Diana Vacc Sees Outlander Season 2 Premier

by Diana Vaccarelli

hbt1Everyone that knows me knows that I’m obsessed with Outlander. And right now my obsessed self is so glad that what Outlander fans call “Droughtlander” is over.

While reading the second book of Diana Gabaldon’s series I had reservations about whether its complexities could be adapted to television.

If you are not familiar with the story, know that it follows WWII Combat Nurse Claire Randall, who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1700’s Scotland where she is immediately in danger. She is forced to wed Scottish Warrior Jamie Fraser and a passionate relationship ignites. read article

Feedly.Com Wants Writers…

FeedlyCapture

…and illustrators and videographers (whatever they are). This leading content aggregation site (hey, everybody at TVWriter™ uses it!) is looking for freelance content creators who “are passionate about your craft and feedly [sic]” and can “create concise content that helps others get the most out of feedly.”

And, it appears that whomever takes on the gig will get something out if it too – like dinero. No, they don’t come out and say so on the site, but their application does have a specific blank for “My rate,” and we doubt that they’re asking just so they’ll know what you won’t be getting paid if they bring you on. (Yeah, we’re asking to get kicked in the teeth with that assumption, aren’t we? Sorry.) read article

by Jane Cui

This is probably not the first productivity article that you have read. You probably have seen countless lists telling you tips like “Don’t go on facebook!” or “don’t check your email!”

But the real key to productivity is not about little tricks or one-day-stints. It’s about working consistently even if you don’t feel like it, or you’re too tired, or you have to take care of children. It’s difficult, but not impossible to create a system for works. You can do it, because these writers (who are human, just like you) have done it. read article

What to Expect if You Move to LA

by Kathryn Graham

If you’re looking to be a television writer, you’ve probably thought about moving to Los Angeles. With its sunshine and its promise of a better tomorrow, it is still the world’s major hub for television and movies. The City of Angels is home to Hollywood, but also hosts a wide range of culture and taste. Space-age glass and metal skyscrapers rise beside adobe homes and modern castles. World famous landmarks stare at graffitied storefronts. It’s like Los Angeles has a perpetual identity crisis, and maybe it should. Its primary export is dreams, after all.

Here’s a few major points about LA that you may find helpful to know. read article
