Do we writers not suffer enough disrespect as it is without having our contribution relegated to mere 'additional details'? When will people get it through their thick skulls that, far from being the least important link in the creative chain, we are probably the most important. Without writers, directors wouldn't direct, producers wouldn't produce and actors with no gift for improvisation wouldn't act. The problem we face is that just about everyone can write to some degree and, as a result, everyone thinks they can do our job as well as we can. Does anyone recall the last time someone mentioned how good the direction or production was on shows like The Wire and Deadwood? I rest my case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
