I might delve into this later this week, but every now and then I see a writer who writes a script that's nothing like the sort of movie they'd actually go see.<br /><br />Sometimes this takes the form of a writer who likes highbrow films "slumming it" by writing some gross out comedy.

I'm not sure if you're implying this is a good thing or a bad thing.<br /><br />I'm not necessarily doing this, but it's crossed my mind. Sometimes I wonder if writing a genre you love could have a negative affect (ie using cliches, being too close to the genre you miss the flaws).Carlos Matthews Hernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844149114686947104noreply@blogger.com
