Sexism and the childless girl; the fascination of truly innocent victims; The Sixth Sense and ER’s influence on creators; the continuum of fakery, and envying that girl who broke her arm at the roller rink; what a good writer does with cases like these; writers’-room crises of the self; would SDB’s childhood clumsiness have gotten her mom locked up?
