It's just you and you're screwed: Dreamer writer's routines
WGA West's Caroline Bales talks routines with Dreamer writer-director John Gatins: "I like to write at home. I wish I had more of a schedule. When I was younger, I wrote late at night. I would take a couple of cokes in my guest room and I'd write from 2-5. But I have kids now. I can't write any longer than three hours in a sitting.
"I've been to Sundance a few times for their labs, and it's really great when we ask this same question to a room full of writers. I'm always blown away that we all suffer from the same thing, which is that there's the individual and then there's the person that does the work and it's like, you pray every day that that person shows up when you turn on that computer, because if not, it's just you and you're screwed."
