“Saw an oil slick in the road that reminded me of that joke we had one time, anyway who’s hiring?”
Writers sending in a “checking in” email like “hey happy national cheesecake day haha anyway while I have you I thought I’d check in since it’s been a year but no rush and actually I’ve decided to fake my own death so you don’t even need to respond haha have a great week!!!"

1 for proofing, 5 for “the decisions”
Replying to @Chris_Grosse

If your characters don’t believe something is a threat, why should the audience?
This came up so I want to say why it works in a writerly sense to sell the fantastical. (yes foreshadowing but) Alan is grounded. He uses a tactile raptor claw. Describes a real hunting pattern. A real creature. By the time you see a CGI raptor later, you already believe in it.

One Showrunner I worked with allowed three per script— MAX — and said it was three in case you needed to use all three at once.

My last week as a SC was “Hoody Week”, a sad fashion show featuring a macabre back catalogue. And Galavant.
Funny thing about TV work: you’ll have the worst job ever and at the end they give you a sweatshirt to remember the experience. You SHOULD throw it away but it’s usually a pretty nice shirt from a brand you can’t afford so it’s forever just this cursed piece of maddening laundry.

The ones I was set to staff on.
What TV show got cancelled that you’re still mad about?

Staff Writers who have been on the assistant track stand a far better chance of succeeding due to familiarity with the job and understanding of the role.
