Bob Saenz is an actor and writer, known for Extracurricular Activities (2019), The Right Girl (2015) and Help For The Holidays(2012). He’s also known for being a legend in online screenwriting groups. After offering his own brand of ‘smack talk’ for new and seasoned writers online, he wrote a fantastic book: That’s Not The Way It Works: A No Nonsen...
‘Just because they have told you they are rejecting your script for whatever reason, don’t take it personally. It could have been written badly or it could have been written well but they just can’t use it (eg. it’s too expensive) … It doesn’t matter.’Bob says. I can so relate to what Bob is saying here. Rejection affects every single one of us as ...
‘The biggest mistake writers make is sending out scripts too early in the process.’Bob says. Again, I totally agree. I see great ideas executed poorly all the time … and it’s such a shame, because those scripts might have been great too in the long run IF the writers had taken more time on them. ‘You have to learn the craft, to tell a STORY. Make t...
This is something I am always banging on about too … In fact, B2W has a free online course called ‘The Foundations of Writing Craft’where there’s a whole module just for concept!
‘A lot of writers don’t understand how set ups and pay offs work. Story has a spine. Whatever you have – an A story, B story, C story – has to go back to that spine.’ I love this. B2W calls it the ‘throughline’ but Bob’s descriptor is even better. After all, we all have spines and know everything in our bodies is connected to it. ‘Look at the ‘smal...
B2W always says ‘no writing is ever wasted’ and Bob echoes this advice too … but DON’T just send them out willy-nilly! Check them and update them. ‘Update your scripts every year. Look at the tech, the social references, whatever dates it. Avoid having copyright notices – those have dates on too. Make it relevant for ‘now’ whenever that is. I’ve cu...
‘Probably 98% of scripts are bad. Of the 2% that are good, only 0.5% are useable.’ Harsh words from Bob, but from my work as a script reader I’d wager they’re probably true. A lot of writers believe absolutely there are scores and scores of great scripts in the spec pile … but a few hundred hours reading spec scripts usually makes them realise this...
‘All the successful writers I know are smart. They’re smart because they’re savvy and realistic. They know their opinions are not facts. They weigh everything up.’ Bob is BANG ON again. The reason B2W spends a lot of time putting emotive issues like so-called ‘cancel culture’under the microscope is because savvy writers are successful writers. Writ...
‘It takes a long time. Most screenwriters who succeed, it takes at least a decade to get there,’ says Bob. Again, I can totally relate. I was lucky in that I got paid for writing very early in my career … but it was still a good 10 years (at least) before I was writing what I really wanted to write (novels). ‘Me? It took twelve years from my first ...
