When you're writing a story in bits and pieces, month in and month out, there really isn't time or space for reflection, no room to learn what those scripts had to teach you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Writing is a hard gig, and it's hard to convey a lot. That's why scripts tend to be a little bit overwritten.
Whenever you're writing something that's reflective, you have to put yourself through some sort of ordeal just to understand the way you're feeling.
The script is always the main preparation for me. Sometimes you have a period piece where you have to research around it, but if the writers have done their homework well enough, the information is all in the script.
The problem with writing a monthly book is that you're going through your work like a man running for a bus, red-faced and out of breath. There isn't time for reflection or critical self-examination.
Reflection is not something you have a lot of time for.
Sometimes you have a period piece where you have to research around it but, if the writers have done their homework well enough, the information is all in the script.
A different script calls for different things. It always takes me a long time to get to know the part, and know the logic behind the words. I have to be with the script for quite a long time before things start to fall into place, before they become part of the character.
I envision the script as a story in my mind, memorize the entire thing and have it play out. It helps me figure out where my character needs to go.
It was pretty much the way that it was when I first read it, although one exception would be that some ideas that I had were also incorporated into the script.
If the script is telling the story well, that is your inspiration, and you do not need to go somewhere else.
