Interesting take on why some screenwriters succeed and many do not. Are there a set of skills you can learn, hone, and fine tune to the point that you can succeed? Well, you have to believe that. Otherwise, it falls to the conventional "no talent" answer.  The no talent answer is hard to take based on the junk that gets made in Hollywood. But accepting that someone can teach you the skills to write like Charlie Kaufman or Spike Jonze, that's hard to accept as well! What's your take? (NOTE: this is NOT a promotion for Corey Mandell)
