This is Zach Cregger’s approach to first drafts as a screenwriter. It’s called “elfing”. He’s right. ✍🏼

Elfing

To those wandering I’ve been working hard on something. No title drop but I will say this. It will be ELFING AMAZING! Lots of action drama and laughs in what I’m working on. Get ready I recently finished chapter 6 and let’s say one scene in it will draw you in.

Zach Cregger's advice on "elfing" is really good, too. He basically imagines that he gives a story idea to a "bad elf" to write. Then, writing as the elf, he writes a story as terribly as possible. Intentionally bad. Then he can go in and fix it after it's done. That way he won't agonize over everything he writes while he's writing it. I'm going to try it.

It's Elfing awesome!!! 👏🏼💜 e.l.f. Cosmetics I'm obsessed!!!! 🤩 #elf #makeupreview #getreadywithme #liquidblush #liptint
