What do you do when you have too many ideas?

[Jacky392000]

man, so this must be a common problem among writers huh? because I also go through those phases too. :sweat: I seriously wonder how do script writers like Kobayashi actually manage to write almost an entire series on her own without getting burnt out. oh and there's the time where you know what to write, but you don't feel like writing at all.

Well, a lot goes into a television series- but I've never heard of one person really trying to take one on single-handedly & have it go well.

Usually, TV shows are written similarly to how the Dark Knight was done- two or more people bouncing ideas off each other until they build a story. If you really want to hear about that, get a season dvd/ bluray of Psych & watch the commentaries- they have a lot of conversations about how they came up with episode ideas & how they managed to do some of them.

In TV, though, they actually tend to have the entire group plan out each episode scene for scene before a first draft is even written.

This is pretty much my problem, I have a ton of ideas for episodes buzzing around in my head and I'm too busy playing DC Universe Online to write them :I
