Hart Hanson, screenwriter, producer and creator of the popular Fox television series  BONES  recently had some words of advice for aspiring writers and what he looks for in a screenwriter:

What Hanson looks for in new screenwriters:

“First, I look for writing that pops. Second, I look for great ideas and stories. Third, I look for energy and enthusiasm on the page. Fourth, I look for someone I’d want to spend time with — including personal hygiene. And somewhere in there I do care about spelling and punctuation.”

Advice for aspiring writers:

“Write and write and write and write and write some more. Writing begets better writing. Using the imagination begets better imagineering. It’s like practicing a musical instrument.”
