This dude wrote the Bill & Ted movies and the Men in Black movies. Thanks for making my childhood better Ed!

Thanks Ed. Delivering one this week and that just freed me.

I like this guy!! I am going to follow his advice! (:

This is absolutely spot on. Writing is freedom of creation and shouldn't be stifled by rules. The most important word in a writer's vocabulary - finished! Then the work can begin.

I get Ed. Personally I can't start from an emptiness and I just have to start from some meaningless piece. And that piece will lead to something bigger. But that hard to sit down and say I am writing in this genre, I'll have these set of characters to easily describe the whole story with a sentence and than start.

I totally agree with him. A script has to be organic and all the events should be part of the whole not as just separate events you put in just to fill because at 30th minute something has to happen. Very good.

[TheObnubilators]
