Writing Lesson: 5 Things I Learned From Season 1 of ‘Dollhouse’

1)Make the expected ‘unexpected’ event even more unexpected.

2)Arranging your characters in new or unusual pairings can give you the opportunity reveal more about their personalities.

3)Flashbacks have a bad rep, when they can actually be an invaluable tool to progress the story when coupled with great exposition.

4)Sometimes the beginning is not the best place to start.

5)Remember that people are complex, and there is always more than one motive for their actions or reactions.
