We were going to wait until Christmas to post this video, but the big boss man (Yeah, we’re talking about LB) want to make sure it didn’t get lost in what he calls “Surplus Christmas Madness.”
So right here, right now, we’re bringing you an extraordinary video by an extraordinary writer, director, actor, producer, editor and on and on and on. Take it away Ms. Hackett!
More from and about Kate Hackett:
There’s no getting around it. This is how I feel sometimes a lot of the time occasionally pretty much all the damn time!

It appears that the Writers Guild of America and Creative Artists Agency have finally agreed on terms that will allow CAA to represent members once more.
Welcome back to the fold, CAA. Glad that you saw the error of fucking around and got serious about being in business with the best writers in the world at last.
TVWriter™’s all-time favorite artist/philosopher, Grant Snider, explains the writer’s place in the theatrical/showbiz scheme of things. He’s right, of course.

This excellent article presents a very interesting – and new – way of regarding that old bad boy of writing – Writers Block.
Ideal with writers’ block several times a year, usually in the form of other people’s writers’ block. Specifically, I find myself every year with a few students trying and failing to write their stories for class. Teaching creative writing inside of a liberal arts institution means putting creativity on a clock — the quarter or semester — and over the 25 years I’ve been teaching writing, I’ve learned my blocked students are usually high-achieving young people who are used to being able to power their way through a paper, get the answers, get the grade and move on. Fiction writing doesn’t really work that way.
That said, we know clocks can work. To wit: the number of people who say they thrive on a deadline.
