615 - The Mind’s Eye

<p>John and Craig talk about the importance of visualization for screenwriters, and the fact that some very successful writers can’t do it. They share what’s going on inside their brains as they write, their processes for imagining a scene, and what writing is like across the spectrum of aphantasia.</p> <p>But first, we look at Marvel’s new approach to TV and follow-up on diabetes, studio distribution, and a word John has been using incorrectly for years. We also answer listener questions about choosing the right medium for your story, credit in anthology films, and co-writing credit disputes.</p> <p>In our bonus segment for premium members, John and Craig discuss the pros and cons of being given the opportunity you’ve always dreamt of.</p> <p>Links:</p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/daredevil-marvel-disney-1235614518/"> ‘Daredevil’ Hits Reset Button as Marvel Overhauls Its TV Business</a> by Borys Kit for The Hollywood Reporter</li> <li><a href= "https://johnaugust.com/2022/scriptnotes-episode-530-the-one-with-jack-thorne-transcript"> Episode 530: The One with Jack Thorne</a></li> <li><a href= "https://x.com/johngreen/status/1708515024275189884?s=20">John Green Tweet</a></li> <li><a href= "https://austinkleon.com/2023/10/03/discovering-aphantasia/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email"> Discovering aphantasia</a> by Austin Kelon</li> <li><a href= "https://leelefever.com/aphantasia-blindness/">Aphantasia – A Different Kind of Blindness</a> by Lee LeFever</li> <li><a href= "https://www.bustle.com/wellness/does-everyone-have-an-internal-monologue"> Here’s What It’s Like To Not Have An Internal Monologue</a> by Caroline Steber for Bustle</li> <li><a href= "https://www.wga.org/the-guild/about-us/contact-us/departments/membership"> WGA Membership Department</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/p/Cwv-uusPR5D/">Boobie_Klapper</a> on Instagram</li> <li><a href= "https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/products/E434187-000/00?colorDisplayCode=62&sizeDisplayCode=027"> Uniqlo Colorful 50 So
