Given the times we live in everyone needs a go-to plan for what to do if someone (or the government) forces you to sign something you don't agree with.

As Passover begins, I am reposting my open letter to Elon Musk. I wrote it in response to his attacks on me and his suggestion that I suffer from “generational trauma.” It has been the most viral piece I have ever written and I continue to be moved by the positive feedback.

Dear TV writers, The Writers' Guild of America West released their employment analysis of the 2023-2024 year and it's... pretty damn bleak. Almost half of available staffing positions disappeared in a year. This sucks. But also? This means it's not JUST you.

It's not just you, it's objectively a terrible time to find work as a writer in TV. 37% fewer TV jobs, that's 1,319 fewer employed writers. I wish I had some wisdom to offer to give you an uplifting pep talk but I can't think of anything at the moment.

When I worked on The Office, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg “Are we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a little thread on them… 🧵1/X #Scriptsky #Screenwriting
