I used to draw with this old Disney artist named Sam Singer, he worked on Snow White. He told me he got in fist fights with co-workers daily. “You have to understand, back then, Americans thought what Hitler was doing was good and they would tell me to my face.”

Sometimes I hear people say “I’m not very good at writing” but they don’t realize it’s a practiced skill just like drawing. You have to run through a ton of badly written scenes/ scripts to learn how to write. Here’s some tips I’ve learned over the years.

Biggest problem with getting good quality shows on Netflix, there is no financial incentive to deliver a great show. You get paid the same no matter what you give them. I honestly think this is why you don’t get more Squid Game level shows from Netflix.

Number 1) don’t write without a specific voice in mind for every character. I’ll use a friend or even actor or combination to get a clear voice in my head. Don’t write generic characters make them specific.

I remember this really good artist told me “drawing is like breathing, it’s so easy I don’t even think” but I’m 42 and every time I sit to draw it’s like I’m getting in a fight and I don’t show the 150 fights I lose for every fight I just get lucky by sheer force of will.

One of the most horrifying things about working in animation is the first look deals We all sign when working at a major studio. They own everything you create for next to nothing. I’ll never sign that type of contract again, but We need that predatory practice to stop.

Number 2) don’t be scared of a script. I wish I had started scripting earlier instead of writing while boarding. You’re missing out on making your scenes 10x better. Also John Hughes wrote his movies in 3 days. Write your entire movie in 3-5 days, your entire pilot in 2-3 days.

If it’s supposed to be funny, you better laugh out loud, if it’s supposed to be scary, you should be scared. If you’re bored, cut it. It’s better for the audience to be confused than bored.

Jump back and forth between the two creative methods. Try one movie where you plot it out, you break down similar films, analyze how many scenes are in each act and where the plot points are. Then write a movie without any plan straight ahead. You need both skills.
