Maybe there are two poles: The bureaucrat and the artist. The bureaucrat will only make a judgement call when instructed to do so by the process, and then always choose the option least likely to cause problems. The artist will randomly follow or not follow the process and happy accidents are expected as a side effect of all the blunders. Of course all real people are in between.

[@writingforscreens]

And of course there is some bureaucrat in every artist, and even an artist in some bureaucrats.

Why doesn't Hollywood hire such sophisticated screenwriters like you any longer? Because you guys are expensive? No wonder movies nowadays mostly suck.

[@writingforscreens]

Thank you, that's kind. But it's also true that there are legitimate reasons to hire writers from other generations, and with other experiences. I'm lucky to have had the opportunities I did :)
