I think both is best, but yeah you need skill in any regard. Being a nerd with no skill leads you no where but to the depths of weird fan fiction

Quote from: celedhring on Today at 02:45:31 AMMy friends over at LA tell me often that the new guys on the block (i.e. Amazon, Netflix) are pretty adamant about killing the traditional way TV was made in the US, where writers held a lot of power (showrunners in particular). Picking novice writers is a way to do it since they are less likely to push back.
Of course my friends are all WGA members so you may think they are biased, but it does make a lot of sense.
I can vouch that many producers (not all!) see us writers as essentially a commodity, where it doesn't really matter whom you hire, what really matters is the "package" (IP, concept, talent), and we are just people assembling the parts.
