Hunch forward and glue your eyes to the page, writing compadres, and join us in this look at a few of the most emotionally satisfying TV series of all time.
And, yeppers, we’re including the Game of Thrones finale because, well, a lot of us loved it, y’know?
The best television show finales leave us wanting to watch the pilot all over again. They’re celebrations of the series and usually of the creators and cast.
Found on the interwebs, a writing trick that not only makes sense, it also embodies that much misunderstood TV term, “high concept.”
This TVWriter™ minion is telling you straight from the, um, well, the place where most people have their hearts but I’m too snarky to admit it, the following info is gold. Way to go, Beverly Peders and WeScreenplay.Com.
Back to basics because if you don’t have the vocabulary of the Industry, how can you write for it?

Bad advice for writers is everywhere, but this article by Jason Hellerman sums it up – or should we say “pins it down?” – perfectly.
Tell me if this rings a bell, you’re attending a screenwriting seminar, listening to a lecture, or getting notes from someone, and they lean in and tell you they have a piece of advice. After hearing it, you shake your head. You feel a little worse off than you started, and you’re not sure what to do next.
Terrible writing advice is all around us. Bad writing advice comes from many sources. We hear it in blogs, podcasts, and all over Social Media.
Time now for a solidly thoughtful and genuinely helpful article about something we all need help with from time to time – how to overcome all the usual articles and not only start writing something you love but keep going all the way to the finish.
Oh, and it’s also solidly and so darn civilly written that alone has made us smile since we first saw it. Our thanks to Betty Flowers, former Director of the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library, and to Michelle Gordon, who first brought this to our attention.
