The kid who emailed me for career advice the other day sent the identical email to lots of other TV & film writers who’ve got blogs. And we all responded. On our blogs.
We all gave him more or less the same advice. And, in doing so, taught him a couple of other valuable lessons:
1) All writers procrastinate.
2) One of the best ways to procrastinate is to run a blog.
3)
The best way to avoid writing when you have a blog is to answer
questions about being a writer when you are in the midst of avoiding
being one.
Oy gevalt…but hey any advice is good, right?
I’m a writer myself!
What say the tv writers
