Goodreads asked David L. Gurnee:

What are you currently working on?

David L. Gurnee Got an idea in the shower yesterday afternoon (a new stage play - comedy). Never had an idea come into concretion so quickly. Wrote from 2pm to about 10pm last night, and had the whole structure outline, knew exactly what each scene would be about, all characters, and had maybe 50% of dialog written by the time I quit last night. Now I get to have fun with the characters and story, discovering the details. I'm pumped, geeked, or whatever word people are using now days. I'm excited. I think one of the keys to writing comedy is: don't think about what you think will make people laugh, else it will be contrived. But if it really makes you laugh while you are writing, it will probably work for others too. I laughed my butt off, so I hope my approach is right. If not, I'm having a blast.
