Smart. Writing the scenes you’re excited by is a good idea. If you’re not excited about writing a scene, there might be a problem with it. And it might not even be necessary.

The entire ecosystem for producing mainstream sitcoms has changed, which is why they are now an endangered species… thesitutationroom.substack.com/p/the-lesser-s…
Who made Fresh Fields? (4 Series from ’84-86) #ItsOnlySonia
Who made A Fine Romance? (4 Series from 1981-84)
Who made The Cuckoo Waltz which ran for 4 series?
Is there a crisis in mainstream comedy? Yes and no. I think the main problem is that we’ve forgotten the art/entertainment balance. May I explain? thesitutationroom.substack.com/p/the-mainstre…
Not that I was a heavy user, but I’m coming off Twitter for Christmas, New Year and all of January. Maybe back on Candlemas (2nd Feb, but you knew that, right?). But maybe later. If ever. Have fun. If you need me, agent’s details in biog.
