On manufacturing inspirado....
"If your finished screenplay contains every scene you've ever written, if you've never thrown an idea away, if your rewriting is little more than tinkering with dialogue, your work will almost certainly fail. No matter our talent we all know in the midnight of our souls that 90 percent of what we do is less than our best. If however, research inspires a pace of ten to one, even twenty to one, and if you then make brilliant choices to find that 10 percent of excellence and burn the rest, every scene will fascinate and the world will sit in awe of your genius.
No one has to see your failures unless you add vanity to folly and exhibit them."
-Robert McKee
