Animation Writer Q&A: Commercials?
Q: (With regard to a writing sample) I noticed that the
Fairly Odd Parents cartoon is 11 mins per episode. How many commercials are
there during those 11 min episodes?
A: It's more instructive to look at it as a full half hour
with 2 - eleven minute episodes. The rest of the time is split between commercials and credits. When
writing an eleven minute sample episode, you don't need to worry about the
commercials, just write the episode (18-20 pages, screenplay format).

Thoughts about the above question? Got a question about
animation writing in general? Leave it in the comments.

Mini Review: PANDORA GETS JEALOUS by Carolyn Hennesy
Pandora brings a box (THE box) to school for her project and when it accidentally gets opened, has to round up all of the bad stuff that escaped within a year . . . or else! Filled with tons of heart and humor, Pandora Gets Jealous is a fun, well-written story where the beguiling main characters face genuine peril. Author Hennesy knows what she's doing and keeps things moving along at just the right pace. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Recommended.

Mini Review: PALM TREES AND SNOW FLAKES by Scott Bury
A fun and fast-paced read, "Palm Trees and Snowflakes" is a welcome continuation of the "Hawaiian Storm" mystery series. This time, FBI Special Agent Vanessa Storm does battle with a shady operation that's trying to saturate Honolulu (and beyond) with a lethal designer drug called "Snowflake." Author Bury spins a good yarn, deftly combining a strong mystery with romance and elements of a police procedural. Recommended.

Mini Review: BRING ON THE MAGIC by Brian Clopper
A young wizard, Randall Flood, and a talking spell book, Chuck, team up to protect the mythical creatures and raw magic that have begun to seep back into our modern world. All seems to be going well until Randall develops a nagging suspicion that his noble mission may not be all that noble. With its sharp writing, light-hearted humor, exciting action, and impressive world-building, "Bring On the Magic" has quickly become my favorite Brian Clopper book. Recommended.
