss the prize, pure and simple.

 Let's say you're on an elevator, the door opens, and someone you
know steps in. She says, "I hear you're writing a book. Wow, that's
great. What's it about?"
Can you answer that question before you
get to the next floor? You may be thinking, "Of course, I can. It's my
book, isn't it?" Yes, but chances are you will be still be talking when
the elevator door opens again. Completing this critically important
sentence in 30 seconds or less is not easy. In fact, it takes most
people quite a while to describe their books in a way that other people understand.
