Pain in creative writing: Quick relief using the analytic hierarchy process

Wes Gerrish

Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM), 1983, vol. 25, issue 2, 120-124

Abstract: The mechanics of writing depend largely on the creation of strong and credible human beings. The writer must understand the objectives and assumptions of his characters thoroughly in order to keep track of all the parts that go into creating each. If a scene becomes too complex to understand using the writer's intuition, the Analytic Hierarchy Process can be used as a quick way of getting to what is relevant. It allows access to information which normally only surfaces after long reflection. The author describes the application of the AHP to a screenplay on which he has been working.
