Question: I’m starting out as a comedy writer and was wondering if I should get a writing partner or go solo? Answer: Having a writing partner who makes you laugh and you’re creatively sympatico with is the quickest, funnest and most efficient way to write a strong script. Particularly when you’re starting out. You’ll inspire each other, there’ll be more joke density, half-arsed ideas will be less likely to make it, big print will be leaner and four eyes on any script are better than two. But when it comes to writing duos, the divorce rate is higher than marriage. In Hollywood, there are shrinks who have businesses devoted to counseling writing partners (Hi Dr Dennis Palumbo).
