TV Show "Bible"

[DynastyMan2001]

Hello, it's me again and I am now working on my first season of "Clement Hall" and I am trying to get together a show "bible" but don't know where to start. Does anyone know how to put together one and what all should go in it? I saw Soap Talk the other day and a former head writer for a big time soap gave good pointers on how she maintained her writing and the shows' stories. Anyone else have any other ideas? Please DO NOT be afraid to share.

I would have thought the characters' back stories would be a good place to start, and then where you see them developing in the long run.

I am working on that now, but do you know anything else that might help? I did the episode guide for season one already, and I'm gonna start on season two soon. I have the show in my head for four seasons so far and a possible spin-off.

Sounds like you're already there! I guess to make it as detailed as possible is the key. God, as they say, is in the details!
