I'm currently writing a Spec Script for an Episode of Riverdale, (a bit cheesy I know..) and is writing a Spec Script a good idea?? And are there any tips? I guess it just feels weird cause I go from typically writing an original characters to pre-written characters.. Is it good practice?? Pls help.

(fuck yeah Riverdale)

First of all, there are a few different schools of thought on Spec Scripts, but regardless, I am of the opinion that there is no bad writing done.  It might not be useable, but it is writing, so therefore it is a good idea and good practice.

And I guarantee you that the advice I give will change in like five years cause this is crazy cyclical.

The biggest use of spec scripts right now is for fellowships, so being able to write a kickass one will only GREATLY HELP YOU get into one of those.

However, when sending around writing samples, people rarely look at Specs.

So.

YMMV.

As for tips as to how, I would challenge you to rewatch episodes, and pause it each time a character changes tactic in a scene to get what they want, then write down what the tactic change was.  Do that for as many episodes as you have patience to do.  That’s the biggest tool I have for getting into their heads.

(Also if you can get your hands on any of the shows scripts, do it!)
