    If you have writers block: Make sure that it's a project you actually want to write about. Stop thinking, just start writing, your first draft is going to be a complete fucking mess, but you can fix that. It's not like the first draft is going to be the one the world sees. Write an absolute disaster, but write something.

    I have tried watching Mr. Robot twice, and both of the times I fell out of it. I couldn't wrap my head around what was happening by like the 2nd season or something. Maybe that is the genius of the show, I guess? It's like you're hallucinating with Elliot. I don't know. I plan to restart/resume someday, but I don't know when that's going to happen.

    I’m gonna keep it real, and this is clearly a minority opinion here, but I absolutely loved the first season, and recommended the show to others based purely on the strength of that first season, but every season following that I liked it less and less and was almost completely checked out by the end of the 4th season. I liked it best when it was mostly reality-based and simple. Once it became, “Oh, this person never actually existed, it was all in his mind,” and, “This transgender Chinese government cyber general is psychologically torturing everyone!” and, “Oh, we’re gonna cold open a season with entire episodes in a completely new environment/situation without explanation, and then eventually reveal that it was all a dream, except some parts of it weren’t!” it really started losing me.

    I admire both Vince Gilligan and Quentin Tarantino however I can see Vince say 'I write with the end in mind' (so opposite to Tarantino) huge part of Breaking Bad as a show and why it's brilliant. He wanted a story where a character completely changes because historically in TV (back in the day) this wasn't the case

    It is weird that the one very important thing that makes every musician great one - is simply missing. Everyone likes something short and flashy. Something you can understand right here and right now without growing as a professional. This magical thing is called... practice. And you don't need to end up in a car accident. And you simply can't start playing good by getting crazy. You need to practice. And it takes time. None of this was shown in the movie. Because it's "boring". Because music is when you just take new instrument, go through mental breakdown - that's it. Boom! You are genius. "Everyone must eat fast food". And this is not how real life works, fortunately.

    The real danger of this video is how it takes Tarantino's words and makes it suit its own assertions going as far as presuming to know 100% what he was referring to (which is simply not true) and then the arrogance of naming actual scenes that got scrapped or not. You don't know that! It's BS.

      Didn't hear a single wrong thing with what he said. Don't force the story into something it's not, even if you think you have a good idea it's not good if it doesn't work within the rest of the story. When writing take time to think about what the story is before you start writing. If working in a group, do that together. Help the story come together through collaboration and an understanding of where each characters head should be in each given scene. Don't make the downfalls of characters come from sudden stupidity as that is just an easy way out and feels disappointing when you have made them out to be so smart in the past. Use the things you have set up in the past to come back to later to not only make the work easier but also make it feel a lot more fleshed out and cohesive and in line with the world that you have established within the story. All of this is expanded upon the comments made in this video. If you think these points are useless I encourage you to write something half as good without them
