"People follow emotionally honest characters." Writing with Shonda Rhimes

"Here's what's awesome about being a writer: people will follow you if it feels like what's happening to the characters feels emotionally honest. I mean you really can make almost anything happen." ⏩ From Masterclass: Shonda Rhimes Teaches Writing for Television https://masterclass.pxf.io/gO4BoB She continues: "If you don't want it to sound like tv, really listen to the conversations of people around you; become an eavesdropper." "It should be okay to not feel like you're getting it right all the time, because nobody ever is. I think a lot of people are stopped by the idea of perfection, like, I must know this or I must know that. "Nothing has to be perfect. Just write." ~~~~ #howtowritefortelevision #writingfortelevision #TVwriting #writingtips #Filmmaking #Screenwriting #ShondaRhimes #thecreativemindvideos #screenwritingprocess ~~~~ The Creative Mind Videos: How to thrive more as an artist and creative person, with information and inspiration on personal growth, emotional health, high sensitivity, giftedness, creativity research, personality psychology and more.
