When that plan didn’t work out he went to college instead, earning a bachelor of science degree in journalism from Texas A&M University. A year in the news business only increased his fascination with making stories up for a living, so he tried a few other genres: horror, thriller, historical fiction: when a script he wrote for Star Trek: The Next Generation earned him a chance to pitch ideas for the show.
