Writers life; I was brought in on a troubled TV show (fired Showrunner) as consulting producer. Didn't do very much, good or bad. Then more internal troubles, not to do w/ me, & I was fired after 8 days. I'll be paid out my deal, which means something like $7000/day. Way I 1/5
Look at it, this makes up for those many stories I wrote for The Nation for like $500 each back when I was young journalist or the many short stories I published in lit journals for no money or $200 bucks. Maybe it all adds up as a writer, you're either earning 2/5
a nickel an hour or $1000 an hour. It's just that when you really need the money, the high paying gigs aren't there. They only show up when you don't really need it. But when you're broke, someone will definitely ask you for a piece and offer to pay nothing. My only wisdom: 3/5
you gotta keep going. That's the hardest thing to do as a writer: to just keep going. Keeping going is harder than getting going. Especially when you're not famous, you're not that excited about your own writing & nobody is particularly excited about you anymore. But 4/5
it's a longer life than it seems. There's no rush at all. 5/5 #writerslife #tvwriting
