On Finishing a Fast Draft:

“If you are using dialogue — say it aloud as you write it. Only then will it have the sound of speech.”

– JOHN STEINBECK

“When I’m writing, I’m playing all the parts; I’m saying the lines out loud…it’s the greatest feeling.”

– AARON SORKIN

“A bad script WRITTEN is still better than an amazing one THAT ISN’T.”

– TAIKA WAITITI

“The first draft of the script is always not good. But that’s okay… Be wrong as fast as you can.”

– ANDREW STANTON

“You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page.”

– PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE

“Try this trick where you take a handheld  recorder and you speak out your scripts into it. It forces you to get a vomit draft out…you’re gonna get impeccable pacing.”

– MARK DUPLASS

“When I’m writing the first draft, I’m constantly reminding myself that I’m simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.”

– JORDAN PEELE
