Of course that's your contention. You're a first-time screenwriter. You just got finished readin' some screenwriting guru -- Blake Snyder probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'til next month when you get to Robert McKee — 1/

Self-tape auditions are unregulated and out of control. Reasonable rules and limitations, and access to other casting formats, are sorely needed. #sagaftramembers, a vote YES for a strike authorization is a vote for self-tape regulations. VOTE NOW: sagaftra.org/contracts2023

Early in my screenwriting career, I was insecure, hungover, and a pain to work with. I sobered up & wanted to change my reputation, but didn't know how. Then Craig Mazin gave a talk at the WGA on thriving in development. These are 5 takeaways that helped change how I worked.

After screenwriting for 27 years, I have settled on this process: 1. Pre-Outline 2. Outline. 3. Treatment 4. Screenplay 5. Rewrites I have found this the quickest route to a polished draft. It leaves room for discovery in (3) & (4), with the shortest time in (5).

Us writers didn't fucking get here by accident. We did it through blood, sweat, tears, late nights, early mornings, waiting tables, serving coffee. The AMPTP thinks WGA members won't take day jobs to wait their asses out if they have to? They don't know who the fuck we are.

HOW TO GET LITERARY REPRESENTATION It's the screenwriting question I get asked the most. I've been with five agencies and five managers over 27 years. I have thoughts. It's a process. Yet, when it happens, it happens fast. Here is what I think is the best approach.

Thank you to all my fellow creatives for your inspirations and stories this year. Actors, writers, directors, producers, reps, etc., your words make this business feel less ugh. Also, thanks for the laughs 😁 Show business is my home and there’s no place like…your dwelling.🤔
