    Spongebob taught me an important lesson about writing. The plot doesn't matter. It's all about character and execution. They turned a plot about a missing name tag into one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my entire life. There is humor to be found in every situation.

    I have a whole brain full of ideas. In fact, I’m writing a screenplay as we speak.

      Underrated? Maybe by the fans. Writers have more power and make much more money than most animation workers.

      @@lbrtvlldrin modern tv animation, no one is highly skilled. But on something like a Disney hand drawn film the animators and character designers are most important. Writing for animation your main job is to serve the art. If you were good enough for writing to be the focus you would be writing novels.

    we must always try writing different story ideas, research about the topics , its always useful,
    follow the act structure and try reading and rewriting the script and make corrections.
    If necessary ask the opinion of others

    Animation writers develop story ideas and present them in the form of scripts. Their scripts are used by storyboard artists and directors to work out the visual art style of a project.
    A spec script screenplay is a non-commissioned and unsolicited screenplay.
    Act 2 is usually called the confrontation, and the basic components in the second act are The main character needs to encounter obstacle after obstacle for him/her to develop and for the story to be interesting to the reader.This is the place in the story where the character usually realizes what he or she must learn or change going forward.Knowing your audience -their general age, gender, education level, religion, language, culture, and group membership-is the single most important aspect of developing your speech.the audience listens, often without asking questions or responding with any feedback.

      Analyze and adapt. Just do anything you desire and get notes on how to improve from the masters. The only time you really need a mentor haha
