Jump Inside the Small Screen

TV, TV and more TV.

Film? Been there, done that. Theater? Apparently 10 weeks is enough. Now it's onto their love child, a lovable little scamp that the world can't resist taking into its living room, and sometimes bathroom- when the moods right. (Or did I mean bedroom? No. No. Bathroom.)

I have to say I've always loved TV with a passion, so I never thought of writing for it because it's my escape in life. I didn't want to lose that. Having said that it's hard not to analysis it now that I've worked so much in the other two mediums. Having this term plunge me right into the heart of it (Soaps) I'm thinking maybe I should think seriously about this.

You can't make a living as a playwright, this has been ingrained into me since I first wrote one in junior high school. It hasn't stopped me from doing it obviously. But I do have other interests (surprise -surprise) such as film and now TV to possibly explore the idea that maybe one day with more work and the right connections (cough - HR2 and her fab new job at the BBC? - no no - we won't harass friends.)

(even though that is what they are there for. Right? Wink. Wink. Nudge. Nudge. ) Anywho not going to lie, it's late and I'm tired but I wanted to share two blog sites I stumbled upon while at lit agency today, in between reading script submissions of course - (it was one of those days where the scripts I got, I didn't know if I should laugh or cry - that's not a good thing people.)

Aspiring Writer
This is a girl working in a agency - lit? and looking to be a TV writer - she's funny and gives a fun look into her new LA world. Having been there done that I feel for her.

Jane Espenson
Jane's at the other end. She really has been there done that and succeeded. She's an old hat at the TV game. But she writes a blog for new writers and it's really funny yet educational.

If I had the talent of the blogger I'd like to write like these chicks. SO enjoy.

PS The pilot of Greek was shown today in little old Britain - a little later then back home but I really got hooked and although the rest of the world's seen what happens it looks like it's summer rerun time for me - oh wait modern times - hello Netflix DVD!
