Fear of Writing
Oh, we feel it. Man, do we feel it. I’m sweating just looking at this page:

When I was invited to speak to the Living Writer’s Collective in Tennessee a couple of weeks ago, my topic was the Fear of Writing. The subject was enthusiastically received, with several writers sheepishly admitting to me that they suffered from it (and Lord knows I’ve dealt with it off and on throughout my career), so I thought I’d adapt part of my talk here.
I’ve identified two broad arenas that your fears of writing might fall within:
Why All Artists/Creators/Writers/Etc. Should Learn How to Handle, um, Money
Sara Schaefer is an Emmy winning comedy writer who’s about to break big with her own MTV series…but she’s broke. More than broke, she’s burdned with debt. How’d that happen to such a smart, talented Jewish girl?
This documentary is worth seeing not only because it’s entertaining (yeah, funny…really funny) but because it also teaches those of us who don’t have as many credit cards as Sara does what not to do when we, um, do.
Why We Totally Hate HBO’s GIRLS
Yes, it’s true, everybody here at TVWriter™ despises the series GIRLS. We think it’s puerile, stereotypical, and, as Gwen the Beautiful, totally sweet, calm, and secure wife of Our Feckless Leader, LB, puts it:
Nope, sorry, but I can’t watch another episode. The first two have already made me hate myself for being the parent of a 20-something daughter and at the same time totally mistrust her. Is that what television shows are supposed to do?
It’s with that mindset that we went crusing around FUNNY OR DIE.COM and found its GIRLS soulmate – ROBOTS. Many, many thanks, FODC, for making it possible for us to totally hate bots now too!
Why You Should Work From a Coffee Shop, Even When You Have an Office
…And the reason doesn’t seem to be so you can pick up wait persons…(But we hear that’s why munchman does it).
