This week How I Wrote that sat down with a trio of working writers who also work hard for their union. Elizabeth Martin &amp; Lauren Hynek are a writing team responsible for the live action Mulan but they also serve as Co-Chairs of the Committee of Women Writers at the Writers Guild of America, West. They each offer solid advice on the business of screenwriting as well as the craft.  Hynek says the benefit of writing as a team is a more cohesive script, “We would fight about a scene and then realize part of the reason we’re fighting about it is it was not supposed to be in the movie.”  Alison Schroeder was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Hidden Figures and is currently working on Christopher Robin.  Her response to the idea of a writer’s ritual is simple:  “I don’t miss deadlines. That’s my ritual.”Martin: “If we’re having trouble with something it’s because we’re not trying it from the right angle so we’ll just try it from another angle.” Lauren Hynek:  “Once you get the job it’s only 10% writing.  90% is how you are in the room.” Alison Schroeder: “Pitching is an art form in and of itself and you have to learn how to do it fast, because you’re doing all this for free so you can’t let it consume all your time.”
