Stephen J. Cannell on his advice to aspiring writers - EMMYTVLEGENDS.ORG

This video was very insightful and helpful. I finished my second novel and am in the process of researching and writing my third. My main concern is comparing my previous work with the work that I've yet to accomplish, thinking my new project might not be as well-received. I suppose the important thing to remember is not to put so much pressure on the work and just let the words flow.

@Sarasdad91 He sure was but he was my hero for a different reason even though I never met him the typewriter video said to me you got to do more than just watch TV.

The last time I watched Stephen J Cannell on tv was a show called ''Bring back the A-Team'. It was about a British presenter trying to get the A-Team together, Stephen was in the show and if you get the chance to see him, watch it. I think it gives a great insight into his sense of fun, creativity and inspirational character.

His "conversations with..." episode at USC is truly amazing. It's up for free download on iTunes. It's so impressive how he shared his vast knowledge with the students. He was one cool, fun and intelligent guy. RIP

Oh, no. I went to the Dead or Alive website to confirm that Mr. Cannell was still alive before I posted my comment 16 minutes ago. Just went to a website that, sadly, confirmed Mr. Cannell's death. Sorry for my comment below. An honest mistake. Mr. Cannell was a great talent. RIP, Mr. Cannell.

Ahh, as of the moment I type this, Mr. Cannell is still alive and with us.
