Writing for TV entails saying every dumb idea that comes into your head to a room of people. And doing so with the confidence that it doesn't make you look like an idiot.

As an author, I had spent years writing my stories on my own in a quiet room. My ideas traveled from my brain to my fingers, executed exactly as I saw fit, never veering from my own intent. TV simply doesn't work that way.

You have to know your value, demand to be respected, speak your mind, and dare to ask for what you want. I struggle with every single one of these.

I'd sing all day, every day, all the time if I thought it didn't sound like dying cats.

My passion is capturing what it feels like to love, be it romantic or otherwise. I love to watch two people realize what they meant for each other - and that goes across all media, books, TV, movies, personal essays; everything.

Notice the times in your life when you go above and beyond simply because you care so much.
