Writing Partnerships Transcript May 15, 2011


#Scriptchat TOPIC: Writing Partners: How do you find them… and do you really want to?

Writing partnerships is one of those topics that stirs up a lot of trouble. If a partner isn’t chosen wisely, it can end up like one big, bad marriage. Many opinions were voiced and tips shared on how to find one who will work well with your style. As always, both sides of the pond brought out different viewpoints, so it’s well worth reading both chats. Enjoy! @jeannevb

May 15, 2011, 7:02 pm           



 
@Bang2write: @Mina_Zaher I only write with someone I trust 100% - if I can't say what I like, it's not worth treading on egg shells #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:02 pm

May 15, 2011, 7:03 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @Bang2write Is that how you choose who to write for? Are there other reasons why you'd write w/ someone? #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:03 pm           



 
@ellinst: Reading script competition entries. Just about to shoot myself when...whoa. Real talent! #scriptchat

@whitniverse: #scriptchat I develop story with a couple of my friends, but I always end up typing it up :)
May 15, 2011, 7:04 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: Working on a novel with a partner as a pet project for both of us. It's stalled at the moment because she's too busy to write. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:04 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @TaroJ @sweettweenie Hey guys, welcome! So how do you guys work together? What's your process? #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:04 pm           



 
@zongrik: i love the bouncing off factor. brainstorming alone is not as dynamic. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:04 pm           



 
@jimstansberry: WGA has a pretty basic contract on it's site #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:04 pm           



 
@TaroJ: #scriptchat I've found writing with someone to always be a good motivator providing you both really believe in the project
May 15, 2011, 7:05 pm           



 
@Bang2write: @Mina_Zaher nope, will only write w/ those I *know* I can trust. That's only requirement, really. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:05 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @kanundra Yes, definitely a writers' agreement is essential. Can u elaborate on your experiences? Wld u write w/ someone again? #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:06 pm           



 
@Bang2write: @Mina_Zaher that said, helps if I know their strengths compliment mine too in some way, no pt if our weaknesses the same #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:06 pm           



 
@zongrik: @TaroJ sometimes believing means you are both getting paid. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:06 pm

May 15, 2011, 7:06 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: @mina_zaher @TaroJ the first thing we do is sit together and chat about the story, characters... Make sure we're on the same pg #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:06 pm           



 
@jimstansberry: @zongrik the mutual brainstorming is an awesome factor for having a partnership! #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:06 pm           



 
@Mindy_Crump: hey every1 sorry 4 being a bit late Im new with writing with partners, been working on a script with my bf, its been interesting #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:07 pm           



 
@phil_dyas: @jimstansberry @zongrik Agreed - it's only when it comes to the actual writing that it gets difficult #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:07 pm           



 
@nisajaie: Think for writers technology imakes it easier...now hv to tackle the harder part of trusting & letting go of control. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:07 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: http://tiny.cc/2ibld RT @jimstansberry: WGA has a pretty basic contract on its site. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@nisajaie: We are so used to solo. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@MawScrawl: @Mina_Zaher Until now I've held off having a writing partner. Usually have 1-2 people per proj. that I go to when I need advice. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@Mindy_Crump: @nisajaie that's the hard part trust and letting go #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@kanundra: @mina_zaher We worked on my scifi TV series. A detailed bible, chat, passion in the story, we wrote together and on seperate eps #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @MawScrawl Would you consider writing w/ someone if the right project comes up? #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:09 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: off topic, but why is my avatar not my avatar :-o #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:09 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @Mindy_Crump @nisajaie It's also important to protect yourself and your work when writing with someone else. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:09 pm           



 
@Deacyliam: #scriptchat I've always thought it might be a good idea sharing ideas, methods, etc. Would be interested 2 try it 1 day.
May 15, 2011, 7:09 pm           



 
@nisajaie: Yes. RT @Mindy_Crump: @nisajaie that's the hard part trust and letting go #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:09 pm           



 
@jimstansberry: writing together can be very rewarding as long as you're both willing to be flexible #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:09 pm           



 
@MawScrawl: @Mina_Zaher But as I enjoy the back and forth development of ideas I keep thinking a partner may be a good idea. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:09 pm           



 
@TaroJ: #scriptchat I suppose we should also mention we are married @sweettweenie which is one he'll of a contract :-)
May 15, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @sweettweenie Your avatar is hungover and they sent that one in its place. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @sweettweenie @TaroJ Great, and once you've decided you're on the right page? #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@nisajaie: #scriptchat That is the part that scares me the most. RT @alli_and_that: @Mindy_Crump @nisajaie It's also impo… (cont) http://deck.ly/~7659L
May 15, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@Deacyliam: #scriptchat is any1 currently looking at working in a partnership?, trust is the issue 4 me.
May 15, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@MawScrawl: @Mina_Zaher Yeah and we were on the right wavelength. Jut as case of taking that step really. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@kanundra: Trust is a big thing, but watching your characters in an episode you didn't write is amazing. Well worth it. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:11 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: @mina_zaher once we've had the initial talk, we come up with an outline together and I generally write the first draft #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:11 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @kanundra So you divided the eps between you guys? How did work on a consistent tone between the eps? #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:11 pm           



