In this segment I'll be looking at what inspired me to write.With Earth, I don't really recall where I got the idea from. It just popped into my head like most other writers such as Douglas Adams and his drunken thoughts in a field in Amsterdam wondering if anyone was going to write about a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and J. K. Rowling and while being stuck on a train got the idea about Harry Potter and not having a pen and some paper to write the whole idea down.
My Idea came from nowhere and I began to write. As it began it started out overblown and far to big for a simple radio station. The cast list was huge and the ideas that I had couldn't be done properly on radio.
So I began to rewrite this single episode and began to expand it. I took an example from J. Michael Strazinski's Babylon 5. Where a long complex story was told over a Five Year bridge. I had wanted to expand Earth from a single episode into a Six-Part-Series.
As I expanded the story I believe I went too far. The Current plan for Earth will be explained later but I will do into detail about what happened when I added a few more seasons to a story that had apparently finished several stories ago.
Next time I'll talk more about the making of the first episode of Earth and possibly some artwork.
