'The Killer In Me'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Yes, Joss thought I was rage-filled. Howard Gordon was the guy who kept insisting I take the meeting with Joss. He really felt it would be a match. When both Greenwalt and Joss reported back to Howard that they thought I was "the angriest man they'd ever met" he was astonished and said, "have you met yourselves? Tim's just exactly like you two!"
Bwhahahaha!!! Priceless.
So how's the rage doing these days, Tim?
I don't feel as rage-y.
I have to admit, I didn't realize I was rage-boy at the time, either.
In retrospect, do you think you were?
Tim's just exactly like you two!" Heh.
Hee. I seem to recall Joss expressing some rage in-print a couple of years after Rosanne.
In unrelated news, I have two sick kids at home. I am full of ennui.
I am full of ennui.
Careful! That's what did Neville in!

Careful! That's what did Neville in!
And it's such a dreadfully boring way to go.
I would think a nice soupçon of rage would be just the thing to motivate a young writer. Though I can imagine it being less than fun to be cooped up with for weeks on end.
