At the risk of ending up with a very long thread, here's an overview of what goes into writing an episode. When you see a writer credited with "Written By," that generally denotes the person who wrote the Story Area, the Outline and the First draft of the episode script.

That script is then rewritten, usually by the showrunner, but often one or more of the Co-EPs will be involved in this process. The higher up you are on the ladder, the less likely your script is going to be rewritten.

Before all that, we "break" the episode as a group.

In theory, every writer has some level of involvement with every episode. Often it will happen that when a room for 109 is going, the writers for 107 and 108 are out writing their eps. Some breaks will have less of the staff involved than others.

so I have coped with my Dad's death this week by actually doing some writing. It's been a good release, but there's this surreal aspect to grieving and engaging with grieving people on social media. Me being me, I can't stop rewriting it all as a CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM ep

And so I give you...

INT. GREENE HOUSEHOLD – DAY

Jeff and Susie Greene are holding a wake. Larry David grazes at the cheese platter, using the same toothpick to poke several successive cheese squares.

SUSIE: Lare! I got a bone to pick with you!

LARRY: Every one I touch with this toothpick is going straight into my mouth.

SUSIE: It’s about the Facebook post.

LARRY: Facebook post?

SUSIE: You liked Jeff’s announcement of his cousin’s death, but not mine!

LARRY: But I "liked" Jeff’s!

There's this thing I've noticed that happens when friends of my father reach out with sympathy over his passing - I almost get put in the role of consoling them more than they me.

(this is not a complaint. It is an observation.)

It's like I become this proxy for them to say goodbye to him. And they want to become this proxy for everything he told them about me. They all want to make sure I know how much he talked about me.

And that helps, it really does. And I'm sure it helps them. But...

one thing does doesn't really let me be is angry. And let me tell you, when this happens under these circumastances, a very prominent emotion is ANGER.

A friend reached out via email yesterday and led by sharing their anger and their empathy for mine and it was SO freeing.

This was three weeks ago. Dad died this morning after six days on a ventilator.

Pursing herd immunity puts us all at risk of this. Please vote for Joe Biden tomorrow

okay, eyes are on this thread so I want to give you an idea of what someone like my dad goes through.

hours after he sent that text, he collapsed at home in the bathroom and hit his head. He had to be taken to the hospital. They fixed him up, COVID symptoms weren't terrible yet

His breathing was a little labored, but since they gave him the option of going home he took it. A few hours after that, he felt like he was having trouble breathing and went BACK to the ER. He was admitted, this was early Tuesday, and I believe they placed him in the ICU
