The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Only the educated are free.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Who seeks shall find.
Well done is better than well said.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
I can, therefore I am.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To me, it all comes down to things being character-driven. It's hard for me to look beyond that. CG and all this cool stuff - so be it. But to me, it pretty much begins and ends with character-driven plots rather than technologically-driven plots.
