Darwinism in the Warners Bros. Hallway

There is a trait that all Top Of The Heap Screenwriters have. I'm guessing in some it is inherent, and in others it's learned.

In evolutionary terms, it could be argued that this ability is rewarded to a greater degree than any other ability, and the absence of the trait is a career death sentence. Nobody makes it to the top without it, and everyone without it stays on the other side of the chasm.

This essay from Wordplay should be day one in Hollywood 101.
