A Successful Writer's Advice.


This YouTube video is a really interesting look at a writer's world. The interviewee is Bill Lawrence, and is being interviewed by his wife Christa Miller. He has had many successes so far; he co-created Spin City, as well as creating Scrubs and co-creating Cougar Town. He's also had his knock backs too; he was fired from his first three jobs, those being Friends, Boys Meets World and The Nanny. The video is recorded from a year at the Writer's Guild Foundation and gives us a true insight in Bill's thoughts of television writing and film writing



Bill's advice for young writers is "to actually write" and realize that "you have embrace the philosophy of doing what you have to do to get to do what you want to do." And that, even if you do sell a pilot or a film script to a company, it doesn't mean you'll become an overnight success.