 
@FingercuffJAMIE: I've done it again. Haven't eaten all day now I'm super hungry but it's time for #scriptchat. Curse you rumbling stomach.
May 15, 2011, 7:11 pm           



 
@thetissuetalk: @SharkGoddess You totally should! And I'm lurking on #scriptchat as we speak ;)
May 15, 2011, 7:11 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: RT @kanundra: Trust is a big thing, but watching your characters in an episode you didnt write is amazing. Well worth it. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:11 pm           



 
@thetissuetalk: *lurkity lurk* #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:12 pm           



 
@Bang2write: #scriptchat If trust is an issue, it's possible to build a relationship thru giving each other feedback first - http://www.tinyurl.com/fdbkxchng
May 15, 2011, 7:12 pm           



 
@TaroJ: #scriptchat then we talk about it again and I go for the second draft,occasionally we've done the one of us typing one of us pacing the room
May 15, 2011, 7:12 pm           



 
@Mindy_Crump: trust is a main issue but once you find that person 2 write w u trust, personally I have so much fun bouncing ideas off of them #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:12 pm           



 
@jimstansberry: @alli_and_that you have the have the trust to put yourself out there in front of them #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:12 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @FingercuffJAMIE *passes a chocolate chip cookie* #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:13 pm           



 
@kanundra: @mina_zaher I think we were both generally on the same page right from the start. But we talked a lot, wrote a whole lot more #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:13 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @thetissuetalk *throws lasoo* Have you had a writing partner? #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:13 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @Mindy_Crump The moments of 'OH! Wa-wa-wait! THIS could happen!' 'That's BRILLIANT! Then THIS can happen after!' rock. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@Bang2write: Being able to take constructive criticism AND give it is a key part of any writing partnership IMO #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @kanundra That sounds v. cool! #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @FingercuffJAMIE Send the squirrel over. I've got extras. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@TaroJ: #scriptchat I think it's important you have similar outlooks on film, afterall you wouldn't join a country band if you wanted to play metal
May 15, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@jimstansberry: @Bang2write I think your right, giving positive feedback on each others works is a cool trust builder #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@kanundra: @Bang2write Giving feedback was how we stared out, plus a general love of sci fi. It def helped build our friendship. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @alli_and_that Oh yes! You have a writing partner w/ one of your projects, don't you? #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @jimstansberry Absolutely. If there's no trust in the relationship, the story will suffer. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: RT @Bang2write: Being able to take constructive criticism AND give it is a key part of any writing partnership IMO #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@zoltanbarabas: RT @zacsanford: Hey guys @destinpfaff is looking for dark or horror scripts under $1M to produce. Please @ reply us both for info. #scriptchat #indiefilm
May 15, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@Bang2write: I think it's also important you're upfront with your intentions for the project and how you see the realtionship working #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:15 pm           



 
@nisajaie: Pass it on: I have $25 (US) to spend on amazon so if you have an ebook you better DM me. #epublish #notpayday #ebooks #kindle #scriptchat

@mina_zaher: RT @Bang2write: Being able to take constructive criticism AND give it is a key part of any writing partnership IMO #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:15 pm           



 
@kanundra: @mina_zaher thanks it was very cool. We both learned so much in writing together. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:15 pm           



 
@zongrik: you actually need to enjoy being with your writing partner. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:15 pm           



 
@Mindy_Crump: @alli_and_that it definitely does! my friend & I talked for approx 6 hours straight about these ideas we had ...it was awesome! #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:15 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @mina_zaher Yup, on the novel. The hardest part is keeping her as disciplined as me to get things written. I write a lot more. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: Where do people find their partners? Methinks Twitter is really helpful with this. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@Bang2write: If you do teacher training, they talk about "transactional analysis" - basically, you get what you give. Works w/ writing too #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@n0nsensefactory: RT @Bang2write: Being able to take constructive criticism AND give it is a key part of any writing partnership IMO #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@jimstansberry: @Mindy_Crump @alli_and_that writing w/ a partner WILL make you a better writer in general #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: RT @nisajaie: Pass it on: I have $25 (US) to spend on amazon so if you have an ebook you better DM me. #epublish #ebooks #kindle #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @Mindy_Crump The hardest part is keeping that momentum flowing onto the actual writing side. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: @alli_and_that @mina_zaher yes. I agree. I need to set deadlines for @taroJ #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@thetissuetalk: My writing partner @gryphonmetal and I had many long discussions online/offline about our TV spec before we began writing. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@jimstansberry: @mina_zaher I found one partner @ film festival, one @ writer's group #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @alli_and_that How do you work on the discipline? Deadlines? #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@Bang2write: @Mina_Zaher I only write with people I've met in real life and are actual friends with first #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@Mindy_Crump: @alli_and_that definitely...especially with chatters like myself lol #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @jimstansberry It gives you a benchmark to strive to because one will be better than the other and it will never be you. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@nisajaie: Yea that is smart. RT @Bang2write: @Mina_Zaher I only write with people I've met in real life and are actual friends with first #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@Mindy_Crump: @jimstansberry and that is why I am trying to find more writing partners to work with...I always want to learn and get better #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@jimstansberry: @alli_and_that good one! #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @jimstansberry What inspired you to write for them? Were you looking for writing partners? #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@TaroJ: #scriptchat now I feel guilty ;-)
May 15, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@thetissuetalk: It was important that we were on the same page about what kind of story we wanted to tell before jumping in. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @mina_zaher Haven't figured that part out. At the mo I'm developing parts only I can write. Hoping she'll read it & be inspired. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@phil_dyas: @nisajaie @Bang2write @Mina_Zaher Yeah, but it's difficult to find people if you don't know many other writers in your area #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@soph41190: All my partnerships are something that have simply formed organically. I've never set out to 'create a writing partnership. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@jimstansberry: number one- it's more fun writing with someone #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@Bang2write: @nisajaie @Mina_Zaher there's more to lose that way - no1's going to throw their toys out the pram on a whim #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@Deacyliam: what are the pro's and con's #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@luftschlosschen: finding someone, who's on the same page as oneself is the hardest thing apart from trust. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@kanundra: @thetissuetalk very important to be on the same page :) #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:20 pm           



