Unveiling Jeffrey Lieber: The Untold Secrets Behind His Masterful Storytelling
It is a very straight, simple story which is, do I have to kill this man or can I trust him? The way in which it plays out and the pieces that are used to tell the story are so intricately plotted out that it’s a piece of brilliance.
Scott: What’s your single best excuse not to write?
Jeff: [laughs] My single best excuse not to… Christian Reed, who [indecipherable] said at one point, “Writing isn’t shoveling rocks or breaking rocks.” Which is to say that it’s something you have to find some level of inspiration to do. You can’t just go out there and do it. So there’s times…One of the hardest things that I had to learn as a writer was to be able to forgive myself for the fact that it just isn’t going to happen today, and to accept that as opposed to sitting in it all day long and forcing myself. I’m a write‑every‑day kind of guy, but there’s sometimes where I just look at myself and say, “You know what? It isn’t going to happen today. I’m going to forgive myself that and do something else.”
