How can you tell if you are writing a good screenplay or not?

How can you tell if you are writing a good screenplay or not? I've been writing everyday, and I think it's going well, but I have extreme paranoia that I'm going to do all this work and it's going to be shit and never get any better.

Also no I won't share my idea or post my screenplay.

Find people who have good but varying tastes and get them to read it.

If you won't share your work with others you will never get better.

Get someone to read it. Saying you wont do the one thing necessary to do isn't going to get you anywhere.

writers write because it's enjoyable to write. i have over 700,000 pages of unpublished material. most of it's been rejected but commercial standards don't matter. most of it is """fanfiction""" because the suits don't want to promote fursonas even though they're massively popular. none of it matters. a writer writes. whether or not the Man accepts it makes no difference at all. write because you enjoy writing, not because you want to be the #1 film of all time behind avatar. that probably won't happen. but you will discover things within yourself if you keep writing. that's reward enough.

Yeah, I understand that but I can also understand not sharing it on 4chan. Unless you want to run the risk of being meme'd into oblivion.

I don't think anyone is gonna give a shit about your screenplay and if you can't share it here then you need to go and share it somewhere.

You can pay to have it reviewed by the Black List though their reviewers are not all of a high quality from what I can tell.

Just post a page so we can judge your style...

this guy is on point.

also, to some degree at least, you'll get better with time.
