Been thinking about this all day. I honestly can’t get over it. A few thoughts after a long day on the picket lines: Set aside whatever feelings you have about reality shows for a minute. I’m just gonna talk about the business and what this ridiculous✌🏾schedule✌🏾 seems to represent.

Since I have a few minutes, I want to speak to my fellow TV writers out there who endured yet another staffing/upfronts season and unfortunately did *not* land a staff job. Here we go. First, I’m gonna assume you did everything you were supposed to do. You wrote a killer pilot (maybe more than one), you aced every meeting, and you got great feedback on those meetings from your reps. And yet. No gig.

If I may be so bold, I’m gonna add a little something to @bergopolis’ thread about staffing season. One of the things that rarely gets talked about is the sense of sheer terror that happens when it seems all your writer friends are getting meetings and you’re not.
