When writing a TV pilot or a feature, it is so important to flesh out your characters before you even open Final Draft. So many writers skip this step – but I promise that your dialogue will be ten times better if you know the inner workings of your characters minds and have developed a detailed bac...

Good blog. Straight to the point, useful. As a contest reader myself, I can appreciate the methodology.
You're welcome, Asmaa Jamil.
Glad it's useful, Christopher Phillips.
Such an insightful blog. Very well thought out.

Been offline on a writing slog-bender. Sharing this in case it resonates or appeals to you good folks here.
Off a chat with Jake Wagner (via Stage 32!) late last year, I was prompted to write a novella version of the series pilot for a project -- THE COMMONSTATE -- currently in development (link bel...

Thanks Maurice Vaughan This sounds like a great read.
You're welcome, Daniel Husbands. It's a must-read.
Odd question, but have you ever read a script that scared you a little bit or, at the very least, freaked you out a little? And if so, what made you a little freaked out about it?

Vice was one of the most terrifying scripts because of howm uch of it happened!
Every script I've written that I've found my Character's voice and the wonderful moments when I can write through thier VOICE freaks me out!
It is the best creativity and sometimes the most difficult...
