EDITOR’S NOTE: Trying to get behind the Audio Drama thing we keep talking about on TVWriter™ but knowing what to listen to or where to find it? Here’s a little “Listening Assistant,” found on Imgur by our Audio Drama expert, Bob Tinsley:

This is the first time we’ve seen this particular argument about the FCC’s foolish repeal of net neutrality rules. And in many ways, for this TVWriter™ minion it’s the scariest one yet:
Congress now has less than two months to reinstate net neutrality after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) repealed the Obama-era order.
Knowing what’s going on in the Writers Guild can be helpful in many, many ways, even if you aren’t a member. So, for your edification:
Throughout the years, our Beloved Leader, Larry Brody, has heard a few stories about the complex relationship between Robert Redford and various writers, but this one takes the prize:
It’s not enough he was a great looking guy, a huge
movie star, and an Oscar-winning director? Now he also has to take credit for writing the screenplay of ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN?
Fuck him.
Have you taken time to sit down and consider a logline for your script? Of course you have – presuming you’re writing scripts. And I’d go so far here as to say it’s not a bad idea to consider loglines and how they’re created if you’re a novelist as well. It’s kind of your ‘elevator pitch’.
Everyone is forever in a hurry so I’m going to give some space to what NOT to do when thinking about creating a logline, aka the short pitch if you’re writing other things and want to get a short pithy hook out there to snag an editor or producer.
Producers and Editors are notorious for being in a hurry and expecting a pitch or a logline to grab them all on its own. I don’t blame them really. They’re buried under scripts and manuscripts and meetings and a lot more that we, as writers, don’t think about. Is it so unreasonable to not want to have to slog through even more paper than they already do?
