i tweet KILLER WRITING ADVICE. screenwriter & darkwing duck influencer. she/they

[rikki ☢️ @RikkAtNite]

KILLER WRITING ADVICE: NEVER use WE SEE or WE HEAR. DIRECTORS and SOUND DESIGNERS decide what the audience SEES & HEARS. Do NOT explore a character's emotional state, that is for the ACTOR to guess. Who do you think you are, DESCRIBING LOCATIONS? A writer's ONLY job is the TITLE.

You don't need to be a better writer. You need to write worse, and more often.

KILLER WRITING ADVICE: your dialogue must be DEEP FRIED AND CRISPY. nobody likes SOGGY DIALOGUE

[MJM @SPMJM]

Writers will share their ‘great notes’ and the notes will be like “the characters feel real and the dialogue is crisp and sounds like how people talk” or “the story is gripping and kept me on the edge of my seat!”

Which are not notes. These are words in a sentence (just barely).

[rikki ☢️ @RikkAtNite]

why do you think people like this are so threatened by you calling yourself a writer 🙃

[bg @bg_ctrl]

I've always said you can only call yourself something when you get paid for it. Write a sceenplay? Fun! But until you sell it, you are not a screenplay writer. Same goes for filmmaker, director, etc. Anything unpaid is just an expensive hobby. I think that sort of realistic viewpoint would help a lot of misguided dreamers.

Rents likely to balloon in wake of L.A. wildfires, experts say https://t.co/gFrOjdUqTH

[rikki ☢️ @RikkAtNite]

rent controlled buildings are burning down, and new construction is typically exempt from rent control. i'm worried that so many people have lost their homes in an even more permanent way than we understand

if i type in CAPS that means I AM ALWAYS RIGHT

[josh barkey @joshbarkey]

I wonder what inspires a person with very little experience/knowledge to go on screenwriting Twitter and present themselves as a guru. I've been doing this longer than I care to admit, and I am TERRIFIED to give advice... 1/2 🧵

[rikki ☢️ @RikkAtNite]

KILLER WRITING ADVICE: Do NOT add JOKES to your scene description. Readers HATE extra words added for ENTERTAINMENT.

[rikki ☢️ @RikkAtNite]

Do you hear that sound? It’s every comedy writer in the world whispering a reverent “FUCK” under their breath

“I did not have sectional relations”

[rikki ☢️ @RikkAtNite]

per a friend who worked on the show...

in an obvious twist, the women who got promoted were, actually, VERY qualified, had also been writer's assistants for multiple seasons, AND with the show since season 1
