This is not an industry, or a career, where work can be half-assed. If you choose not to treat this like a professional career, YOU WILL NOT HAVE A PROFESSIONAL CAREER.

You don’t have to travel the world to have a smorgasbord of life experiences. You can have an infinitely rich life—full of fascinating characters, conversations, interactions, adventures, relationships—without ever leaving your hometown.

GET A JOB. Wherever you are… if you aspire to work in film, TV, or entertainment… there’s no reason you can’t make that leap NOW.

Every week, we’ll discuss various issues in the world of TV writing: questions about craft, business news and developments, new shows or pilots, storytelling techniques in reality TV and digital media, you name it. If it concerns a screen smaller than the one at your local multiplex, we’ll talk about it here.
