This is why I have always seen TGN as a failure: a failure in my terms, of what I had meant.

I look inside myself and see. — Laozi

Having written both comedy and drama, comedy's harder because the fear of failure's so much stronger. When you write a scene and you see it cut together, and it doesn't make you laugh, it hurts in a way that failed drama doesn't.
