You might wonder how writing poetry can help your writing, especially if your main interest is writing screenplays. No matter the genre, the more you write, the better you write.
Emile Zola, the French novelist had a very special way to put this idea into words.
His motto was
Nulla dies sine Linea, which can be translated by " Not a day without writing a line".
He did not say without writing many lines, no, just one single line can be fine. Your writing skills are like a muscle that needs to be keep nice and fine. Exercicing is thus preponderant. You can get any kind of exercices you want. For instance, why not take a pause from your daily writing routine and take part to a writing contest?
If you do not have the luxury of time, you can try out a poetry contest. There are so many contests over the net. Why not trying to enter the one who suits you best? Sometimes, you can win a money prize or just your name printed on some book, with the faint hope of eventual royalties. So, why not give it a try?
