Rosanne Welch's video: 32 You Should Write What Emotions You Know from Why Researching Screenwriters Has Always Mattered

A clip from my keynote speech (http://rosannewelch.com) at the 10th Screenwriters´(hi)Stories Seminar for the interdisciplinary Graduation Program in "Education, Art, and History of Culture", in Mackenzie Presbyterian University, at São Paulo, SP, Brazil, focused on the topic "Why Researching Screenwriters (has Always) Mattered." I was especially pleased with the passion these young scholars have toward screenwriting and it's importance in transmitting culture across the man-made borders of our world.

It doesn't mean,   to me, you should write your experiences only. It  means you should write the emotions that you know   because the emotions are what are universal  and that's what sells to other people.
