Good morning! Time for TVWriter™’s Monday look at our most popular blog posts of the week ending yesterday. They are, in order:

Networking With Web Series Buyers – @stareable
Our favorite web series site, Stareable, scores again with this very informative column by Alex LeMay. Presented as a homage to the ever-present showbiz reality known as “No mater what your job title, you’re a salesperson!” >sigh<
by Alex LeMay
A lot of you ask me how you get in the room with buyers, so I’ve created a sort of checklist for you to follow. These are things I do every day and it has become a matter-of-course whenever I want to to get my work in front of a busy studio exec or acquisition & development person (the person in a studio who looks for and buys content)
Troy DeVolld on TV Writer-Producer Career Stages

David Perlis: WHO AM I?
by David Perlis
This blog was never supposed to be about screenwriting.
Well, maybe a bit. Because I write screenplays. But when I first created davidperlis.com, my goal was to write wandering David Perlis thoughts, and post David Perlis photos, and talk about David Perlis art and ideas and experiences.
Instead, it somehow turned into a full-force commentary on dramatic structure in screenplays. And I think that explains to a great extent my anxieties and self-doubt and overall directionless feeling these days. By the way, I’ve been filled with anxiety and self-doubt and directionless these days.
Larry David Joins the ‘Late Night’ Writing Staff
Ever wonder what the writers room on your favorite Late Night TV show would be like if Larry David were part of it?
Wonder no more!
NOTE FROM LB: This obviously is LD being LD…and yet it rings so true for every show I ever worked on. And that’s what I love about this biz.