 
@jimstansberry: @Deacyliam biggest drawback I've found is scheduling #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:20 pm           



 
@soph41190: I just think of 'writing partner as being a term for someone whose opinion/assistance who you find absolutely invaluable. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:20 pm           



 
@Bang2write: @phil_dyas there's always ways of meeting people. 2 of my co-writers have been London-based; another Edinburgh. I live in Dorset #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:20 pm           



 
@alli_and_that: @mina_zaher That being said, we're still planning. But as writing's not a priority for her, we'll have to think of alternatives. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:20 pm           



 
@MarkWorthen: #scriptchat My partner and I have complementary skills: I'm good at story & dialogue. She's good at description/direction & finding holes.
May 15, 2011, 7:21 pm           



 
@MawScrawl: Is it a good idea to have an element of friendship in a partnership? Keep it strictly professional? How do you then build trust? #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:21 pm           



 
@mina_zaher: @Bang2write @nisajaie Isn't it easier to throw your toys out - i.e. not being emotionally involved = professionalism? #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:21 pm           



 
@soph41190: @kanundra @thetissuetalk The term 'writing with the same pen' always comes to mind. Shared aims and tones are important I think. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:21 pm           



 
@soph41190: @jimstansberry Shared success is the best kind. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:21 pm           



 
@MarkWorthen: @soph41190 You have to have similar priorities, too. If one or the other has to put other things first, there'll be trouble. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:22 pm           



 
@kanundra: @soph41190 @thetissuetalk Yeah I agree with you there, nice saying! #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:22 pm           



 
@Bang2write: @Mina_Zaher maybe for some, but for me friendship is first, writing is 2nd. So I won't blow my top unless they're taking mick! #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:22 pm           



 
@jimstansberry: @MawScrawl I think the "friend" element is important to carry you over the rough spots #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:22 pm           



 
@kanundra: @MawScrawl Over time, my co-writer and I've become good friends. A real bonus. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:22 pm           



 
@TaroJ: #scriptchat I tried writing with someone in the states using google docs but it didn't work some things just didn't translate espec sarcasm
May 15, 2011, 7:23 pm           



 
@phil_dyas: @Bang2write That's true - I do find it difficult to work together by email though - I need the face-to-face energy #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:23 pm           



 
@soph41190: It's been a while since I've written solely with one partner, but I find working in a group of close colleagues/friends great. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:23 pm           



 
@MarkWorthen: #scriptchat Trust is what I call "permission to play." You can't even be involved if you're not trustworthy. Everything builds from there.
May 15, 2011, 7:23 pm           



 
@jimstansberry: @soph41190 always helps to have someone in your corner with you--for the good and the not so good #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:23 pm           



 
@sweettweenie: once we have a finished draft that we are both reasonably happy with, we sit together and pick at almost every word #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:23 pm           



 
@Deshair: My cousin @IamDeannaWrite and myself had a writing session on my roof this past week. It was refreshing to share ideas. #scriptchat
May 15, 2011, 7:23 pm

@GCGeek: Good evening, all! Looking forward to a great chat on writing partners - hoping to hear the good with the frightening. #scriptchat

@jeannevb: Let's start with finding one. 1st place to look.... right here! #scriptchat

@zacsanford2: I'm currently juggling three different writing partners on three different projects. All are different in our workflow. #scriptchat

@zacsanford2: .@GinyMacGregor Why think of just in Asheville? With Skype and other instant messengers, writing partners can be global! #scriptchat

@zacsanford2: @IngridElkner You just need to find the director that has a good mix of right/left brain. The creative and the business mix. #scriptchat
