On today’s episode of The Write Start my guest is Cindy Begel and I have to admit that I decided to do this episode purely for selfish reasons because this episode focuses on becoming a television and movie writer and not becoming a typical print journalist -- what I really focus on here. I still think that any writer can learn, and be inspired by, Cindy so I hope you'll listen.

Cindy Begel is a television writer-producer who has worked for the legendary Garry Marshall and Norman Lear. She’s worked on many classic prime time hit shows, including some of my favorite TV shows ever --  Mork & Mindy, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, The Jeffersons, Head of The Class, Alice, and The New Leave It To Beaver. She has also written for The Martin Short Show, and Mama’s Family. She created/wrote all 52 episodes of the animated series The Kids From Room 402. She wrote feature films for Paramount and Universal Studios. 

Cindy has some great stories to tell including her chat with Lucille Ball, dinner with Carol Burnett, making Robin Williams laugh and more!
