Make sure that whatever you're writing you have a passion for. We've all watched really horrible movies where you've got all this really beautiful stuff going on and but it just doesn't connect, where nobody can get behind it, where it feels like there's just something missing.
Because of that hole it just never takes off. There's just nothing there for to grab onto and take it into ourselves.
The reason that they're a waste of time is because there is just no passion there. It was just something somebody did just for the sake of a paycheck, and it shows. That's something you need to avoid. If you don't have passion for what you're writing for, be it something you love, something you hate, you need to have some sort of "I need to get this out of my system now" situation going on.
You need to have some sort of emotional investment in it.
If you're doing it just for the sake of doing it, it's going to show and you're going to be called on it. All you're doing is wasting everybody's time. This can happen during a project, when you all of a sudden find out that you basically have no connection to it. Sometimes, you know things aren't going to work out the way you want them to and you just need to move on. Let it go. Go on.Do something different.
There's nothing wrong with admitting something isn't working. You can tell when you've lost the passion for something and it will show. Should you complete it, it's going to be awful and you know it; you know you deserve any negative reviews. You're not going to be happy with it, the audience for it won't be happy with it, but hey, at least you finished it, right? Those kind of projects have been known to kill careers, so if you fall out of love with something, it may just be time to part ways.
If it's just something you're doing for a paycheck and everyone knows it, then you can get away with having no passion for it; you aren't expected to. But..for anything else, you need to at least start with some sort of emotional investment in what you are doing; if not, then you should feel no guilt about moving on to something else. And if you have a problem being passionate about what you're doing, it's time to find something you are passionate about.
But always have
passion in what you do. It can be a red hot love or cold blue hate, but do it with
passion.That not only ensures the best possible writing, but life is just too short to do things you have no interest in.So always do what you do with passion, and you will be amazed at what you create.
