(http://www.geocities.com/soporjoe77/josschat.html)"Buffy" and "Angel" I spend an enormous amount of time breaking stories with the writers. Trying to find the heart of the story. That is the most important part.
(http://timminear.net/archives/2000/01/)Someone will pitch an idea, Joss and David either like it or they don't. If they do, then the staff works together to beat out the story points. We use a big white board and chart out the scenes in single, incomplete sentences. We tell each other the story. Then the writer of that particular episode will go off and fill out the details in an 8 to 10 page story outline. We'll get notes from David, Joss and the staff on that outline. Then we'll go to script. We'll get notes from David, Joss, the staff, the network and the studio. We'll do revisions. Assuming we haven't run into the prep date (8 days before the shooting of the episode), we'll make final changes.
I've noticed that David and Joss don't do a lot of revisions once prep and shooting begins. I am so the opposite. I love to noodle with the thing right through shooting, sometimes on the set. My scripts are every color of the rainbow (with each revised page comes a new page color). It's never right for me.

"The workload is every bit as big as you would imagine it is. It's almost too much for a human being to stand, and it's been the hardest year imaginable,'' he says.
"I am better at it than I was the first year of Buffy, and I probably get more sleep than I did,'' he laughs.
"But every single minute of every single day that I am not home is spent accomplishing something. There is no down-time. That's how it is with two shows. With three it is much more intense, and I'm working harder on the shows than I was before.
"I complain a lot, and I feel that is justified," he says, with the faintest hint of a wry smile. "I'm overworked and overpaid.''

"A new show has to have that onset attention more than any other, but where it really happens - for any show - is in the story-breaking. Figuring out the story, figuring out what it means, figuring out all those beats.
I've got competent people to write them. I know they can do the job - not every time, sometimes they airball, everybody does - but most times out of the gate they will get it right as long as the story is right. When we start, the big dry erase board is blank, every time.''

"Even though I love (my) writers, if they're not giving me what I need, I get all mean and scary. I won't settle. I've settled occasionally and known it, and regretted it."

*Sträcker upp handen*
Jag förstår inte vad folk har emot Ted.... som jag säkert nämnt tidigare var det ett av de avsnitt som fick mig att inse hur bra BtVS är.

Buffy och Holden, vilket var innan jag fick reda på att Espenson inte skrivit hela.
