You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.
You made a difference—so much of a difference.
Rest always in peace, and always in power.

There are a few versions but the formula is always as follows:
Total = 2wks pay per assistant
Showrunner & EPs = most
Upper/Mid-level = drops by level
Staff Writer/SE = least
On one show, we didn't even ask the staff writer to contribute just to buy the thank you cards. If you can, consider this.

This was one of the first tweets I had go "viral" on Screenwriting Twitter many years ago. Here's hoping there will be more writers' rooms opening in 2025 for it to come handy again! 🤞🏼
![A hand holding a notebook with handwritten notes: Fill the gap of the room. Be the sand. Put the show first. Then you'll get thick skin. Don't pitch problems, always support. Be the biggest cheerleader of the show. It's about the showrunner. Think out the pitch; bullet point it. You are an investment. Your pitch doesn't have to be touchdown. Sometime it's the timing, not the idea. Play to your strength, but you have to evolve. Find other/grow strengths. Once you put the show first, you stop thinking about yourself. Don't work from a scared place. Work twice as hard. Do your homework. Be positive. Don't join in on the snarkiness. Keep track of the changes. Then apply on the board. Be open to change. Let things go. Staff superpower: see the story from a completely different way. Don't get hung up on the details. Think about the filmmaking. Always have solutions. Don't be scared to ask for advice. Do you homework: study the showrunner. At the least, your script should LOOK right. Modulate your notes on scripts. Focus on the small ones. It's not your job to fix the big stuff [as the staff writer]. Don't give notes based on how YOU would've written it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4gfbjclhnz23v6beowxhsusc/bafkreihbpb47m7i673wn7u4s5m2o6fp6fqkqwsvcd55oa3etvtlhmbc4pm@jpeg)

A gentle reminder to all my fellow queer parents, after you have given yourself space to live in your feelings.
Get your adoption paperwork in order for the non biological parent(s) so they can't take your kid away when gay marriage falls.

I'm still haunted by this movie years later. Some formative childhood traumas are about to happen all over again because some family is going to sit down with this movie and think, what a cute kid in that pic!
Netflix I'm begging you, has ANYONE on your PR team, any human person at all, watched Grave of the Fireflies? This cheerful promo pic is so wildly misleading, it feels almost reckless.
