How To Know Which Story To Write

\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436693186362012082\" Once I finished teaching my NYU class last night, I went looking for something to read.

Three of my students are torn between which screenplay idea to write, and I didn\’t feel I gave them a definitive answer.

When I couldn\’t find anything that appealed, nor could I find a film that I wanted to watch, I found the answer for them.

Toni Morrison said it best:

\”If there\’s a book you really want to read, but it hasn\’t been written yet, then you must write it.\”

… and the same goes for movies.

What movie or book would you most like to see or write? That\’s what you should be working on.
