Substack just ranked Hollyweird #6 in Rising Film & TV. Which means now is probably a good time to explain what it actually is. I’m a working studio screenwriter — and I write a free weekly newsletter about what this career really looks like. Once a week. Free. Link in profile.

Here's what my current development slate looks like, if we're only looking at the "active" projects. Meaning, things I could expect to get an email about this week. How many things are "active" right now? I'd say 8-9. Is that sustainable? I don't think so!

really wish I’d given my AMC A list profile photo a little bit more thought considering it’s a blurry picture of me looking annoyed that I needed to add a picture and I’m not allowed to update it

I never need to be notified about updated terms. I will agree to any terms your service wants. If you are an app or website and have new terms: I do not care what they are. You could tell me I owe you my firstborn. I agree. Yes. Thank you. Step on me daddy website.

An email from paramount + notifying me about their updated terms which I will NEVER read :)
