When Nathan Bransford offers writing or publishing advice, we listen…and advise y’all (especially prose writers) to do the same. Here’s another reason why, via Nathan’s guest

Greetings writerly people!
I’m fascinated by overthinking. We all do it one way or another and at one time or another.
Mostly I overthink the reasons for scheduling and performing tasks that seem difficult or at best unpleasant. As a writer, I also tend to overthink English language usage, but not nearly as much as Derek Haines has in an article called “A Comma Before Because After a Negative Clause.” that I just read at justpublishingadvice.com.
Ed Asner was an actors’ actor. You name it, he could do it, and probably do it best. Without him, there would still have been a Mary Tyler Moore Show, but we here at TVWriter™ don’t believe for a minute that it would have been the much-acclaimed, uberpopular, multiple Emmy Award winner it was. Here’s Herbie J’s take on a helluva guy.
“I regard myself as a beautiful musical instrument, and my role is to contribute that instrument to scripts worthy of it.” (Ed Asner in a recent interview with author Herbie J Pilato.)
Asner died August 29, 2021, at age 91.
Hey, Ted Lasso isn’t just Larry Brody’s and TVWriter™’s favorite comedy series of 2020 and 2021, it’s pretty much the fave of just about every writer we know. So y’all better watch this, hear? And learn!
The latest in the LATIMES continuing series of articles for all their hopeful subscribers. I keep wondering if more people than ever are coming to L.A. to get into the Industry? Or is it less? Anyone got the figures?
Anyway, this article by Ada Tseng is quite informative, and if you’re a subscriber – or a non-subscriber who hasn’t used up your free reads – you can check it out HERE.
