Works in Progress Experiment... I'm gonna try some fun writing sprint exercises in W.I.P. section this weekend. Will go from Idea->Title->Outline->Completed 1st Draft Pilot. Follow along and watch me fail (or succeed).

Favor Request: I just dropped into W-I-P a writing sample I was thinking of using to approach tv lit agents. If you have 10 minutes, can you read and let me know thoughts? Happy to provide feedback on others' projects as well.

Great article on why This is Us is doing well, Nielsen-wise http://www.vox.com/2016/11/29/13769520/this-is-us-ratings-nbc

Looking for action/thriller spec ideas? Follow @LAScanner on twitter. Plus, paints a pretty accurate picture of LA if you're planning to move here.

2014 Hit List Recommendation: Remember by Benjamin August. It's slow and understated, but worth the journey.

A lot of great screenwriting lessons can be gleaned from the musical Hamilton. Worth a listen on Spotify -- especially "My Shot"

I'm starting to sound like a TBS flack, but I'm really loving Search Party. This + People of Earth are right in my wheelhouse.

Fall network tv season officially starts today. I'll start a section in chit-chat in case anyone still has a TV that gets those channels.

Is El Mayimbe serious that there are two "making of Godfather" specs floating around out there? https://twitter.com/elmayimbe/status/646541768935129088

There's a lot you can learn about serialized tv writing -- and how important "incident" is -- just by reading this timeline of stuff that's happened on This is Us http://www.vulture.com/2018/01/this-is-us-chronological-timeline.html

Every time someone hits "Reply All" on a TB email, it validates the rest of the country's assertion that Hollywood is full of morons.

Do you get notes saying your dialogue doesn't sound real? Read and learn from transcripts. I'm reading this FBI one of leaker Reality Winner, which is getting turned into an Off-Broadway play soon! https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000015e-c5e7-ddab-a57f-cfe7d5b50002

I'm really enjoying the Off-Screen Podcast. Two intelligent guys summarizing & reviewing some of the most notable spec scripts that have sold in recent years. http://www.ospodcast.com

I wrote a rambling, self-indulgent, reddit-esque post in Chit Chat about why I hate the Hit List and the Black List
-
Any 2015 Hit List/ Black List scripts outside of the Top 10 really good and worth reading? Thanks in advance for suggestions.
-
Today I'm watching Black Mirror while getting my work done. I wonder what ratings a US version would get?

A very long but insightful read on the newest film studio, STX Entertainment http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/01/11/the-mogul-of-the-middle

The editors of Making a Murderer deserve a lifetime achievement Emmy.
-
Looking for a BL script to read? I suggest FLOWER. Not commercial at all, but makes some bold choices and constantly impresses/surprises.

I'm not sure how this site exists, but this link will take you to transcripts of a ton of current shows: http://transcripts.foreverdreaming.org/

Just started following Modern Family writer Danny Zuker on Twitter (@dannyzuker). He really captures Billy Wilder's stolen quote: "A tip from Lubitsch: Let the audience add up two plus two. They’ll love you forever." Plus he's good with Vine.

Some examples of his where you the reader get to add up 2+2:
I just watched a 15 year old girl who was busy texting walk into a light post and I am no longer an atheist.
The quality of the gifts I get my family when I'm away is proportional to how poorly I behaved. They're all getting cars. #ByeSydney
The most disturbing thing I ever found on my son's computer was an empty history folder.

that looks fun!
im real excited to be coming up with a screenplay. so what if i can't write a novel.
a girl told me she love guys with glasses. she says it makes them look hot. i thought she meant shot glasses. #vision impaired
pregnant teenagers have to decide whether or not to keep or give up their baby at such a young age. that's a huge decision. is it bad that at 39 i still can't decide if i like pepsi or coke better? #save that one for 2026
