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
