Whew. I wrote the book quickly. I had a first draft in six months, and then I took a year to revise after selling it. (I was working full-time at ANOTHER writing job, at the New York Times, so it was particularly slow-going.) The episodes came similarly quickly, though it was the only thing I was doing and also in TV you have these steps — outline, draft, another draft. Each gets a round of notes. You're not really in charge of the pace, though once you're in production, you just have to be producing scripts quickly. Many people have a writers' room, which seems far easier, but I chose to write seven of the eight episodes myself (Mike Goldbach wrote 103). - Taffy
