I suggest you do what they did  — build rapport with other writers like yourself. Read each other’s work and lift each other up.

I was inspired by shows such as The Adventures of Pete and Pete and Eerie, Indiana — which it happens are the two shows that people ask me about most. These were single-camera shows with a strong sense of story and style, and didn’t pander with buffoonish characters and dumb jokes. These influences were indirect — mostly I considered them proof-of-concept that you could pull off a show like Gortimer. Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine was probably the most direct influence on the creation of the show.

We did not get cancelled. Amazon were proud supporters and superfans of the show. They gave us a “double order” of 26 episodes for Season 2 when we were only asking for 13.

To put it simply, we had always planned to do three seasons and end it — which equates to three years of middle school. The show is very much about the tween years, and I had no desire to do high school drama. More than anything, I wanted to end the show on a high note and not run the wheels off of it.
