Skies are blue! Sound off!
I’m Brandon Hoang - tv writer and author
I used to be an animation exec before making the jump to writing
I was staffed on The Ghost & Molly McGee and a TBA show at Nick. Wrote a YA and a MG and have more books coming soon.
Can’t wait to fill your timeline with gifs!

Some of the most talented, credited artists who have worked on the most beloved shows are suffering. What is happening to our little slice of the industry??
Every day I fret and worry about my animation colleagues and friends. This should not be happening! This is not okay!

I had a BLAST talking about my video game nostalgia on DIE OR PASS LEVEL!!
(I promise it’s not all Sonic! It’s a lot of Sonic! But I also talk about Pokemon, Paperboy 64, and Psychonauts!!)

I'm co-host a video game-nostalgia podcast called DIE OR PASS LEVEL that I'm terrible at promoting, but this week's ep is my favorite. I get a real education in Sonic lore??

Louis Sachar’s THERES A BOY IN THE GIRLS BATHROOM. I picked it up on a dare and by the end I was crying so hard my mom kept me home from school.
Funny but snuck in an emotional sucker punch. That way of storytelling became a blueprint for my own writing.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

me with my mother why I’m not staffed
Hearing "why aren't you working for a big studio? Why aren't you directing at your age? You're so good, what do you mean you have trouble finding a job?" gets so tiresome. Thank you for saying I'm a good artist but I don't think that really is the thing that actually gets you jobs anymore 🤷

This week I started a new gig as a school yard teacher for an elementary school nestled in my neighborhood. The job is only four hours a day so I have plenty of time and energy to continue writing.
I'm having a blast! I come home with hilarious stories every day. I'm in my reverse Louis Sachar era.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

everyone is saying how wonderful it is to think about how Cuomo and Trump are crying, shaking with anger, and throwing up at the thought of an immigrant humiliating them tonight BUT lets not forget Stephen Miller!
