Oh, lord, SO different.  In TV you spend most of your time in a room with other people, pitching stuff out loud and laughing all day, and for a book it’s just you by yourself staring at your computer screen.  I’d co-written a Family Guy book with Alex Borstein before (or was writing it at the same time…I can’t really remember the time frame), but writing a novel was really different.  I kind of tackled it vaguely like a TV script though…like I had a loose outline of what would happen in each chapter, so there was a roadmap to follow as I was writing it.

You can read the rest of the article here, again its a really good read…even for dudes.
