Hey, welcome to the screenwriting life. I'm Meg Lafour. And I'm

L'Orian McKenna. We are professional screenwriters. We've worked together as a

team and separately. We've worked on studio and indie films, live action and

animation from my work on Inside Out and

Captain Marvel.

To my work in Pixar Story Department on Up, Brave, and Inside Out.

We are here to share our insights on the craft of screenwriting and also the life.

Had a not only survive the ups and downs, but thrive.

We want to help you become the best screenwriter you can be

and to reassure you that you are not alone on this journey. Hey guys welcome back to the screenwriting life. Today we're talking about

knowing when to call it quits on a project,

but to still feel the confidence to continue in your journey.

So this is something every writer, really

every artist faces at some point in their journey.

So today we're gonna chat about it.

But before our topic, we're gonna talk about our weeks

or what we like to call Adventures in Screenwriting.

Lorian, how is your week?

Really good.

I was very productive, so I always feel good when I had a productive week.

I worked on, I have a project in development, and so it's an adult animated project that I am really excited about. I've been working on it for a very long time and we are moving forward and getting amazing character design,

which is really exciting to see these characters come to life
