Dumb it down. Simplify it so that actors and readers can easily read your outline/story. Like a campfire story.

Extremely frustrating when I am requested and directed to dumb down my writing so that others can "easily" comprehend it.

This means to me that thinking skills lack, no need to mention crit...

Ted Hope has been warning about the death of indie film for decades. Can't recommend his blog and his book (Hope for Film) enough. It was guaranteed the second the long-tail returns of DVD/TVOD were r...

Headspace

I’m having some writer’s block. What are some of your rituals or Ways you get into your writing headspace?

Ewan Dunbar

Agree with the comments about taking a break. Give yourself a few days where you put your script away and do something completely different. This means that you can come back to your script refreshed and with a more open perspective.

Don't beat me up, but washing dishes in hot, soapy water unclogs my brain. That, and getting outdoors. Nature can really boost your creativity.

I just go live life for a while. My subconscious works on my problems and I get a new look at the world which is fuel for my writing.
