Dustin Lance Black's Writing Process

Posted by Tom Brogan on Tuesday, January 6, 2015 Under: Writing Process

I'm always interested in a writer's process. In fact, I should start a collection of posts with that as a theme. As such the Creative Spark section of the Academy's YouTube page is a goldmine. They have videos of several screenwriters discussing and showing their various ways of approaching writing.

It's interesting to see how their working methods vary greatly. My favourite of all the videos is this one from Oscar winning write of 'Milk' Dustin Lance Black. His approach to outlining is incredibly detailed. Contrast that with 'Enlightened' creator Mike White.
