They say you're supposed to write what you know. If Jon Snow were a writer he'd write nothing... because "you know nothing, Jon Snow." Terrible jokes aside, I hope you all have a great weekend! Writing what you know is a great way to start, but don't limit yourself to that. Reach into the beyond, … Continue reading Friday Fun – Write What You Know

Christopher McQuarrie On Writing
I love the "Mission: Impossible" movies. Every single one I've seen has been great, and the most recent continues on with that trend. Christopher McQuarrie is a special case with the series as he's the first person to come back and direct a second movie. It's amazing how he's been able to keep the series … Continue reading Christopher McQuarrie On Writing
Friday Fun – Like Twitter, But Longer
What is the world coming to??? Bookstores are going the way of Blockbuster, and this is what happens. I can only see the English Lit. classes of the future... "Okay kids. Last night J.K. Rowling tweeted the first sentence of her newest Twook (Twitter book). Let's discuss. What does it mean?"
Ol Parker On Writing
I don't think I've posted up about writing a musical before, so here's something new for you. If you're a fan, great, but if not next week I'll likely be posting about "Mission Impossible"... because every single one of those films is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcSMdhfKga4 "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" was a wonderful musical with … Continue reading Ol Parker On Writing
Friday Fun – Fill In The Blanks
This week for Friday Fun, I'm going to let you tell me the jokes for once! They better be at least, if not more, funny than mine. It's "Calvin and Hobbes," so really this should be a piece of cake. If it's creative enough, I'll post the one I like the most next week! This … Continue reading Friday Fun – Fill In The Blanks
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar On Writing
This week we're traveling into some cool territory, straight "Into the Badlands." Action movies and shows are aplenty, but I haven't seen a good martial arts story in a while. If you need your fix, this is where you can get it. Every episode of this show has epic and amazing fight scenes that are … Continue reading Alfred Gough and Miles Millar On Writing
Friday Fun – Time Travel Makes Anything Possible
If you're looking for a great idea for a time travel script... don't use one like this! Or do, and then travel into the past and tell yourself how that worked out.
Kyle Hunter, Ariel Shaffer and Ben Karlin On Writing
"Future Man" has to be one of my favorite shows of the past year, and I haven't heard mention of it anywhere. I can't believe I haven't posted about this show yet, but it's absolutely worth a watch. This Hulu Original is a crazy comedy about time travel, borrowing influences from classic movies like "Terminator" … Continue reading Kyle Hunter, Ariel Shaffer and Ben Karlin On Writing
Brad Bird On Writing
Over the past weekend I saw "Incredibles 2," and it was everything I hoped for it to be. It has been 14 years since the first one, so I really didn't know what to expect this time around. Right before the movie I was talking about how much I love Pixar movies, and my friends … Continue reading Brad Bird On Writing
Dan Harmon On Writing
Look at that guy. That right there is the creator of "Rick and Morty." I think he knows you're looking at him... This is possibly one of the craziest, most intelligent, and funniest shows on TV, and to top it off it's a cartoon. You have to see it to understand, and once you've seen … Continue reading Dan Harmon On Writing
