Because, I said, “Look, I’m not going to tell Shonda Rhimes how to make television. It was really exactly what happened with Bridgerton, when I retained no creative control. I know how to write a television script.” It was a huge compliment, just the level of trust she had. And I checked in with her a few times, but for the most part, she just said, “You do what you know how to do.” Then she said, “I don’t know how to write a novel. And then I took those scripts and figured out how to turn them into a novel. So she wrote six scripts-two of them she wrote with someone else, but for the most part, she wrote six scripts-then handed them off to me. What we really did was take turns with what we did best and what our expertise is. Well, to be completely frank, I have no direct knowledge of Shonda’s process, because we didn’t work together holed up in a room.
