, Writing anything, it sorta starts the way you'd build a castle at the beach. You're just taking your hands and you're mounting up sand.
Is it (Sports Night) a comedy or a drama? That's generally not a question I try and answer for myself before I'm going to write something.
People who don't know anything tend to make up fake rules, the real rules being considerably more difficult to learn.
