This really hits home. I am a firm believer in the fact that if you merely put the time into something the talent will take care of itself. The sad fact is that putting that much time into anything (10,000 hours) is exhausting and eventually wears you down along the way. I have often heard it said that it takes the average screenwriter ten scripts before they actually make a sell. There are always exceptions but this seems to be about right.
The question which many have who travel this road is how to keep the fire going throughout the 10,000 hours necessary to succeed. I don't have the answer to this question. That is why I am planning to sign up for the course!

If you know ahead of time that it takes 10,000 hours, then you can arrange the appropriate resources before you begin. Ten years of 40 hour weeks to become not "expert" but masterful. "Expert" only requires about 1000 hours, I'd think.
