If you are interested in writing stories, that you want to see on the big screen one day then this might be for you.
Every idea that pops up in my mind is a project that can be turned into something interesting. Some might be bad ideas and some might be really good ideas it all depends on how well you can expand on your ideas and let your brain go crazy.
It can be creating new characters, setting the theme of a story, writing down all the ideas that can come to mind and see which one stick. Most importantly selling your ideas to producer who will then adapt your work.
Going out in the open and finding ideas that can be used for scripts, just taking the bus can lead to tons of new ideas in one's mind. Observing how people interact with each other and the world can make your brain imagine a lot of different scenarios which can be put in a story that you are making. The typical day of a screenwriter consist in finding inspiration.
Screenwriters don't really have a designated workplace, some can work from home in a closed off environment their they want be bothered, but it might not lead to any groundbreaking idea. While some go outside and treat the world as a workplace.
Anyone with a good imagination can become a screenwriter, since it's essential to have a creative mind if you hope of becoming one. Start by writing short scripts with the idea of filming each scene in your head.
The lowest can be around $30 000 while the highest can go up to $55 000 per scripts while in some cases it can go well-beyond the 100k but that's really rare.
You can take writing classes to further develop your writing skills, lots of people interested in screenwriting go to film school to expand their knowledge. Some begin their careers by obtaining a bachelor's or master's degree in film studies at an accredited university to further show off their capabilities.
Running out of ideas, being forgotten by the public and well sometimes your work can be hated which might cause some stress.
It's not impossible, but it all depends on whether or not the robot can replicate human emotions and, if it can truly mimic the complexity of the human mind in it's writing then I guess beating it would be complicated.
There is no real age in which you can retire as a screenwriter, you could do it for as long as you like and for as long as you still have some good ideas.
Right now I have finished writing one of my scripts, and I am hoping to film it soon enough.
