SO, some news...
I landed my first TV writing gig on a yet-to-be-announced Disney show.
Yesterday was my first day in the writers’ room.
I used to race home from school to watch Disney Channel and now I’m helping MAKE one of their shows.
I’m... 😭 LITERAL DREAM COME TRUE

This. Stop saying writers in Hollywood have no ideas.
Writers have more ideas than ever because of all the new voices that weren’t let in before.
Studios don’t wanna “chance” it with bold, daring, brilliant ideas.
Because they don’t care about stories they care about profits.
Guys you have no idea about the scripts I read. It’s my job. Heartbreaking dramas. Wildly funny comedies. Groundbreaking sci fi. Diverse voices. Amazing love stories. Biopics of fascinating people I’ve never heard of.
