LB’S NOTE: One of our fave TV writers-illustrators-screenwriters-vloggers, Stephanie Bourbon, has something important to say about – gasp! – social media. Don’t panic and run away. Keep reading!
This week I’m talking about what social media you MUST have if you are a writer. Okay, maybe not a must have, or a should have but both of these could really help you grow your business as a writer.
Time now for a few words about our ongoing lockdown. Some people were sure it would be a major benefit to TV and screenwriters. How’s that working for us so far?

The melodic opening theme music. The movie-stars-turned-sitcom-mom-and-dad. Dragnet meets Father Knows Best. One of TV’s first dramedies. Opie Taylor before Richie Cunningham.

EDITOR’S ALERT: Like it says above, a world of SPOILERS awaits below the thin red line. Oh and also an assumption that you’re familiar with the MCU!
There’s a lot of commentary on all the Disney+ MCU shows, and most of said commentary is coming from the ‘geek in the trenches,’ comparing comics stories to their filmed counterparts, etc. Well, this ain’t that.
I’m here for the story and craft of writing, and who better to learn from than the folks at Marvel; currently the most successful franchise in all of filmed entertainment history. The plan is to use the show to discuss writing mechanics and character, while hopefully still enjoying the process of watching the show for its (so far) superb entertainment value.
