Re: Professional v Amateur

Harlan has always been both brilliant and... difficult. But he's not wrong. He's also a very vociferous advocate for the professional writer. He hates working in TV and film becasue he's been burned so many times.

Now, for a hoot, got to Amazon and get a used paperback of "The Starcrossed", which is about a future LA writer working on one of the first 3-d episodic TV series, a science-fiction retelling of "Romeo and Juliet".

It is in reality a thinly-veiled tell-all behind-the-scenes description of the horrendous process Harlan went thru as a writer for a Canadian Sci-Fi TV series called "The Starlost". In the book he sends up LA in general and the TV production community in particular, and the reason it is so GD funny is all the incidents in the fake sci-fi book are based on things that really happend on the actual show.
