Q: There are a lot of poems focused on the theme of death, grief, or sympathy that are appropriate for funerals. Think about whether the deceased person had any favorite poets or specific poems. Pick one that reflects the deceased person and their passions or personality. You could also write your own short poem about the person if you want to express your own emotions. If you don't have room to include an entire poem, use 1 or 2 of the most meaningful lines from the piece instead. Choose a phrase that the person who passed away was known for, as long as it's appropriate for the occasion. For example, you could use what Grandma Jane said every time she put a pie in the oven: "Everything tastes better with love!" Only use quotes or phrases that most people will be familiar with. Avoid inside jokes that only you know. If the famous phrase includes curse words or something inappropriate, or if it could offend someone in the audience, don't include it. If you have something you want to say to the person who passed, use the eulogy as an opportunity to share it. Keep it to 2 to 3 sentences and make sure it contains a message that the rest of the audience can relate to. For example, now is not the time to tell Grandma Jane that you stained her good apron. Instead, say something like, "Grandma, I'll miss your blueberry pie, but more than that, I'll miss the way you used to hug me when I was sad or how your laugh was the best sound in the world. I can't wait to see you again one day." Look up towards the sky while you address the person to feel more connected to their spirit. If religion was a big part of their life and beliefs, incorporate it into your eulogy by ending with a quote from a spiritual leader or a passage from a religious text. For example, if they were Christian, you might use a Bible verse as the final sentence. You could also end the eulogy with a brief prayer in the deceased person's honor. Only include themes that you're comfortable with. If you didn't share the same beliefs as the person who passed, choose a different way to end your eulogy.
A: Recite a short poem if the person who passed away loved poetry. End with a quote from the deceased if they had a famous saying. Address the deceased person directly for an extra emotional ending. Use words of faith if the deceased person was religious.

Article: Writing for a show and characters you are connected to will come across as more authentic than writing for a show just because it is popular. Do not write an original show idea. Show executives want to know if you can write in a preexisting world without drastically changing the show's dynamic or losing your unique voice. An established show is better than a brand new one since it will likely still be on the air when your script is ready to send out. This is not the time to drastically change the path of the show or showcase your new ideas. Stay true to the characters and storyline to prove that you can work within the established world of the show. Think about the storyline the show revolves around. If it is a mystery, do not solve the mystery in your episode. Similarly do not write an episode in which two characters finally become a couple if the show revolves around their romantic tension. It is also best to not kill off any characters in your spec script. Do not revisit or rewrite the show's history. You should keep your script within the confines of present day for the show. Your script should be free of flashbacks and mythology. Edit your script, then edit it again. Watch the TV show you are writing an episode for and then go back to your script to make sure the writing stays true to the show. Is the dialogue believable for the show? Are your stage directions realistic within the confines of the series? Family and friends are not ideal as they are often too close to you to be honest.
