David Marchese, writing for New York Times Magazine, has a wonderful profile on Phoebe Waller-Bridge that’s worth reading.

This bit stood out to me –

Really early on, I would deliver a script to a producer, and they’d go, “This is a bit —” and I’d go: “I know! I hate it! This is what I really want to write!” And I’d have another script: the naughty-hand script. I’d be like, “I meant to do that.” And they’d be like, “This one’s really good!” It was like I had to get the one that I thought people wanted out of my system and then be like: “Suckers! Here’s a much better one!”

Sounds like a writer to me.
