I just finished the last of 7 pitches this week for two different TV projects. While preparing 4 other projects to launch soon. Also woke up at 4:30 am every day to surf. Because a man’s gotta have hobbies. Stick a fork in me.

Two different pitches today.
Both based on the life rights of amazing humans who did amazing things.
One features an undercover cop who took down his own mob family in Miami. 400 arrests in all.
The other about the creator of a wilderness medical program. Extreme medicine in extreme conditions.

Just got a 3am text from a producer with “middle of the night thoughts” on a pitch.
Love the excitement. But email is your friend. And timezones.
Also got sent an unsolicited script from somebody I barely know asking me to get project to “X big name actor.”
1/10. Don’t recommend.

I asked my 9yo son if he’d ever want to do my job (tv writing).
9yo: Parts of it seem fun.
Me: Oh yeah? Which parts?
9yo: The parts where you eat a lot of candy and walk around your office mumbling to yourself.

I miss Hollywood. Over the 20yrs I’ve been in the game, I went from unpaid intern to PA to staff writer, all the way to Co-EP on other people’s shows and EP on things I develop.
This used to be a job filled with so much hope and promise.
And when it paid off, there was nothing better. And now? 🤷🏻💔☹️

On today’s SCREAMING INTO THE HOLLYWOOD ABYSS, we had a lovely chat with Australian writer, director, showrunner and show creator Nick Verso (INVISIBLE BOYS).
Take a listen. You’ll be glad you did. (And if you’re wondering, yes, we have the exact same hair.)

Thanks, Paul. The book is about the connection between a common pesticide and chronic illness. Check out if that’s your jam! (Also why you should eat organic if you can.)
My Pal @nevslin.bsky.social dad is fighting the good fight. He also wrote a book, you should read, I am.

Japan, the cleanest country I’ve ever seen, has literally no trashcans anywhere.
America, the dirtiest developed nation in the world, has trashcans literally everywhere.
There’s a lesson to be learned here. I’m just not sure what it is.

I miss being in a writer’s room. I came really close to opening one of my own a few weeks ago. But like Sisyphus before me, I got right to the edge of the cliff, before my rock rolled all the way back down to the bottom.
So I must start again. Pushing. Striving. Never yielding.

SCAM ALERT: Seems like there’s a scam going around where a New York agent contacts a self-published writer and tells them that somebody wants to turn their book into a movie but they need a script first.

The WGA earnings report is out and employment is down roughly 30% since the strikes (and related industry contraction). Not great. To say the least.
