It is really hard being a writer these days. The industry is getting tougher all the time. You can REALLY help authors and books you love by talking about them. Word of mouth is real magic, your voice matters, it's never too small. Share your enthusiasm for books you love. And THANK YOU.

Our strike was necessary. Our strike was effective. Our strike is a victory. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, it’s ‘cause they never want to see us stand up for ourselves again. Don’t believe it. We won this fight. We’re the WGA, and when we fight, we win. #WGAStrong

I'm preWGA, but the opportunities I've had have all come thru someone recommending me. And any time I've had a chance to recommend others, it's been a delight to be able to do so. All of this came thru reading peer scripts. It's one of the best ways to both learn & make writer-friends. #scriptsky

Due to unforseen circumstances, my current agents have sadly had to shut down. This means I'm once again looking for representation. If you know of an agent or manager who might be looking to take on a passionate and dedicated writer, please let me know!

A pivotal moment is upon us. It’s time to shake the pillars of heaven. Time for them to hear us roar like never before. Time to show beyond a shadow of a doubt that we will not accept a deal one iota less than we deserve. On day 144, show them what the #WGA is made of!

The #WGA Negotiating Committee continues to bargain with the AMPTP and call on all who are able to join the picket lines on Friday, Sept. 22, day 144 of the strike.

Personally I think you should never give a child a plant name, like Lavender or Almond, because what if they turn out to be allergic.

If you’re considering a writing “coaching” service, please have the contract reviewed by a lawyer or at least run it by someone sensible who isn’t emotionally invested. I just read one where the company was apparently charging $720 PER HOUR with a one-year commitment and no refunds.

Then: “Rejected our proposals, refused to counter.” Now: “Last Friday, 102 days after they walked away from the bargaining table and put us out on strike, the AMPTP offered responses to our proposals in all work areas.” Solidarity works. #WGAStrong

WGA CONTRACT 2023
DEAR MEMBERS,
Last Friday, 102 days after they walked away from the bargaining table and put us out on strike, the AMPTP offered responses to our proposals in all work areas. We met this week and continued to exchange proposals. We will continue to meet next week.
Thank you for the many messages of support and solidarity as we talk with the AMPTP. As always, be skeptical of rumors from third parties, knowing that the Guild will communicate when we think there is something of significance to report.
IN SOLIDARITY, WGA NEGOTIATING COMMITTEE

Just this once… read the comments.

$Comment from a Deadline article: “Exhausted Studio Exec on August 17, 2023 4:21 pm Honestly on the studio side, most execs know the WGA demands are reasonable. Yes, even minimum staffing. It's a small small fraction of overall budgets. There are some annoying things about it but overall it's fine. It's clear at this point the Writers Guild will prevail in what it wants. Time to wrap this up. It's up to the CEOs now.”$

If you are a writer I want you to fail. I want you to fail and fail again. I want you to fail as hard as you can. Then I want you to get back up, dust yourself off, and then not fail. I want you to not fail as hard as you can. And then I want you to thrive. So go out there and fail your ass off

New folks in the feed this week, so should say that I don't talk about how to get rich or make it in the industry. I talk about writing. Success for each writer is defined by them and them alone. But if you learn, and write, and fail, and learn from that, you WILL write something worth reading.

Many of us will know pre-WGA screenwriter Jonathan Melikidse. Despite some hairy moments, he and his family have survived the fire on Maui, but they've lost their home and all their possessions. I know we're all kinda broke right now, but if you can help them get back on their feet, please do...

Jon is a wonderful husband, father, and active member of the screenwriting and film community. And he needs our help after losing his home in the Lahaina fire earlier this week. If you can spare something, please do. @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com would you be kind enough to help amplify this?

If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it might be that you haven't yet made the most of its design. It's different from Twitter in some key ways so you have to interact differently. I'm writing these tips below from my non-techy perspective, techies please weigh in if I get things wrong:
