The Writer's Room · Lesson 9 of 17 · 0:11

Writing from a brief

After this you can take a brief to a full draft and keep the story bible consistent.

  1. 1

    A brief goes in and a chain of agents writes from it, outline then draft, all sharing one story bible, which is what keeps names, places and continuity from drifting between chapters.

  2. 2

    The draft is yours to edit. The room is a co-writer, not a vending machine: you can rewrite any part and the bible updates with it.

  3. 3

    A finished script is not a dead end. It carries into a project, so what you wrote here can be boarded and produced without being re-entered.

Your turn

  1. 1.Open the Writer's Room and start a draft from a one-paragraph brief.
  2. 2.Read the outline before letting it write the full draft.
  3. 3.Open the story bible and check it matches what you intended.
