this is all i've got. I'll add to it, but the thing i can't even begin to chip into is how to make a series out of it. Writing one scene is hard enough, but this is the beginning, and that's meant to be the hardest bit.

I'm writing a pilot to a TV show. I can honestly say without doubt it's the hardest and most stressful thing i've ever done. I have no idea whatsoever what to write. I know what story i want to portray. I know i want to be about a gangster like figure, and the way it starts is showing how he grows up low and learns street knowledge on his way to getting to the top and starts running things. But my god, how the fuck do i do it? Think how complicated anybody's life is, all those little entanglements, metaphors, allegories and all that shit you face in most stories or real life, how the hell do i do that? This is what i want to do. I want a story.

Start off just writing small anthology stories. It's good practice.

don't be shy. post the outline.

Outline:
Tommy gradually descends into further and further violence and he thinks it's to block out the increasing insanity of the world around him. However, after several dreams and nightmares, he realizes it's as much to do as the insanity of others as much as it is his subconscious desire to achieve more than he has in life.

that is not an outline.

come back when you have something more substantial.
