I love that you have become involved with the Disney+ show. What has the transition been like from writing books to writing scripts?
Rick Riordan
It's very, very different. Script writing is more of a team sport, at least the script-writing that I have been part of so far. Everything you will see is something created by many different minds working together and doing their best to translate the story to screen. I am definitely part of the team, but I cannot take full credit for anything we are writing. I've had a lot of help and learned a lot, but I'm still learning. For example, if you have a character say three sentences in a book, it doesn't feel very long, usually. If you ask a character to say three sentences in a script, it can feel like a huge speech, so you have to pick and choose lines with care! It's been very much like learning another language, which is a challenge I enjoy.
