Eric Wallace on Moving From Concept to Pages

An idea is exciting. Writing it is where things get real.

In Episode 2 of Working Title, Mark Elias sits down with writer, producer, and showrunner Eric Wallace (The Flash) to explore the moment every project faces: when the idea is locked, and it’s just you and the page.

Together, they break down what it actually takes to start writing—from building a bulletproof logline and outlining your story, to navigating doubt, discipline, and the pressure of the blank page. Eric shares practical tools and hard-earned lessons from decades in television, including how to know if you’re making real progress—even when the work doesn’t feel good yet.

Because until there are pages… there is no movie.
