I Would Say On A Creative Level

I Don't Want My Writing To Be So Unique That When You Apply It To Different Genres, It Seems Like The Previous Show That People Know You From.

When You Start A Tv Show, You're Not Necessarily Thinking, "are We Setting Up What We Need For Season Seven?" You're Just Trying To Stay On The Air, And You Try To Learn Your Job As You Go, And Do What You Can.

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.

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.

I Think The Bar Is Higher These Days In Terms Of Audience Expectations Of Authenticity.
