  • Donald F. Glut has been active in both the entertainment and publishing industries since 1966. Don has had a long and varied career. He has been a professional musician, actor, film director, executive producer, photographer, magazine editor, proofreader and (very briefly, for an advertising agency) copywriter, but is mostly known for his long career as a freelance writer. He has written and directed feature-length motion pictures, documentaries and music videos, authored approximately 80 fiction and non-fiction published books, myriad TV scripts (live action and animation shows, network and syndicated), comic-book scripts, short stories, magazine articles, even music and theatre. He has been involved with numerous popular franchises such as Star Wars, The Monkees, Tarzan, Spider-Man, Transformers, G.I. Joe, Vampirella, Masters of the Universe, The Flintstones, Jonny Quest and many others, and created original comic-book characters for Gold Key, Marvel and DC. Arguably Don is best known for his novelization of the second "Star Wars" movie The Empire Strikes Back (#1 Best Seller). Don currently executive-produces, writes and directs "traditional-style" horror for his company Pecosborn Productions, and writes scripts for The Creeps horror comics magazine. Also, he is a Southern California representative of Las Vegas Talent Agency. Note: Any motion picture titles that may be listed prior to Dinosaur Valley Girls (1997) are of amateur movies, the first of 41 of which Don Glut made when he was nine years old.

    I remember those fanzines! I published some of them myself -- mimeographing them in high school, then mailing them out to 30-40 people. That was a fun time. That is how I got into writing, too. As he said, I looked around and thought to myself, "Well, I can do something as good as that," and off I went. There was something kind of pure about it. I was doing it entirely for the fun of it, for the joy of writing and putting it together. No concern for "success" or acclaim. Just the intrinsic satisfaction of creativity.

    Sorry, but what was the answer to the titular question? ...some of these other comments seem like bots because they're saying it was a great answer, but like... he didn't answer, he just told the story of how he, personally started writing, and it didn't exactly sound like it was fraught with challenges he couldn't handle.

      I suppose being told "do the work" and "connect with people" isn't what you were looking for? Probably also want to get paid before you've done anything that actually matters. And I suppose "Famous Monsters of Filmland" isn't quite famous enough for you too either. Geez.

      Hey, look. You don't know how many of us need a jump start...many creatives struggle with impostor syndrome before they get started. They get analysis paralysis. Or, they're so doubtful they never write their future Academy Award-winning screenplay.

      @@kristincox0212 Hi Kristin. Unfortunately, that particular comment was just a joke 🙂But my own view on this is the following: Focus on the things that you FEEL are within reach of your potential; give it a serious try, and accept that it could fail. Or try again in a slightly new way. You learn a lot by each serious attempt.
      Success also depends on other people's taste. Listen to their feedback - and know that they could be wrong. Remember that J.K. Rowling initially got rejected by many people with really bad taste.
