While the site and logo are being finalized, I wanted to shed some light on what this is and who I am.

Set to launch in early 2013, TV Write Now is a new podcast and website dedicated exclusively to interviews with today’s top television writers. My focus will be on the creative process, going beyond the page and behind the screen to explore and highlight the craft of creating television. The podcast and site will both feature in-depth interviews to enlighten and educate fans about how their favorite series’ come to life. And, frankly, to shine a spotlight on the true rock stars of the modern television era – those who create indelible characters and iconic shows.

For many years, I wrote about LOST extensively, and transitioned from blogger to freelance writer after the series ended. I have contributed to AOLtv (now HuffPoTV), Popular Mechanics, and TV Overmind and more. But because my primary interest is to learn more about the process behind the scenes rather than analyze the final product, I created TV Write Now.

If you are a television writer or you represent one, please do not hesitate to contact me if you’re interested in participating!

I am very fortunate to have lined up the show runners/executive producers/writers of a current hit drama series for an interview on the inaugural TV Write Now podcast, which should debut in January. Thank you for visiting, and stay tuned!

My very first blog, created in 2005, lived on a host site that decided to shut down. Alas, I was able to save the content (but not the comments) by transferring it to an existing WordPress site. Thus, it all now lives here! The original site was called JOpinionated: Pop Culture Perspective. It contained my thoughts and opinions about pop culture, as well as my initial LOST theories. I had to save it all for posterity!
