	I think we will all agree that JMS has worn more hats than
anyone involved in a TV series of late...or EVER, for that matter.

	Which brings me to the question;

	When do you feel most at home during the creative process of
the show?

	Is it on the set...getting your hands dirty...actually seeing
your vision come to life?

	Or is it while you are writing...actually giving such
wonderful life to the characters that inhabit that vision?

First and foremost, I'm a writer.  That's not just what I do, it's who and what
I *am*.  So of all the things I do, that's when I'm most in my element.  John
Flinn can beat me on stage in composing a shot, John Copeland can configure a
fight scene better in editing than I can (most days), Chris Franke can come up
with touches in music that I would never think of...

But behind the keyboard, nobody can touch me.  (Hmm...I wonder what my
subconscious would make of that statement; I think I just said more than I
wanted to.)  

Anyway...this is where I'm at home.  My goal is real simple: to write better
than anyone who can write faster than me, and faster than anyone who can write
better than me.
