@teenierussell: @robinbellwriter Hi Robin, we're talking about writing routines, hoping we can all learn a trick or two from each other :-) #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:01 pm

June 10, 2012, 7:03 pm      



 
@ijoda07: Hiya, nice to be back at #scriptchat in the SAME TIME ZONE. First one in ages, nice to be here. :)
June 10, 2012, 7:03 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: #scriptchat I can't work to a routine. When it's going well I just sit and write at other times I have to use tricks to keep me by laptop
June 10, 2012, 7:03 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell I wasn't really getting involved as my opinions were way too lengthy for 140 chars a time, but was interesting. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:03 pm      



 
@teenierussell: Whether you write for a living or not, how do you get into a good writing habit? I'm sure we all have our own methods. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:04 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @EvaKnoet Hi Eva, welcome #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:04 pm      



 
@TaroJ: A good time to talk writing routines as everything great on TV is coming to an end and replaced by sport great excuse to write #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:04 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @TaroJ Same. I have to fit writing around my normal editing work & life anyway, but it's a long process to get to the right time #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:04 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @ijoda07 Hi Jo, welcome back to #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:05 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: Pick a terrible song, stick it on repeat and don't turn it off until a scene is done. There's also loads of whiteboard stuff. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:05 pm      



 
@teenierussell: Have you found what time works best or is it usually whatever time you have free? #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:06 pm      



 
@TaroJ: Any writers with kids and jobs HOW THE HELL DO YOU DO IT! #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:06 pm      



 
@moneymakermj: read. learn. write. - #scriptchat http://t.co/8q0GyONa
June 10, 2012, 7:06 pm      



 
@teenierussell: I used to think I worked best at night but after 2x scriptfrenzies I've come to realise that mornings are definitely better #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:06 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @Sandy_Nicholson Never! I must have good, appropriate music when I write! I can't write in silence. Be screwed without music. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:06 pm      



 
@ijoda07: Was always 2 tired at end of day. So used 2 wake up early, ride 2 work, write for 1.5hrs, shower, be sitting at desk at 9am. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:07 pm      



 
@EvaKnoet: #scriptchat I guess it's about trying to make time to write everyday... a little when creativity is low and loads when it's going well
June 10, 2012, 7:07 pm      



 
@Leytonrocks: @TaroJ that'll be the opposite problem for me #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:07 pm      



 
@teenierussell: RT @Sandy_Nicholson: Pick a terrible song, stick it on repeat and don't turn it off until a scene is done. There's also loads of whiteboard stuff. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:07 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: #scriptchat one thing which is part of a routine is having a script soundtrack or a designated album for each script to be written to
June 10, 2012, 7:07 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell I can't write a damn thing in the mornings. If I try, it's invariably awful. Nothing good until pm/evening. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:08 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @SiFoulaReel If the music is too good I listen to it! No, I need rubbish! #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:08 pm      



 
@EvaKnoet: #scriptchat I do that too @robinbellwriter the music has to fit the scene and film you're working on otherwise it doesn't really work
June 10, 2012, 7:08 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: #scriptchat current script involves me listening to new sun kil moon album among the leaves. Keeps me writing for 73 minute bursts
June 10, 2012, 7:08 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @EvaKnoet Yeah. Ditto. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:08 pm      



 
@teenierussell: It seems like a lot of people write to music, do you all have playlists? @robinbellwriter #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:08 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel that's great that you know that, so no point in trying to write at wrong time, unless you have to. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:09 pm      



 
@GeoffBreedwell: RT @moneymakermj: read. learn. write. - #scriptchat http://t.co/8q0GyONa
June 10, 2012, 7:09 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @Sandy_Nicholson I pick music that I'm familiar with, but suits mood. Short I'm working on now is mostly the score of Klute. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:09 pm      



 
@TaroJ: @Leytonrocks that used to be the case but now I'm bitter and twisted about the summer of sport (unless it's F1 which Im watching #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:09 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: @EvaKnoet sometimes I create a compilation other times an album seems to fit already #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:09 pm      



 
@teenierussell: RT @EvaKnoet: #scriptchat I do that too @robinbellwriter the music has to fit the scene and film you're working on otherwise it doesn't really work
June 10, 2012, 7:10 pm      



 
@Leytonrocks: #scriptchat I'm trying to avoid pre writing routines before I start writing ... These self imposed rules create reasons not to write
June 10, 2012, 7:10 pm      



 
@EvaKnoet: #scriptchat it depends how focussed I am, less focus more music and yes to playlists @teenierussell
June 10, 2012, 7:10 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell Always. Before iTunes/Pod it was burning CDs, before that - MINIDISC! #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:10 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @SiFoulaReel Feature I'm writing is to the score of Emilia - Big Big World #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:10 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: #scriptchat background tv sometimes works for me. Snooker and man v food work best
June 10, 2012, 7:11 pm      



