Thanks for stopping by! A few things about me. I've been an L.A. local for my whole life, and I spend my days working here at front desk of theOffice. My number one goal here is to fill this blog feed full of things that will motivate and inspire writers, and to give you all an occasional laugh. I'm a lover of science and technology, geek culture, and video games. If anything inspires you as a writer, I'd love to hear about it!

Carlton Cuse and Meredith Averill On Writing

March 10, 2020March 10, 2020Leave a comment

When I saw that they were trying to make Locke and Key... again, I didn't want to hold my breath.

This has actually happened with some of my … Continue reading Carlton Cuse and Meredith Averill On Writing

Academy Award Winners and Nominees 2020

February 13, 2020February 13, 2020Leave a comment

The Oscars are back, and with them a huge list of movies I need to watch! I think it's fascinating what movies rise to the top each year, and important to understand why they were nominated in the first place. I wish I had more to say than that, but I've only seen a few … Continue reading Academy Award Winners and Nominees 2020

Larry David On Writing

February 5, 2020February 5, 2020Leave a comment

One time, as an Development Intern, I was walking down the stairwell and bumped into Larry David. He didn't make much of it, but I was just imagining how he would turn that into an episode of Curb. It certainly wasn't out of the realm of possibility! TV Larry and regular Larry aren't so different … Continue reading Larry David On Writing

The Best Movies of the 2010s

December 19, 2019December 19, 2019Leave a comment

What can I say about the 2010s? So much has changed in the landscape of film... I mean what did we even do before Netflix? We would drive... not even Uber to the movie theaters. Marvel movies were in their infancy with the rise of the superhero movie. Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse showed us that … Continue reading The Best Movies of the 2010s

Leslye Headland On Writing

November 1, 2019January 7, 2020Leave a comment

Every time you think you have an idea of what's going on in Russian Doll the mystery gets deeper. It was one of my favorite shows of the year. If you haven't seen it, the whole fun is the mystery, so maybe come back after you've watched. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHcKoAMGGvY Leslye Headland, creator of Russian Doll, was … Continue reading Leslye Headland On Writing

Jed Mercurio On Writing

October 17, 2019January 7, 2020Leave a comment

I love a good British drama. They're short, but so so sweet. Bodyguard, only running six episodes, will grab you right from the start. It was nominated for "Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series" at the 2019 Emmy Awards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLfLU6-9lxY Where did Jed Mercurio come up with the idea for Bodyguard? How did the lead … Continue reading Jed Mercurio On Writing
