First of all... I am not a native speaker, so... you there may be some errors in this... sorry.

I have to admit I am a fan. A huge fan. Obviously, being a writer myself (a playwright, to be exact) I tend to over-analize -besides enjoying- shows, plays, movies, etc.

Iīd like to know -if possible- a little bit about the creative process of the show. I understand there are two writers, is that so? How do you organize the work? In Peru, for instance, they think one or two writers can produce decent daily episodes, and series run for the whole year, non-stop. Maybe thatīs one of the reasons why we donīt have hit-series.

I realize my question is very ambiguous. Anything you can tell me about your process will be helpful. Even though I work mainly for the theatre, Iīve always thought that well-constructed characters and intelligent plots are the heart and soul to any form of creative writing. And thatīs what youīve accomplished with "Lost".

Thanks!
