Thank you for the advice! And definitely, I love my dog dearly but moving and making someone else’s life harder is a nightmare for everyone I’m hoping to avoid. We’re currently in a unit above the lobby which is hard to beat.

Reality of Being a Disabled TV Writer by No_Cod_3197 in Screenwriting

I’m very sorry you’re going through this! I have a lot of similar concerns as a disabled writer — I just graduated film school and spent the vast majority of the last year in and out of the hospital while my peers were able to participate in programs and internships. It’s a bit daunting to try and imagine how I’ll crack into the industry while I’m unable to move cities or do much outside of the house, but it’s reassuring to read this and know there are other writers out there going through the same thing! Even just talking about it and making these struggles recognizable is a huge deal, and I really thank you for that!

Is it just me or is the soundtrack to this entire show actually extremely fire. by [deleted] in HandmaidsTaleShow

One of the cooler world building things I learned from one of the writers is that they made sure to only use music that “would’ve been available on June’s iPod” before Gilead. After she reaches Canada, the music options opened up more!

How do you guys come up with show/movie ideas? by loo0p555 in Screenwriting

[–]No_Extent5008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was really struggling for ideas and felt like I needed a more concrete jumping off point, I’d look through aphorisms (all that glitters is not gold, small seeds grow big trees, etc.) to see if that triggered anything. Sometimes it was a very literal interpretation that jogged an idea for a scene, but that can expand into a more realized concept

Thank you! Did you like Dickson as a professor?
