It&#8217;s got me thinking about process and over the next little while I&#8217;m going to try to post about my writing process. I&#8217;m always interested in hearing about the processes of others as well so don&#8217;t be shy.<\/p>\n<p>But before I get to that, I&#8217;ll share a little bit about my latest experience in the prelude to my writing process: Research.<\/p>\n<p>I do lot of research in the early part of just about any script. Most of that research I do online, as I&#8217;m sure many people do. Recently I was looking for information on satellite technology; more specifically Earth observation from orbit. Occasionally it&#8217;s sobering and often amusing to be reminded of the perils of this online research methodology. The following is a snippet of &#8220;information&#8221; I came across online:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;A spy satellite can monitor a person\u2019s every movement, even when the \u201ctarget\u201d is indoors or deep in the interior of a building or traveling rapidly down the highway in a car [&#8230;] Besides tracking a person\u2019s every action and relaying the data to a computer screen on earth, amazing powers of satellites include reading a person\u2019s mind, monitoring conversations, manipulating electronic instruments and physically assaulting someone with a laser beam.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Wait, what?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A prelude to the writing process and sometimes just kinda funny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-from-the-studio","category-writing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylergibb.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylergibb.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylergibb.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylergibb.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylergibb.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tylergibb.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylergibb.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylergibb.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylergibb.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
