If you want to write something, don’t sit down in front of a blank screen, just, if you want to write something - have a vague think about what you want to write about, start taking notes, get somewhere like either a notebook, or a thing online, or a thing in your computer where you’re collecting every thought you have about the show, and don’t write it for ages. Writing is kind of like having a poo, basically; it’s really hard if you don’t want to go, but there’s a time when you have to go. And that’s what it should be like. There should be a time when you’ve put so much stuff in your subconscious, you’re just so excited about writing it, that you just have to sit down and get going. That’s really the secret, that’s where people falter, because they start writing too soon. They don’t know where to go, they sit down, they don’t know what the characters sound like, they don’t know what the world feels like, they don’t know what the tone should be. They haven’t put enough thought into those things.
