averagejoeproductions replied to your post: BOOM! That’s fantastic! How did you score those two opportunities? I wish you much success!!! :)
Well, one of them came through my school. They put out a script list, and a producer read my pitches and requested them.
The other one came cause a friend passed along my resume. Which is AWESOME AND A HALF!

OKAY… HULK NOT GOING TO GET BIG INTO THIS, BECAUSE IT GOING BE UPCOMING COLUMN, BUT WRITERS, BOTH MALE AND FEMALE, HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB WITH HOW THEY PORTRAY WOMEN. THEY JUST DO. THE CULTURE OF WOMEN IN FILM IS IN BAD, BAD WAY RIGHT NOW.

Specifically for television comedy. Any book suggestions, personal experience, helpful information etc. would be very much appreciated.
Well, what sort of tv advice do you want? I have tons and have access to even more.

And today writerLyn feels incredibly proud of...
Today, I made my own bath product.
I know, nothing to do with the film industry, or my favorite fandoms, or even anything remotely related to writing, but I made a bath product, and I feel inordinately proud of myself.
Weird fact about myself: I am a little bit of a soap snob. Like I said, weird fact.

writing questions for writers who write
gyzym:

averagejoeproductions said: Good luck! Are you primarily going into TV or film? I’d like to do both but I’d REALLY like to have a TV career. ”
I like writing TV much more than I like writing film, but my two things that are optioned are, well, Movies.
I’m also attempting to start a career as a TV lit agent, but that’s not quite started yet.
