I met a new writer on the picket line today. I tried to talk him out of asking a famous showrunner who was picketing with us to read his script. When it was clear he was going to do it anyway, I had to walk in the opposite direction and leave him to his own fate. 😬

It's really striking when you start looking at first-time showrunners. If it's a white man, it's like "Oh, you wrote a play? Here's a show to run." If it's a woman or BIPOC, they have to have Co-Ep'd like 10 shows first.

I see a ton of screenwriting twitter making noise like "don't direct on the page," or, "leave that to the actors." Or, my least fave, "It's just a blueprint." Stoppit. A script has to sell all the action and emotion of the story withOUT the awesome work of cameras or actors.

A thing I see quite often missing from up-and-coming TV-writers is ending scenes on the reactions of their star/main characters. It's fine to end on dialogue sometimes, but in key scenes - how does this scene affect them? Don't leave us guessing. IE: OFF Dana, scared.

The worst and most repeated dictate on screenwriting Twitter is “don’t do X because that’s the director/cinematographer/editor/actor’s job.” Gonna let everyone in on a secret:NONE of those people exist when someone first reads your script. So you better make them see/feel it ALL.

Deadline just posted the Oppenheimer script. I wonder how many film students are going to try to write scripts in the 1st person now. And 195 pages long. 🫣

6. ... maybe tell them thank you, but you'd love to take them up on the offer after you've written a couple more. Because (hard truth coming up) if it's the first completed thing you've written, it will 99.9% not be good enough.

We are not at war with our fellow writers. I think Craig Mazin and Mike White are hugely talented and I'd be thrilled to work with either some day. We are at war with multi-national corporations that continue trying to pay less money to fewer people for more work.

Most working writers aren't Spielberg's nephew. But --and here's the hared part for some new writers to swallow -- when most people get a script to someone who can actually hire them, it IS because they "knew someone." But that is not what you think it means.
