This is a great guide to TV writing resources
I need a procrastination project, so you’re getting a #TVwriting resources thread!

Podcast episodes, articles, blog posts (mostly podcast episodes), organized by subject, for as long as I can maintain it.

Off we go...

Really appreciate this piece from @404media.co about how posting isn’t *doing* anything. But instead is the exact opposite: a “pressure release valve to harmlessly dissipate our rage instead of compelling ourselves to organize and act.” www.404media.co/email/343266...

This is a brilliant resource for writers of animation
I maintain a list of every cartoon pitch, writer's bible, production guide, etc. I can find on Archive dot org...! (That site is such an astounding and deep resource)
