I have blank pages
And I have no idea what to fill them with
Suggestions?

How do you get the motivation to write? I can't help but feel writing is a waste of time, due to the fact that I'm not talented enough to ever create something of market value. If publication is not the end goal, what is?

I've had two people read my script. One is a guy who actually funded his own movie (let's call him Dude 1) and the other is a guy who recently finished film school and currently reads and critiques scripts for his current job (Dude 2).

Dude 1 reads only 30 pages of my script and absolutely hates it. He says it's fundamentally broken and that's the only critique he gives. Nothing else.

Dude 2 reads my script and actually gives me notes page by page, says that he likes my writing and that my script is better than a lot of the scripts he has to read on the daily.

So when it comes to critique, especially when you have two extremes of critique, who do you trust? Whose judgement do you trust?

Also, all the people who have read my script have really liked it except for this one person. and when I told him that, he just said that people were lying to me about liking my script. I think the guy has some issues...I don't really care that he hated my work, but he didn't back up why he hated my work.
