Writing Easy

28 - Trying funky stuff


Listen Later

Another week another episode focused on Pixar Rules! We're tackling PLOT and we're discussing rules #9, #12, and #19. 

#9: When you’re stuck, make a list of what WOULDN’T happen next. Lots of times the material to get you unstuck will show up.
 
#12: Discount the 1st thing that comes to mind. And the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th – get the obvious out of the way. Surprise yourself.
 
#19: Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating.
