'Who wants to write the filler?' This is interesting, because this seems to be a problem when you're writing stories / novels etc but not (hopefully) when you're writing scripts. You can jump all over the place in a script, ditching all the tedium. Actually, I suppose you can do that just as well in prose, but it requires quite a sharp editorial eye and lots of courage to say, Fuck it, I don't need the filler. The reader isn't stupid, they'll work it out themselves. Then you have to make sure the prose doesn't sound jumpy. So far, I haven't managed any of this at all in my great oeuvre. Not at all.
