Hey Scribe Tribe! Thanks for joining our first bottle episode as one host flies solo this week. Curious to find out who? Well tune in to find out! 

First drafts are tough (and so are second drafts, third drafts... you get the idea). But a "vomit draft" can help you work through a creative jam or maybe even writer's block. Find out more about vomit drafts, bottle episodes, and the latest news (e.g. Disney and Nickelodeon writers fellowships are back, the latest on the SAG-AFTRA strike) in this week's episode.
