I Don't Want My Writing To Be

You Can Make A Good Show, But You Still Need Some Magical Alchemy To Get People To Watch.

I've Spent A Lot Of Time Thinking About What The Audience Would Want. That's My Job, Is To Anticipate Ahead Of The Audience.

The Worst Thing You Can Do Is End Up With A Network Show On Cable Or End Up With A Cable Show On Network.

There Are Story-room Sessions Where You Think About The Big Picture, Like A Novel, But Once You Have Certain Things In Place, You Have To Treat Each Episode Like An Hour Of Tv, And Think That Maybe This Will Be The Only Episode That Anyone Will Ever Watch. You Want To Have Some Sort Of Beginning, Middle, And End To The Episode, Even If You Have Storylines That Are Carrying Over. You Still Want It To Feel Like A Cohesive Hour Of Entertainment. And You Can't Think About Both At The Same Time.
