Direction
I was a late bloomer and always envied those people who stood out in high school because I didn’t. I learned early on, although, that it’s essential to set yourself apart from the group. Life is one struggle after another to succeed, particularly when you’re starting out. If your bio-data is sitting at the bottom of a pile of junk mail, sometimes a distinctive approach will get you noticed, especially if the competition is fierce.
Once my partner Jerry and I asked the other freelance writers of a TV serial what characters they hated to write for the most. Everybody said the same thing – they disliked writing for the minor characters because they felt that writing for them wouldn’t help them get other jobs. Jerry and I decided that we would write scripts for the minor characters because that’s what was needed and we needed to set ourselves apart.
In the first script Jerry and I wrote; a school girl falls in love with a boy in her class. The producers loved the story. And with that one script, Jerry and I were no longer just another comedy- writing team.
