Hi, I’m a writer. My hobbies include not writing.
writers be like
reader: omg I’m so curious what happens next chapter!!
writer: me too haha!!
Adverbs aren’t evil; said isn’t dead
Please stop hitting the wall with your headActive is grand but not always the best
Sometimes it’s passive that passes the testSome write with style, others write plain
Let’s all agree that writing’s a painThe ‘rules’ can be broken, twisted, or bent
All that matters is that you are contentMake your own story and write your own way
This has been a writer’s PSAThe only writing rules I will accept.
Mr. Gatiss, do you have any advice for aspiring writers? How does one overcome a particularly bad bout of writers block?
I take long hot baths or go running. It’s also good to have another project on the go so you can turn to that when you’re blocked, and hopefully it’ll unblock your head! That or tea!
Your best writing tip?
Keep going, work through the pain, it may seem like a joyless miserable exercise, but that’s because it is! Until you get the breakthrough moment and everything’s alright again.
In three words, how would you describe the feeling you experience when you sit down to a blank Doctor Who script? What advice would you give for those who wish to be in the same position one day?
Joy, terror, anticipation. Advice: write write write!
