Don't use lazy character names
Don’t use lazy character names. I’m a professional television writer. I read a lot of scripts, and one of my biggest pet peeves is when someone phones it in with a lazy character name, like Joe Wilson. No disrespect to anyone named Wilson, but it’s a very common last name. If you name your character that, it’s like, what’s the first thing that just pops into your head? Joe Wilson, I’ll just name him that. It’s lazy.
