I'm on the fast train to Toronto, going through three, count'em,
three pitches, 'cause I naturally my first three meetings would all
be for different shows I want to do. And as I get the shows back into
my brain, I'm realizing that I didn't define the main character of
one of them well enough. I was trying to anticipate the questions
I'll get asked, and "Who is Claire really?" kinda threw me for a loop.
Now I have an answer.
One of the joys of television is it gets you out of that solipsistic
hermitlike writer frame of mind. Sure, a bad collaboration between
writers, or between writers and producers and network execs, can kill
a show. But a good one makes it incomparably better than anyone could
make it on its own. You just have to embrace the process, not run
from it.
