Happy 4th of July!
And party too!

It’s the 4th of July
This song by X always makes us feel like we’re celebrating. And, all in all, that’s a very good thing. Enjoy the holiday! The barbecue! The lights that fill the sky!
TV WRITING: Your First Years In The Writers Room
by Kelly Jo Brick
From finding representation to landing the first staff writing gig and navigating the writers’ room, everyone’s path to breaking in is different. The Writers Guild Foundation brought together Polina Diaz (FULLER HOUSE), Kay Oyegun (THIS IS US, QUEEN SUGAR), Robert Padnick (THE OFFICE, MAN SEEKING WOMAN) and Britta Lundin (RIVERDALE) to talk about the highlights and challenges of their first years writing for television.
WRITING THE SCRIPT TO LAND YOUR FIRST JOB
Write the script you’re really scared to write, because it’s probably the one most personal to you and will resonate the most with other people. It doesn’t matter if nobody’s going to buy it or it’s too expensive. Just write what you want to for your sample.
Larry Brody’s Poetry: ‘I Wish I Had Loved As I Was Loved’
by Larry Brody
NOTE FROM LB
Short and bittersweet, or so many people may say. But if “art” means being totally honest in one’s work, then this is my acme of artistry. (Or maybe just my bad imitation of wisdom gained by reaching an unexpectedly old age?)
I Wish I Had Loved As I Was Loved
I wish I had loved as I was loved.
I wish I had returned all the fire.
But I was desperate for ten thousand wrong things,
And they were all that could feed my desire.
