So, I made a TikTok about how we need to be talking more about #freework in #screenwriting. Then it came to my attention that… a lot of people don’t know what a rewrite is, or how one-step deals work. So I did a basic breakdown! #wgastrong #wgastrike tiktok.com/t/ZTRK7gcQx/ Here’s the original video. I stand by it! We need to be talking more about feature issues, even if they aren’t buzzy like AI or mini-rooms or minimum staff sizes. tiktok.com/t/ZTRK7qHdr/

As a staff writer, I got to produce on set (2014 y’all). In a props meeting, I was asked if a bullet casing should be brass or silver-y. There was a plot point where the bullet wasn’t where it was expected to be due to the gun being mounted on an airborne drone… #WGAStrong (1/3)

The props team liked how the silver casing looked, but I knew the story inside and out and said we had to use the brass, as silver would’ve stood out in the grass/fall foliage and someone might’ve found it.

On-set producing is writing. Our presence is important. (2/3) #WGAStrong

So, you're been seeing a lot of stuff from TV writers on Twitter thanks to #WGAStaffingBoost & #WGASolidarityChallenge, as broadcast staffing season kicks into high gear. But what is staffing season? And why does it seem like it is LITERALLY THE WORST? A thread. First, a disclaimer. This is about writers trying to get staffed. Showrunners and creators have a whole other pit of despair and anxiety to deal with (focus groups, network screenings, trying to meet all of us and not being able to hire everyone they want bc budgets).
