Publishing the scripts in book form is something that I'll have
to consider later, there will probably have to be negotiations with WB
over it.
There's no real advice I can give to an aspiring writer that
would mean a damn except to write, keep writing, keep sending it out,
and don't stop.

ATTN JMS: A B5 Novel???

Tools are tools...learning how to use narrative in a scene, and
narration over a scene, as different things...using visual
counterpoint to a scene...different kinds of exposition, and ways to
present exposition so that it doesn't *feel* like exposition...it's all
intuitive.
