He wrote the outline, and then rewrote it, under the direction of a producer who was also the wife of the managing producer. He followed her instructions strictly and, when he finished, waited anxiously to hear if he would be hired to write up the story. One usually gets this news very quickly, because hour-long television shows in a series (连续剧) are produced at the rate of one every eight days, and producers start running out of stories after the first few weeks of the season.

Edward de Bone
Lateral thinking (迂回思维 ) , first described by Edward de Bone in 1967, is just a few years older than Edward&39;s son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but the de Bone was so famous, Caspar&39;s parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, his teachers might snap, "Where do you get that idea from ? "
"We had to be careful and not overdo it,” Edward admits. Now Caspar is at Oxford--which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic (诵读困难 ) . In fact, when he was applying to Oxford, none of his school teachers thought he had a chance. "So then we did several thinking sessions, " his father says, "using my techniques and, when he went up for the exam, he did extremely well." Soon after, Edward de Bone decided to write his latest book, "Teach Your Child How to Think" , in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brainstorming businessmen into informal exercises for parents and children to share.
Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence, and everybody knows that children aren&39;t very logical. So isn&39;t it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think ? "You know, " Edward de Bone says, "if you examine people&39;s thinking, it is quite unusual to find faults of logic. But the faults of perception are huge! Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view." "Teach Your Child How to Think" offers lessons in perception improvement, of clearly seeing the implications of something you are saying and of exploring the alternatives.
