14 yrs ago I drove across the country to start life in LA . 2 apartments, 1 house, 3 dogs, 4 guys I cared about, a million that I didn’t. placed in a dozen festivals, on my 3rd manager, 1st agent, 2 freelance episodes under my belt. 14 of the most formative yrs of my life.

Please stop allowing a bunch of male writers to circle jerk on young actresses and pretend they’re creating art. This male gaze bullshit masquerading as some fresh take on the abuse of women is abuse in itself.

I think the biggest flaw in television is it makes you believe people get home from work & do things. Like on a Tuesday after work you’d just hang out with friends. In what fucked up world does that exist? After work you take off your bra & it’s suddenly 10pm. We all know that.

I love in movies where a guy gifts a woman a dress to wear that night. Can you imagine what a shitshow that would actually be? You know you won’t have the right shoes, it’s not gonna actually fit, just a disaster from the get go.

Okay. Just hear me out. Put commercials back in. Bring dvd’s back with extras you can’t stream. Make tv profitable again so we can make tv. And whoever is yelling at me in the comments that I’m wrong… cool.

I love people bitching that writers are having “fun” picketing. Bitch did you think the most creative people out there would just walk in circles miserably? Of course there would be themes! Of course there would be songs, chants, and witty signs. It’s what we do!

The hottest LA club is: STRIKE. This club has everything; writers sunburnt by the light of day, distant bathrooms, off site parking where you’ll definitely be ticketed, and a deadline reporter masquerading as WGA who’ll swear we snacked on caviar & the soul of a makeup artist

I came here 10 yrs ago an unemployed single writer fighting to break in. And I’m so proud to say, as I stand on the deck and feel the breeze of this ship sinking, that I’m going under as an unemployed single writer fighting to break in. What a difference a decade can make.

Listen, I get it. We need to explain why we deserve fair pay. But also… why the fuck does a writer need to explain this? That movie you’ve quoted for decades? Someone wrote that. The characters you adore? Someone created them. They should be paid and paid well.

I ended a pilot with the words “moan to black” and I’ll never not be proud of that. FOR HER PLEASURE will be a show, you guys. A sex positive, female driven, breathy and wickedly dark dramedy. And it will be a VIBE. Mark my words. A fucking VIBE.

There is a line in the cyrano trailer where Peter Dinklage says something like “I will make you romantic and you’ll make me handsome” and… I mean, Dinklage is handsome as fuck. The moment I saw him in the station agent I was hooked. In what world is he not hot?

I’ve written to Friends for 20 straight years. I don’t know why. It just happened then never stopped. Every single day I write, it’s to that show. He’s been a voice in the background of most days of my adult life. I’ll never get to thank him. But damn am I thankful.

A while ago I was seeing this guy and he got a job installing light installations at burning man. We were so sad to be apart. He was there 48 hours when he texted that he had done a bunch of drugs & fell in love & had to end it with me. I really hope he went back this year.

The amount of men, yup, ONLY men, that reached out to tell me how to write a warm scene, or explain how filming works is so sad.While I’m on set. Of an episode of tv that I wrote. And it’s not my 1st & it won’t be my last. But preach on, man with no experience. Teach me your ways
Note to self: only write ext scenes when you’re shooting in warm weather.

Shooting my shot… My pilot FOR HER PLEASURE is a female driven dramedy about women taking ownership of their bodies, careers, & futures, based in the world of an early 2000s pyramid scheme selling sex toys. It’s a dark & dirty world w/a darling lead. Prodcos, where u at?

When I got my 1st ep of tv I bought a bed. Some folks gave me shit for being a rather small person and buying a king sized bed. I also spent a fortune on it. As I type this while starfishing on this massive fully mattress yacht I have to admit, best money I ever spent
