Who are you and what do you write?
—
My name is [Brian](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_K._Vaughan) and I mostly write comic books like [Saga](http://www.imagecomics.com/comics/4620/Saga-1), though I sometimes slum it in [film and television](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1592205/). Most recently, I wrote a pilot adaptation of Stephen King’s awesome [Under the Dome](http://www.amazon.com/dp/1439148503/?tag=johnaugustcom-20) for Dreamworks and Showtime.
Where and when do you write?
—
I leave my beautiful house and family every morning to write in a cheap flophouse apartment that I rent nearby. My favorite time to write is from midnight to 8am, but now that I have kids, I usually write from 9 to 5, like an average nobody. Like a schnook.
What software do you use?
—
[Final Draft](http://www.finaldraft.com/) for film and TV, and I just switched to the Mac program [Pages](http://www.apple.com/iwork/pages/) for prose and comics. It’s approximately one billion times better than Microsoft Word.
What hardware do you use?
—
An older MacBook Air and steno notebooks from Staples.
What (if anything) would you change?
—
About life? Less genocide, I guess. Everything else seems pretty nice.
