I was on a retreat this past weekend in Connecticut. The long bus ride gave me some listening time, so I decided to fill my iPod up with some podcasts I hadn’t listened to before.
The most recent episodes of SCIFI.com’s Battlestar Galactica podcast is actually a recording of a Battlestar Galactica writers meeting. It’s really cool to hear how the creative process works in a commercial production setting. You can almost hear the creative juices flowing from one person to another. I’ve seen the episodes they’re discussing, and it’s interesting to hear how all the story arcs develop.
I think creativity works the same way for everybody. But in a group setting, under a deadline, and with plenty of financial incentive, it works much quicker.
