Problem: A screenplay writer (also called screenwriter for short), scriptwriter or scenarist is a writer who practices the craft of screenwriting, writing screenplays on which mass media, such as films, television programs, comics or video games, are based.

Screenwriting is a freelance profession. No education is required to become a professional screenwriter, just good storytelling abilities and imagination. Screenwriters are not hired employees but contracted freelancers. Most, if not all, screenwriters start their careers writing on speculation (spec) and so write without being hired or paid for it. If such a script is sold, it is called a spec script. What separates a professional screenwriter from an amateur screenwriter is that professional screenwriters are usually represented by a talent agency. Also, professional screenwriters do not often work for free, but amateur screenwriters will often work for free and are considered "writers in training." Spec scripts are usually penned by unknown professional screenwriters and amateur screenwriters.

There are a legion of would-be screenwriters who attempt to enter the film industry, but it often takes years of trial-and-error, failure, and gritty persistence to achieve success. In "Writing Screenplays that Sell", Michael Hague writes, "Screenplays have become, for the last half of [the twentieth] century, what the Great American Novel was for the first half. Closet writers who used to dream of the glory of getting into print now dream of seeing their story on the big or small screen."

Problem: Once upon a time, there was a boy named Freddy. And Freddy loved his mom very much, and his mom loved him very much too. One day, Freddy went outside to ride his bike. On the way out, his mother told him, "Remember to wear your helmet," and Freddy grabbed his helmet and met his friends outside. When he was putting on his helmet, his friends told him, "Helmets are for girls! You're not cool if you wear a helmet!" Freddy thought about what his mom told him, but he wanted to be cool like his friends, and he took off his helmet.

Freddy and his friends went on a long adventure, and they rode all the way to the top of the largest hill in their neighborhood. Looking down, Freddy was scared. He had never ridden down this hill before. His friends said, "What are you, scared?" Freddy did not want to come off as scared. He hopped on his bicycle, and down he went. Freddy started speeding up, going very, very fast. He pressed his brakes, but oh no, his brakes weren't working. Freddy, speeding down the hill, did not know what to do. He got to the end of the hill and slammed right into a tree. He awoke the next day in the hospital.

At the hospital, his mother was there. Freddy opened his eyes and told his mom the whole story. He told her how we would never do that again, and how he would always wear his helmet. His mom gave him a big kiss on the forehead, and Freddy knew his mother was right in the beginning. She didn't have to say it. In the end, Freddy learned that it's important to not care what other people think, and those that think you're not cool because you wear a helmet are the ones that aren't cool in the first place.
