Interesting JMS Facebook Posts & Tweets

Definitely canon. I think JMS should do a George Lucas when WB restore the show, this extra scene needs to make it in using CGI.

LOL!!! I can actually hear it in their voices.

That is no joke. I have seen the show so many times I could actually imagine and hear that whole conversation.

[AstroBoy]

I suppose this is canon?

Yes, some replies have said this was previously used. Still, I've *got* to wonder about this project!!

"I like playing in different fields, so I'm open to going wherever the best story can be found. Currently developing a modern fantasy series with Brandon Sanderson for USA. Awaiting notes on the pilot script now. So yeah, have keyboard, will travel."

Forgot to post this last night. "CHANGELING" is now available on STARZ.

I wonder how different it is creating a Murder She Wrote plot compared to a Superman plot. Is the headspace you have to be in similar at all?

Nah, he just writes the same story only he removes the cape and costume from Jessica and subtracts some of her intelligence to write Superman.

I watched a lot of Murder She Wrote with my mother throughout the years. It's amazing how varied a writing spectrum JMS has created in his vast career. I forget about the Murder She Wrotes and the New Twilight Zones. I thought I'd never seen any of his writing when I first saw Babylon 5. I wonder how different it is creating a Murder She Wrote plot compared to a Superman plot. Is the headspace you have to be in similar at all? I can't imagine producing stories across such varied styles and media.

Okay, the public has spoken: Tuesday June 4 at 3:00 p.m. PST I will be hosting a #MurderSheWrote Ask-Me-Anything in line with the substantial part M,SW plays in #BecomingSupermanJMS. (Photo is from Incident in Lot 7, which I wrote to cross Jessica into the film world of Psycho.)

This is just beautiful!

[Jan]

Got any burning questions for JMS? He's thinking of doing some Ask Me Anything sessions for each of his projects.

Further news to jms "work day balance":

When asked "... When necessary for certain projects, have you found any tricks to modify your internal schedule?"
JMS retweets (mar. 15, 2019):

Not really, no. If I'm running a show and the only chance I have to write is during
what mortals call "the day" I try to knock down a few pages knowing it's crap and I'll
have to rewrite it later, but at least the clay is on the table. Otherwise, nope,
fuggadettaboudit.

Now, some people with a comparable work day schedule having ADHD, speculate about.

JMS retweets (mar. 15, 2019):

I rarely getting to bed before 4 a.m., so it's a natural result. The phone doesn't
ring, no interruptions, and the brain works differently late night, more open to odd
ideas, which is why informercials air then; at 2 a.m. the idea of buying a snuggie
actually seems reasonable

I do prefer MORE ODD IDEAS by jms against all thinkable snuggies.

Proper description of his work day:

JMS tweet (mar. 12, 2019):

I generally write until about 4 a.m., crash for 8 hours, get up, spend a couple of
hours trying to find my face (sadly, it's always the same face), doing meetings,
revisions, emails and twitter, then around 7 the jet engine in my brain roars to life
and I fly until 4.
