Brent has a new writing course which is now out! (Link below). It doesn't matter if you missed the first one, you can still join and catch up on previous weeks.

Here's the blurb for the course- "This is the latest and greatest version of my FIVE WEEK class: five 90-minute webinars, Sundays at 2pm PST. If you can't be there live, don't worry, there's a link to watch later. In Class One I encourage everyone to take THE PLEDGE: "I will finish a draft of my script!" Over the following weeks, I lead you through my own 6-part writing process, which I developed over 30 seasons in writers rooms, sharing all my most valuable writing secrets, in the most entertaining way I can. We analyze scenes together, I bring you on screen to discuss your work, and do everything I can to motivate your writing process!"

We chat about his drive to improve and move forward, writing, The Office, The Simpsons, being fired, his mentor Susan Harris, "not having talent", rejection, writers room approach, his new epic course (which is now out) plus plenty more!

The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well (one day after release)!
