Notes

• ART is making order out of chaos. Taking two ideas, and putting them together in a different way.

• Get things out of your way that is distracting… Bic pen + yellow legal pad pages x 10 days. All the episodes of Seinfield were written on legal paper.

• almost all pro writers write in the morning. That’s when you have the energy.

• Transcedental meditation gives your brain a charge to write. You can’t write at 6pm after dinner. You’ve got to TM first. Then you can.

• No one cares if you work. How are you going to get any work done if you have no supervision. You’ve gotta be the boss and the employee.

• look at it like a drone… keep looking at the topic, until you find a funny perspective

• first thing is: how are you going to bring it up? Don’t waste the space… don’t just bring it up. Bring it up in a funny way.

• the worse. the better. If life sucks? It can be used.
