Yep, that's a fun interview, as we've come to expect from Jane.

Thinking about the Finding Serenity book, just gave me a strike-idea though: what if the striking writers were to publish a book of short stories penned by, well, themselves and used the generated money to further their efforts or to help keep their finances up, if this strike drags on for long? It'd also be a great way for their fans to show they'd buy something based on the name of the writer alone.

But of course, the writers would first have to write the stories instead of picket and would have to write short stories instead of scripts, and there'd have to be someone editing the book... guess it's not such a great idea after all :-p.

*cough*... anyway, I'll be getting 'Serenity Found'. I didn't get the previous one, but I think I might just want this one more.

Much as I enjoyed 'Finding Serenity', I think 'Serenity Found' is more consistent and has a higher quality of essays on the whole (of those i've read, still saving a few), well worth a look IMO.

Very co-rubbish interview that ;). I like the stuff about different "rooms" especially, insighty. Accounts seem to indicate you might need a thicker skin in a sitcom room, i've read stuff about how writers need to feel free to say a lot of things that many might consider beyond the pale in order to reel it back in, err, inside the pale (?). Might be hard to take if you're not used to a fairly "robust" working environment.
