I relate to this so much!! Don't worry, you're not alone in those feelings. It's all fun and games until you have to actually sit down and write the thing, right?

I completely understand this, I'm currently trying to write my short film for class and it is terrifying!

I feel you! As an aspiring writer as well I look at my ideas and start overthinking that they aren't good enough, and it ends up killing my motivation. But the first step is always the most challenging and no great writer will have a finalised screenplay in their first draft. All the best with your future work!

I’m a college screenwriter and it took me three years to get to a point where I felt like I could actually write when I wanted to and be satisfied with the effort, not necessarily the final product. This is so important!

Also know fear is good - it shows how much you care. Feed off of it. You got this.
