Good question about writers studying the outline before creating their own script. There is actually a screenwriting software program that helps write your story for you. That is evil.

The Tao of poop article had a very…different perspective. At first I thought Dan Harmon was just making a joke about some poorly made submissions, but as I kept reading it seemed like he was giving tips in the form of bad advice. HE pretty much gave 10 tips on 10 things that would make a bad film, which most people would not find useful. However, if you took it from the opposite perspective and looked at those ten things as ten things you shouldn’t have in your film or story then they help to improve your story. In the previous article by Dan Harmon he explained the guidelines needed to give sufficient information to your audience so they can understand the plot, but he also explained that his advice is very general since he can’t help everyone with their specific storylines. Here he still unable to get specific with more good things that you can add to a story, because he can’t tell a person what to put in their story. The type of language that Dan Harmon uses in his articles is also very interesting to me. The language is very informal, often with words you wouldn’t even dare to use in many conversations; however it comes across as easy to read. There is utter simplicity in reading and understanding what he is trying to point out. He obviously has no need to use very big words to try and seem very intelligent because people are not reading his posts to see his language, but to understand his techniques and advice that he must somehow communicate easily and that is something he does well.
