January 24, 2008 Iunno
If you have a kid, or know a kid, somewhere between the ages of 12 and
17, you know that when they don’t know the answer to a question, they
don’t say "I don’t know." They say, "Iunno..."

January 17, 2008 Good Agentry
True story: A writer in his late 50's, who hadn't worked in a long, long time, but
who at one point was well-paid and in-demand, found himself facing what
we'll call Typical Hollywood Career Ending Number 3: private school and
college tuitions paid, barely; 401k plan ransacked; home equity tapped;
savings dwindling; cars, one; supermarket, Ralph's; area code 661...

January 03, 2008 Lazy
I was once stuck in a writers room with a really lazy writer. And no, that's no redundant. And no, it wasn't me. I mean, yes, I am a lazy writer, but no, I'm not that lazy writer...

December 27, 2007 The Money Is Important
I was talking to a writer yesterday about the need for writers like us

December 13, 2007 Solidarity
I'm going to get in trouble for this. But, anyway. Let's be honest. If you're a writer, or a writer/producer, or any of
the constellation of hyphenates that means that along with what you do
that really brings in the dough, you also are a member of the Writers Guild, you've been on a movie or TV set before...

December 06, 2007 Continue Trading
I have a friend who, years ago, was an assistant to a big agent at a
big talent agency. Assistants like that do something called "rolling
calls," that is, they run through their bosses call sheet – the people
she needs to call back, the people she wants to call her back, and the
most crucial set, the people she needs to call right now...

November 29, 2007 Three-Bean Salad
I know two guys who make three-bean salad. A few years ago, they pooled
their money, bought a small machine that fills jars, and they went into
the three-bean salad business...

November 22, 2007 How Long Is This Going to Last?
I was joking around with a friend of mine -– a fellow writer on strike
-- a few days ago. He hurt his leg a week or so ago, so I sent him a
text message. "Hey, haven't seen you on the picket line. Hope your leg
is okay, and it didn't SCAB over." And I put "scab" in all caps. I was
kidding, of course...
