Often times it is to build a fictional story around events that echo real world events. So a private plane that crashes off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard is an echo of the JFK jr flight. I don’t do it to exploit the true story, more to tap into that part of the brain that says “I remember a story like that,” which automatically adds a sense of authenticity to fiction.(less)

So…moreI wanted to look at empathy and fear, which are waring emotions — the care we have for each other versus our suspicion. Both can be fed by stories. So what happens when an event that naturally triggers empathy — a plane crash, a man saves a child — is corrupted and turned into a story about fear?(less)

New Things

It's been busy lately on the TV front. I joined up with Alex Kurtzman & Bob Orci (Star Trek, Transformers, Fringe) on a new show for ABC. http://www.deadline.com/2012/07/abc-b...

And I've got another big deal in the works, should be announced this week.

On the book front, I'm about 150 pages into a new novel. I'm excited about it, but it's still too early to say much.

Quotes by Noah Hawley  (?)

“It's hard to be sad when you're being useful.”
Noah Hawley, Before the Fall

“Everyone is from someplace. We all have stories, our lives unfolding along crooked lines, colliding in unexpected ways.”
Noah Hawley, Before the Fall

“Everyone has their own path. The choices they've made. How any two people end up in the same place at the same time is a mystery. You get on an elevator with a dozen strangers. You ride a bus, wait in line for the bathroom. It happens every day. To try to predict the places we'll go and the people we'll meet would be pointless.”
Noah Hawley, Before the Fall
