I can't draw or write anymore?
We've all been through dry patches. They pretty much suck. It sounds like you're stressing over it pretty hard, and that will just make the block stronger. To get over my worst block (I'm a painter, not a writer), I got all of my painting tools out, cranked up some music, and got more than a few bottles of wine. I told myself that what I would produce would probably be crap and that was ok, I just needed to DO something. Over the course of 4 days, I drank all the wine & produced some of the best artwork I've ever done, although it was nothing like what I usually do. And it broke the dry spell. Relaxing and letting it flow is key. Best of luck!
How far ahead do writers think when writing plots for TV shows?
It depends on the writers and the show. Usually the writers have a general idea of where things are going, but not the specifics. When a show starts, you don't know how many seasons you'll get, or even which characters will be around at the end, so you have to be flexible. In the Lost example, I think they knew that Jack was going to die, but not much more than that.
I'm writing a novel and I want to draw my characters. I don't know how to. What do I do?
As someone that’s been drawing since i was like 5 i hear this a lot. Gonna tell you what i tell everyone else, just draw. Yes, yes they will not look the way you want them to, that’s fine. It really only takes about a year to get even decent. If you really work at it you can actually get really good in a year.But for now don’t worry about that, just put your pencil on the page and draw. Far as the art distracting from your words. Light Novels are literally novels with pictures, so don’t let that stop you. That said I’ll leave you some youtube links to drawing channels. Each one of them has been at it for ages and should really help.Draw with Jazza - Does cartoon styles and superheroes mostly.Mark Crilley - His focus is manga but has a wide variety of videos to learn from.Sycra - Very anime influenced style but will teach you digital painting and drawing.Proko - If you want to learn traditional methods or realism this is your guy.Jason Brubaker - Comic focused style but he takes the time to really explain what he’s doing and why.Really hope that helps good luck & take care.EDIT: some clarity
How do I write a reality tv show proposal?
The answer is that you don’t. Networks don’t buy reality shows based on paper proposals, with only a few exceptions for top talent with established track records. They expect you to bring in a completed episode, or at least a pilot presentation — a trimmed down 8 to 12 minute version. Even working companies with many shows under their belts are expected to bootstrap and self-finance a pilot.You may want to create a nice leave-behind and that document should include:The logline/elevator pitch.A paragraph or two that more fully explains the concept of the show, including how many episodes you intend to produce and what audience you are targeting.If it’s personality driven you’ll need a paragraph about the “world” your characters inhabit and a paragraph about each of your main characters.A paragraph about each of your key talent (host, producers).Maybe some nice images of locations, sets, logos, etc.Don’t leave a 50 page document behind, it will never be touched. Keep it short and to the point.
I want to become a comic book writer?
Dude It's like we're twins. I posted an answer about 42 seconds after you posted it last night but for some reason it didn't post. Anyways I am also 13 and am trying to create my own comic/manga myself. I coroner am studying to improve my illistrations as I am quite the drawer myself. As for your questions. Yes you can write a story and get a partnership with an illustration expert as most good things were invented in pairs. A lot of comics are formed my 2 or more people. The story line, and the illustrators. As for watching bakuman no a comic is not like that. First off bakugan is an anime which would be called a manga in comic form. If writing a comic was like writing a tv show it would take forever to put frame by frame in a book. but you could separate the frames into different scenes. so in some ways it is like bakuman, just on paper. When it comes to books you can draw any form of art you want. The key is getting it to become appealing to the viewers. As for programs I suppose you could use manga studio products or photoshop to tune up. Any picture editing program will do. Even microsoft paint will do. It all depends on how well you practice. How does everything work: Well let me say this can at some times be share. But not incredibly hard. You can write a whole book in one day. The problem with this is you want to make a book interesting. Take the book you wrote in 1 day. It would be better to take another 2 months to tune up the storyline and make the story plot better. After you have your story it's best to send it to an editor for proper grammar. While this is happening its best to send a rough copy with pictures to a publishing company to get someone interested in publishing and managing your book. Hope my answers help. Maybe one day we can work along side each other.
