I just finished the last of 7 pitches this week for two different TV projects. While preparing 4 other projects to launch soon. Also woke up at 4:30 am every day to surf. Because a man’s gotta have hobbies. Stick a fork in me.

Yes of course. And no you didn’t message me. I just don’t know if I remember what I posted back then.

Two different pitches today.
Both based on the life rights of amazing humans who did amazing things.
One features an undercover cop who took down his own mob family in Miami. 400 arrests in all.
The other about the creator of a wilderness medical program. Extreme medicine in extreme conditions.

Insomnia is not. Then seeing a text come in. Then checking that text because you think it’s an emergency. Then perseverating on what they said even though totally not pressing.

No I think people should send scripts to actors through the proper channels.

The only correct way is to throw the script over the celebrity’s wall with a $1000 gift card to Pink Berry.

For the latter, there’s a thin line between shooting your shot and pissing off the person you’re emailing.
Actually, scratch that, there’s no line at all.
Don’t send unsolicited scripts. Don’t ask people you don’t know to risk relationships (that they might not even have).

Just got a 3am text from a producer with “middle of the night thoughts” on a pitch.
Love the excitement. But email is your friend. And timezones.
Also got sent an unsolicited script from somebody I barely know asking me to get project to “X big name actor.”
1/10. Don’t recommend.

This was actually a paid development deal with somebody from the special forces community. I spent the last 6 mos researching that world before I started writing and in the process it completely transformed my opinion of Green Berets and Operation Enduring Freedom.

Logline: After a deadly ambush in Afghanistan exposes a possible traitor inside the chain of command, a decorated Green Beret must testify before Congress — but as his story unfolds, so does a buried conspiracy that threatens to unravel everything he fought to protect.
Genre: Military thriller.

I asked my 9yo son if he’d ever want to do my job (tv writing).
9yo: Parts of it seem fun.
Me: Oh yeah? Which parts?
9yo: The parts where you eat a lot of candy and walk around your office mumbling to yourself.
