The truth is, learning to write for television is lot like learning to speak when you’re a baby. You don’t need rules, you need examples. Read enough scripts and study how they lay out their stories. Then formulate your own set of constraints based on what you’re seeing. Try to lay out your own stories so they strain as few of the constraints as possible. Bam! You’ve got a killer spec script! ~~ Jane Espenson

When I start a book, I know who my main characters are, who/what the antagonist is, and the consequences if that antagonist isn’t defeated. That’s about it. Oh, I might have a couple specific scene ideas in mind, too, but my pre-writing outline usually consists of some random sentences that no one but me would be able to make any sense out of.

You Asked ... Katherine Fugate, "Army Wives," "Valentine's Day":
I know many writers use a beat sheet, while others use an outline. What method do you use when starting a new project and can you describe your process? - Sandi
I usually have to write out a beat sheet or short story version of the movie so I know the basic arcs of what I am trying to accomplish. When there are a lot of storylines, I write each one down separately on different colored index cards, then take the stacks and shuffle them together by color so they fall in the right order. Sometimes I even write 6 or 8 different "movies" on Final Draft and then cut and paste all of those in a single document when I am done. And sometimes I just go Wild West and start writing and let the voices speak, but that's usually not recommended on a deadline. Each project differs and each person finds their personal style.
