On ALONE, they dump 10 contestants into the arctic with bears and wolves and no place to sleep or easily obtainable food for a chance to win $500k. On the new WONKA reality show, they get put into a candy factory for a whopping $3 mill. There’s a metaphor here somewhere.

All Marcos asked to leave Hawai‘i as Hurricane Polo aims straight for the remote island chain. (More seriously, I can’t believe we’re all about to go through this again.)

Big network pitch tomorrow. The last for a while. Which is good as I’m all pitched out. But I really love this project. An original idea set in Hawaii. Fingers crossed that I can relay my passion to the execs on the zoom.

I just finished my first short story in years, a high-concept sci-fi love story titled EARTH DAY ZERO. It’s roughly 8000 words long. I don’t know if it’s any good. But I do know that I loved writing something just for myself. I should do it more often.

In that Halcyon period after selling something but before I’ve actually turned anything in and thereby starting the process of being beaten to death by my own dreams, ambition and imagination.

I’m really excited. I’ve been working on all these TV pitches for like 4 mos. But I’ve been sitting on a big idea for a movie I’ve really wanted to write. I’m finally caught up with all my work (for a couple weeks anyway) and can open a new screenplay file. Uncharted waters of the mind, here we go!

So why do I have Wolowitz from the Big Bang Theory as my background on phone? Great question. It started because my two boys (14 and 10) would change my b.g. to their photo whenever they got their hands on my device. To stop this, I first put a photo of their mom. Didn’t work. Then my dog… 1/2

TV writers, please use this thread to introduce yourself. Tell people what level you are. What you write. And if there is a dream staff you’d like to work on right now. I don’t have a huge following on here but who knows? Maybe the right person will see this and give you the boost you need.
