I always used to 'complain' that script writers did not have much idea about what humans are really liked. I was an early and committed Star Trek fan and I used to 'joke' that all the writers were certainly in in Jungian analysis. I see an incredible evolution in plots and character development with mixtures of plot lines, details of human inner and relational experience, etc., that is now much as Matt has described in your conversation. Helpful for me. I don't write scripts but I do write regular Field Notes on my website, and I am always looking to improve my writing. This will definitely be helpful for me.
Thanks so much Avraham! I'm glad to hear this was helpful. I do think scripts have gotten more complex and nuanced over the years as film and TV have evolved, and audience sensibilities have gotten more sophisticated.
Thanks Matt! What I had in mind was your comment in the interview about the psychological dimension of your writing. I thought the Notes might be helpful. The Notes are meant for therapists and for people who are interested in their own growth and development.
I am happy to respond to any questions you might have regarding details...
I will be grateful for feedback if you have any comments about the writing.

PS I am sure you are very busy. However, should you want to see my Field Notes: https://dravrahamcohen.com/field-notes/
I mean... they look great to me! But I also don't know what I'm looking for in field notes particularly. Seems like a whole different animal!
