My wife is the kind of girl who will not go anywhere without her mother, and her mother will go anywhere.
Once I have a hook I think has potential - enough to spin out more than a hundred thousand words, then I start turning my attention to characters. Who are these people? Why did this thing happen to them? But the hook always comes first.
This is not the first time in my life where you know going into a job that you're going to hear in stereo what was wrong with what you did.
