Wanna Be A Screenwriter?

January 20, 2009

 

Or are you one already?

Here’s Joss Whedon’s Top 10 writing tips.

My personal favorites: #6. Listen/#9. Don’t Listen.

No, really, this one (on creating characters):

Not everybody has to be funny; not everybody has to be cute; not everybody has to be delightful, and not everybody has to speak, but if you don’t know who everybody is and why they’re there, why they’re feeling what they’re feeling and why they’re doing what they’re doing, then you’re in trouble.

same here, mordsith. but you've got to start somewhere, and i think frustration is a legitimate place to start. :)
