I'm a screenwriter... showrunner...dad... playwright...mad-ass progressive...big over-user of ellipses.. and...well...you get the gist. #BLM. He/him. #Film #Television #Screenwriting #Dlysexia :)
Trying to figure out what to start at this worthy place that's not the birdsite. What would be most helpful and interesting to the growing group of writers? Tell me.
So many lives shattered and for what?
America's National Pastime is actually complaining about things NOT getting nominated.
There is a super dark movie where someone like George Santos stumbles on proof of an impending catastrophe and tries to warn people, but no one will believe him because he’s George Santos and everyone dies in the end.

Showrunner Rule #254: Goal is to deliver the show at budget # — one cent. Over is bad. Under is bad. Don’t use, you lose it going forward.

Showrunner Rule #255: If you try to anticipate notes, what you’ll get is sludge. Suddenly you’re breaking story with the aim of avoiding something. Don’t worry about them or what they might think or what their notes MIGHT be. Just ask, what’s interesting and what comes next.

Showrunner Rule #251: Lots of depts promoting your show, some of which may not know what’s up in writers room. Watch/read EVERYTHING.

Showrunner Rule #252: Be there for last catered meal of season. They serve the best food… so you’ll remember & rehire for next year. :)

Showrunner Rule #253: At end of episode pitch, you should be able to easily identify 3 scenes that will comprise the “trailer”.

The knowing of what product is utterly dispositive of your age…and why is the answer ShamWow?
These people are so busy tripping over their ignorance as illustrated by fact that all Shakespeare’s women’s roles were played by men. So the push to ban any performance where men dress like women would mean Shakespeare’s entire cannon is now “grooming”.