 
@Leytonrocks: @teenierussell @robinbellwriter earth, earth less and sunn 0)) are great writing mood bands #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:11 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @Sandy_Nicholson That one can get a bit repetitive :) #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:12 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @robinbellwriter Lol. Do you find the dialogue ur listening to changes the tone of what you're trying to write though? #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:12 pm      



 
@rosieclaverton: RT @robinbellwriter: #scriptchat one thing which is part of a routine is having a script soundtrack or a designated album for each script to be written to
June 10, 2012, 7:12 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell Oh, yeah, one day if the producers needs new lines in the morning, I'm on it ;) But for now it's a dead zone. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:12 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @SiFoulaReel Repeatitive works for me. Though not much. If music is too "busy" gets distracting. Also can't listen to radio. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:12 pm      



 
@CollaredGreens: @teenierussell Yes. Now I customize to fit for the character moods, at specific points in the story. Sometimes it's ironic. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:13 pm      



 
@TaroJ: Does anyone have a set writing window that wether you feel like it or not you spend writing? #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:13 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @Leytonrocks I can't stick to routine unless I have a clear goal, usually a deadline for someone/ something #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:13 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @SiFoulaReel Not the way I sing it. :) #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:13 pm      



 
@rosieclaverton: @teenierussell I have playlists for different projects. Also for moods - I have Fight Scene and All Is Lost, for example #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:13 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @robinbellwriter The 2004 feature I did no-one can see due to music rights was written to WWF/E live show tapes! No clue why! #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:13 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: @ijoda07 maybe, all my scripts end up melancholic in some way #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:14 pm      



 
@isedTina: sports without the volume works #scriptchat esp. old tennis games #routines
June 10, 2012, 7:14 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @Sandy_Nicholson haven't heard that in a loooong time. How long till you have a song due to repetition? #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:14 pm      



 
@rosieclaverton: My absolute best writing time is on the train - fewer distractions! But I should sit at my desk more, because I'm better there. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:14 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @rosieclaverton The 6 girl western I'm writing has a general mood list, and also an action scenes playlist as well. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:14 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @rosieclaverton Love writing in public spaces. U feel like you can lose urself, but ur not alone. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:14 pm      



 
@TaroJ: @ijoda07 @robinbellwriter there was that G-Funk faze I had that didn't really work in dialogue :-) #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:14 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: @ijoda07 @sifoulareel write to kraut rock always repetitive and brilliant #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:15 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @robinbellwriter Snooker - good to write to / Man vs Food - I'd end up watching it instead! #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:15 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @rosieclaverton YES. I need to make more long train journeys. This year they've cracked two outlines and a couple of shorts. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:15 pm      



 
@KBDMusical: RT @LovesMeNotFilms: RT @Sandy_Nicholson A call for writers! Come take part in a site specific theatre show in London. http://t.co/hgfkIdzP #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:16 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @Sandy_Nicholson How many times have you written the word Big in your script? ;-) #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:16 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: I used to write on the train but it took so long to get anything on the page I ended up getting the pace all wrong. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:16 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: @SiFoulaReel I have the 1991 royal rumble on video that's good to write too #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:16 pm      



 
@TaroJ: I can't write to music with lyrics, lots of soundtracks on my iPhone I need noise but non distracting noise #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:16 pm      



 
@rosieclaverton: I write fantastically when I have a deadline. But I am terrible at motivating myself otherwise. What are your tips? #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:16 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @teenierussell None. The word HEARTBREAK however... #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:17 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @ijoda07 I agree, radio is too distracting #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:17 pm      



 
@IrwellJohnson: #scriptchat #habit This outside my bedroom door instills guilt/discipline. Black mark = more than 30 mins worked. http://t.co/4gHEI9II
June 10, 2012, 7:17 pm      



 
@rosieclaverton: Leechblock is my ally - you can specify groups of websites to block for a set period or certain hours of the day. Invaluable. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:17 pm      



 
@robinbellwriter: @teenierussell think mvf works cos I've seen them so many times so I can just look up at the food porn then get on with writing #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:18 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: @robinbellwriter Mine was 2002 Survivor Series / 2003 Royal Rumble. Which I maintain Maven still hasn't been disqualified from. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:18 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @CollaredGreens haha, so is selecting the music part of procrastinating or does it really help? #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:18 pm      



 
@farahabushwesha: @ijoda07 @rosieclaverton I'm a massive fan of writing outside #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:18 pm      



 
@rosieclaverton: @sifoulareel Though it's better if I also have no phone signal. Otherwise, I get distracted. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:18 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @rosieclaverton Tell me about it. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:18 pm

@TaroJ: I find too many distractions at home (I'm looking at YOU Sky+ and your complete The Wire season 2) early or late at work is good #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:19 pm      



 
@rosieclaverton: RT @IrwellJohnson: #scriptchat #habit This outside my bedroom door instills guilt/discipline. Black mark = more than 30 mins worked. http://t.co/4gHEI9II
June 10, 2012, 7:19 pm      



