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