I’m enjoying L.A. a lot more than I thought I would and a lot of that has to do with the writers’ room. There are ten of us in all – seven writers (including Martin and myself) and three support staff whose ideas and input are encouraged. The vibe is fun, relaxed, and collaborative, devoid of egos, kooks, and that one guy who always laments “I was just about to say that!” every time someone comes up with a good idea. Rather than being competitive, it’s overwhelmingly supportive and just a very positive environment. Also, we’re not working crazy hours which means I get to spend some daytime hours with Akemi and Sharky.
We’re staying in a nice neighborhood with plenty of dog-friendly coffee shops, a Whole Foods AND a Trader Joe’s, as well as a touristy outdoor mall which gives me access to fancy cheeses, olive oils, and chocolates. The weather has also been exceptional and we are NOT missing the winter weather.
Two months to go!