How would one become a writer for dc or marvel?
The first thing I discovered was that DC is not accepting submissions from writers right now http://www.dccomics.com/submissions and, judging from the apparent removal of their submissions guidelines page, neither is Marvel. That said, what you need to search for is submission guidelines for the company you're looking at- for Dark Horse you would enter dark horse submission guidelines- and you should get the information you need. I also want to point out that even if a company isn't accepting submissions right now, you still would want to get your submissions ready asap since there is a learning curve to sequential art and it can take some time to reach a point where you- and the company in question, natch- are happy with your portfolio. To that end, this page offers good information on submissions: http://www.optimumwound.com/the-submissi... Good luck. Learning this stuff and getting good at it can be fun and rewarding, as even just a few pages will show you. Edit: Excuse me, I tend to think of writing and art as one thing when it comes to comics, especially since I'm an artist and have to do my own writing. The advice still applies because I was actually talking about writing and had a slip of the tongue. If you can make a connection with someone in the business, by all means do so. If you can't, though, it's still important to let your work be seen. It helps to have mad art skills then, since pictures can be taken in at a glance. If the images draw the eye, the story follows. If nothing else you can put your work on the internet just to get it out there. Just don't make what you display something you wish to keep creators rights on unless you already own a copyright on it, because if it's good the idea WILL get stolen. As for submissions, tailor them to the company you're presenting them to. DC characters for DC Comics (it's ok to use their heroes as long as it's just for portfolio purposes), something preferably non-superheroic for Dark Horse, etc.
I can't draw but want to write for cartoons, is this possible?
All animated shows have writers, but yes, more recently a crop of shows has popped up that are written by the board artists. These shows include SpongeBob, The Regular Show, and Adventure Time. For those shows, you would need to have a strong drawing background. Most of the rest are scripted first. If you read the credits, you can see the ones that credit more writers. Writers for animated series are picked up in the same way as a writer for a live action show. You write a "spec script,"that is, a script written for a popular show. it doesn't have to be the one you are applying for, just one in the same vein. The idea is, if you can write in the voices of someone else's characters, you should be able to write for their characters a well. Often people who write for animation also write for live action, so I have seen spec scripts shopped around based on live action teen shows sent to animated show runners. So, yes, you just have to be a good writer (for 90% of the shows.) I could be wrong as I don't work on these shows but I'm pretty sure even the boarded/written shows have writers who make the outlines for the episode before they are boarded.
How does manga writers (mangaka) get so many ideas?
How is it flawless? Same thing with books, tv shows, music. Manga writers get a meaning out of it as an author. And there are flaws. And the same with anime. The creator makes the character once. And the animators have to do it a thousand times. The writer could get the idea from anywhere. No ordeal, nothing can be flawless. It's just that there are many mistakes they cannot find nor can the reader. Question>Where do they get their ideas? My Answer> Anything can come from anywhere. Anything can come at anytime. Maybe something inspires them to show the reader how to be in life. There is purpose for it and there is a point that starts it. I got my own manga idea to the fact on how the world changes and my thoughts but in a way to entertain someone while they just get some reasoning out of it. Manga writers get it from sense and instinct.

When writing a script for a television show, when you start a regular or recurring character (which has appeared in the last episode), you should name the name of a character in all caps?
In TV or movie script writing, all characters’ names always appear in ALL CAPS except in the dialogue. Even if they don’t have a “proper” name, their designation is in all caps. For example (Sorry about the loss of formatting; IIRC, stage directions are left-justified, and dialogue about 10 spaces in, with the speaker’s name centered. I’ll try to fudge it here…):INT: CASINO ROYALE - NIGHTThe place is busy and noisy. PATRONS are everywhere, playing games or watching others play.
