The question of writing what you love vs. what they need doesn't really fit into the category of "screenwriting tips" (which is a shame for my KZfaq SEO best practices).
It's an extremely nuanced conversation. So I talked about it at great length with my good friend and pro screenwriter, Nick Roth. We got into:
*The spectrum of what you love vs. what they need
*Being the same but different
*Pushing the envelope too far
*Several caveats to all of this!
