Emma Coats’ 22 Guidelines for Storytelling (aka “Pixar’s 22 Rules for Storytelling”)
When you filter out all the Star Trek posts and viewing guides, one of my most visited posts was about Javier Grillo-Marxuach’s “11 Laws of Showrunning.” Showrunners are invariably writer-producers, and while some of the laws definitely get into writing (e.g. #6: Write and Rewrite Quickly), it’s more into management. I mean, per my reading, a huge motivation for writing the “11 Laws” was Grillo-Marxuach wanting to give leadership principles he wished he’d been given when he was first being a showrunner – and one’s he refined over 20 years of being a television writer-producer (including being a showrunner).
