Slowly then all at once

Writing the overall story for a new show? Takes a long time.

Writing the first draft for a pilot episode? Takes a long time.

Writing episode two? Much less time.

Writing episode three? Even less time.

Yet we look at the grind toward episode one… then at the calendar… and think to ourselves, “This is taking way too long! I’m moving too slowly!”

What folly it is to forget the realities of the creative process.
