Writing a script guide for dummies

Step 1.- Grab a pen and paper. It can be any color pen, or a pencil. If you are feeling a little kinky, you can even use crayons!

Step 2.- Think about your stimulus, and write/draw/scribble on the paper relevant things that pop up in your mind. Anything relevant, as stupid as may seem at the beginning, may turn out to be a great idea!

step 3.- look at what you have done. Don't panic, it's not as bad as it looks. now focus.

step 4.- find a relationship between everything you have on your paper. Change ideas, upgrade them. Twist the tales to change the facts. Get it right, straight forward, concrete.

step 5.- If you don't like it. Too bad, push forward. If I learned something is to push forward with crappy ideas to make them good. "crappy" ideas are just raw ideas, you won't get it all perfect right away, so don't wait for another raw idea, just push forward with what you have.

step 6.- write. re-read. delete. re-write. re-read. delete again. re-write. drink coffee. re-read. Get stressed out because you don't like it. Don't worry... you are getting there. drink more coffee. write. keep writing. keep writing. keep writing. read. Realized you did it wrong. too lazy to write it again. tl;dr. throw it on the rubbish bin. sleep. go back to step 1.
