The old movie pros agree! The writers of SOME LIKE IT HOT

‘Before anybody sat down and wrote a word, they talked the whole picture out. So that when you hear that they wrote it as they went along—they did in fact, to a certain degree — but they knew where they were going’. — Mrs I. A. L. Diamond, wife of the co-writer of the Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon mega-hit Some Like It Hot (1959).

As I was saying in my initial blog post… Writing happens in the mind first and foremost!