 
@Will_Scothern: Bonjour all. Normally I work out a reward for finishing a set task. Of course writing does tend to lose out to other interests. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:19 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @rosieclaverton my notebook is always on me during trains journeys, sadly they are quite rare these days #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:19 pm      



 
@rosieclaverton: @irwelljohnson Oh, that's a good idea! I love to-do lists and calendars to cross off! I used to do exam revision that way. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:19 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @Will_Scothern BonSOIR... nobhead. #scriptchat

@SiFoulaReel: @rosieclaverton Journeys through darkest Devon do take care of the signal problem quite well. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:20 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @rosieclaverton 1 thing someone told me was to write everyday - even if 5 mins. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:20 pm      



 
@EvaKnoet: #scriptchat @IrwellJohnson looks a bit like the 365 don't break the chain calender the writer store has... 365 boxes to tick in a year
June 10, 2012, 7:20 pm      



 
@IrwellJohnson: #scriptchat I only aim for 30 mins because more usually gets done, which is a bonus. And if only do 30, at least I've done 30.
June 10, 2012, 7:20 pm      



 
@vickyhinault: @teenierussell I have playlists and use pinterest to make visual boards for my characters/concepts #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:21 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @rosieclaverton Always finish on a high - so u know when u come back u can pick up where u left off. (+ive reinforcement) #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:21 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @ijoda07 I don't write every day, but every day I'm not writing I am planning. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:21 pm      



 
@SiFoulaReel: I once scrawled scenes in a notebook, half-drunk, wrapped around a support pole on a London night bus. And they worked! #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:21 pm      



 
@rosieclaverton: @teenierussell I have a netbook and a long distance relationship :) - though that will end in August. My writing will suffer! #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:21 pm      



 
@TaroJ: Celtx and it's new cloud web interface thingy is very useful for writing at work in lunch breaks etc #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:21 pm      



 
@rosieclaverton: @sifoulareel Mid-Wales is good too! #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:22 pm      



 
@teenierussell: @rosieclaverton deadlines have always been my best motivators. Having a writing/ reading group also helps keep to deadline #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:22 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @Sandy_Nicholson Yeah, I found if I wrote everyday, then it was in my head more, so even when wasn't, was thinking abt script. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:22 pm      



 
@TaroJ: @EvaKnoet @irwelljohnson yes I thought that was a great idea, was it Jerry Seinfeld that came up with that #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:23 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @teenierussell Do you give yourself deadlines? #scriptchat

June 10, 2012, 7:24 pm

June 10, 2012, 7:25 pm      



 
@Leytonrocks: @SiFoulaReel I find public transport brilliant times of inspiration #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:25 pm      



 
@Will_Scothern: @Sandy_Nicholson Wow. Back 5 minutes and abuse. I'll just go erase Comfort Food... #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:25 pm      



 
@MattHowling: @teenierussell I can only write to instrumental music. If it has lyrics I end up singing along - and no-one wants to hear that. #scriptchat

@teenierussell: Jerry Seinfield's calendar is available here - http://t.co/XdWXyfWl if anyone is interested @rosieclaverton #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:26 pm      



 
@rosieclaverton: I think I can also be hard on myself. Sometimes, writing isn't script pages. It's character notes and background and research. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:26 pm      



 
@antonsays: used to need all sorts of conditions before I wrote but ditched them when @alli_and_that wrote a feature during tube commutes #scriptchat

@Leytonrocks: @SiFoulaReel I love / hate that ... Notes on my iPhone is a mine of random shit these days #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:27 pm      



 
@IrwellJohnson: @EvaKnoet #scriptchat Yes, idea entirely nicked using free calendars from web. I like month-by-month view, and not so anal as to do365 days.
June 10, 2012, 7:27 pm      



 
@rosieclaverton: @leytonrocks @SiFoulaReel I also love listening to people on trains and buses. Fantastic character and dialogue research! #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:27 pm      



 
@ijoda07: @Leytonrocks @sandy_nicholson Yeah, I lost mine earlier this year. Only just starting to get it back. How do u keep urs? #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:27 pm      



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @Leytonrocks True, but I also find sometimes giving an idea space is really helpful. You never know what you'll stumble upon. #scriptchat
June 10, 2012, 7:28 pm      



 
@Leytonrocks: @MattHowling @teenierussell that's why I suggested earth and sunn 0)) ... Also fucking champs (math rock) #scriptchat

@teenierussell: The feed is so busy tonight I'm trying to play catch up - loving it! #scriptchat

@TaroJ: @antonsays @alli_and_that I need a job where I have to take public transport, preferably one that pays REALLY well and is fun #scriptchat

@robinbellwriter: #scriptchat let's see if auto correct won't fuck this up. How many scripts do you aim to write each year?
June 10, 2012, 7:29 pm      



 
@alli_and_that: @antonsays It was a pretty long tube commute! #scriptchat
