Unveiling Jeffrey Lieber: The Untold Secrets Behind His Masterful Storytelling
What separates, in my opinion, good writers from great writers is you do need to dynamically look at your own material and figure out what’s wrong with it. I think a lot of people finish a draft of a script and they go, “It’s done.” They read it and they think, “It’s great!” I think that really good writers look at it and go, “That doesn’t work,” and then is willing to go back and fix it and refine it.
The ability just to see what the problem is is the first great hurdle, and then to have the elasticity to come up with another way around it, and to be willing to tear it up and put it back together again is where the great talent lies. It’s why, frankly, studios and networks want to hire people who’ve done it before because writing one script is…Everyone’s got one script in them, right?
