More tips from some famous writers!
My notes from this clip:
My notes from this clip:
- How do you avoid cliches for stock characters? Well, sometimes cliches are great because they are funny.
- When creating characters you can base each character of 3 or 4 people. Usually people you know, but you can base them on actors
- Once you pick an actor that matches a character perfectly, you can read with lots of other actors to see who gels. [They did this on Twilight after casting Kristen Stewart.]
- A technique for writing dialogue is to write it, then keep removing words. As long as it still makes sense, remove dialogue until it is as tight as it can be
