"Psycho-physiological state matters – you need to be happy, relaxed, and most importantly, you need to be tolerant of ambiguity. Don’t try to understand every detail as it will drive you crazy."
This quote is taken from Chris Lonsdale - the man who believes you can learn a new language in six months.
What's interesting to me is that writing a screenplay and learning a new language are very similar.
Notices how he says you must be tolerant of ambiguity. When you truly write you have no idea what will come next, how something in the present scene might affect a future scene, etc. You've got to be able to go with the flow and be comfortable with not understanding how every element of that scene might be addressed/adjusted in the future based on future scenes.
Here's a link to his lecture:
