Started writing my new single-camera sitcom pilot today. I came up with the premise last year but thought of a new angle recently that makes it unique.

Can’t wait to see where this goes.

When I worked on #TheOffice, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg “Are we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a 🧵 on them…

There’s some shared DNA there, but it’s a very different show in many ways.

I will say that it combines the heart of The Office with the absurdity of 30 Rock, along with a third very unexpected influence that I can’t share yet.

Posted my It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia spec script on Reddit.

The responses:

-“Hilarious.”

-“Insanely good. This would make a classic episode.”

-“You nailed it.”

-“I could’ve sworn this was an actual leaked script from an upcoming episode.”

Anybody want to read it?

Found out my IMDB profile wrongly linked a negative news article to me, because it happened to mention (non-negatively) the Bollywood actor with the same name.

I’m an American screenwriter who lives 10,000 miles away from India. 🤦‍♂️

IMDB can’t tell the difference between us: 😂

I haven’t. I should check it out.

Rewatched this 97-year-old classic on Buster Keaton’s 130th birthday. Simply insane action set pieces, especially for that era and with the technology available.

And somebody on Letterboxd accurately called it “Mad Max: Fury Railroad”. 😂

Great week of movies. A classic comedy, a new comedy, and my first two Abbas Kiarostami films.

Loved this movie. Packed with jokes and gags, most of which weren’t in the trailers. I had to rewind so many times to catch all of them. 🔥

Finished my spec script for It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia in 9 days! 😎

My first TV spec and my first attempt at pure comedy instead of mixing it with other genres.

I self-published three books, one of which was picked up by a small publisher. Let me know if you need any advice.
