Deadwood creator David Milch doesn't write a word of his scripts....he talks out all the dialogue, which is then transcribed.

Yes, kings and show runners can do these things. But his method is no madness: it leads directly back into the oral tradition.

Try it when you can't stand another moment at the keyboard. Turn on a tape recorder (or your recording device of choice), and let the characters speak out loud to you, with NO PLAN. You might be surprised.
