I found out yesterday my best friend of 25 yrs unfriended me on FB & IG. She stopped speaking to me last March after a disagreement about something she said about my dad. I tried calling her over 4 months, even 2 days ago. Being adult, it's already hard finding trusted friends.

Shout out to everyone who was out there the whole shift. My mom and dad called me to wish me a happy birthday. Mom asked where I was,
Me: “mom, I’m at the strike!”
Mom: “oh wow, my daughters first picket line. I’m so proud of you.” 😭😭

I definitely pitched this a year after this tweet and my former manager told me to focus on rewriting my tv pilot, and it wasn't a big enough story. Now I got a new manager. Hoping during this time in history, lil' ol' black girl me can re-pitch it.

Currently I’m on set producing the 2nd episode I wrote for tv (yay!). But I’d love to hear other writers thoughts or advice for preparing and being on set.
For me, I’m on location in Budapest and learning how to pivot lines to accommodate location changes

I didn't because I called and left voicemails and texted her. This whole situation triggered the f**k out of me honestly, because another friend I date & told her about, recently did this to me.

It's hard having "best friends" at my age. I wish I could be one of those people that had friends, with an "s" on the end, from elementary and high school. Most of those people never really understood me...all this to say, is this what getting older feels and looks like?

I’m going to say this once & never again. When someone gives you their script & asks for feedback, give them actual feedback. If you can’t write notes for someone, don’t give them notes. Today a fellow writer gave me a 2 paragraph reply, including one of their comments was “huh.”

Before leaving for my first episode, I asked other writers on the show for advice and tips being on set; this was their second season the show. One thing I wished they prepared me for, working with our season regulars to build a rapport, and their habits.
