Nobody ever thinks about the poor early worm who thought he was getting ahead in life.

I’m writing a pilot set in a remote part of Alaska. Does anyone have any music suggestions that fit the region?

Musk wouldn’t be investing 500 million into these midterms if he could just change the votes on the backend. (I hope.)

BREAKING NEWS: Sting has been kidnapped. The Police have no lead.

Screenwriting pro tip: Final Draft users, looking to gain at least a few pages back on your drafts? FD adds an additional unneeded line between scenes. To fix: Go to /Format /Elements /Scene Heading /Paragraph And change “space before” from 2 to 1. That’s it! Your 120 page script is now 115. :)

I woke up at 4:15 am to news that an old horror script of mine might be coming back to life. I also had a cool idea for a new contained thriller. I guess I’m up for the day now.

Dems are fighting fire with… whatever this is.

I’m writing a pilot for XXXX. And while watching THE DIPLOMAT, my wife turns to me and says, “You need to have good scenes like this.” This is AFTER she read the outline.

Guys. Guys. She’s gonna be fine. She can always go back to China and practice law.

I’ve been on a lot of panels where people ask do you have any tricks to writing a good script? Uh, eat a lot of candy while you write? (Yes yes I have an outline due… don’t judge.)

I just got commenced on the most condensed pilot deliverable schedule of my career. That said, beats a two year development cycle. I’ll know my fate before Christmas.

I’m in NYC and I really want to call 311 to report a pothole. But I haven’t seen any!

On today’s SCREAMING INTO THE HOLLYWOOD ABYSS, we interview longtime screenwriter, showrunner and show creator @treycallaway. Tune in for an amazing chat with a top-notch guy! Hollywoodabyss.com/trey

After the merger, do we call it Para Bros?

So we can say these staffers are up Schmitt’s Creek?

Pretty clear that all fraternities need to go. From all the stories I’m hearing, this culture is way too pervasive.

I finally signed the CoA for a new project today and my feature went wide. I haven’t had that happen for years. Fingers crossed we get a bite.

Apple should make a trivia game using all its video screensavers.

On ALONE, they dump 10 contestants into the arctic with bears and wolves and no place to sleep or easily obtainable food for a chance to win $500k. On the new WONKA reality show, they get put into a candy factory for a whopping $3 mill. There’s a metaphor here somewhere.

Inspired by a certain chunky rhythmic world sound I’m hearing in a handful of deep tech tracks, I made a new DJ mix. This is less about the dance floor and more about taking the listener on a global journey of the mind and soul. www.mixcloud.com/noahevslin/d...

Got Covid or a bad case of thr flu this week. To cope I made a new mix. Definitely exploring a new sound. I definitely recommend to anyone who wants to lose themselves for an hour into beats from around the world. www.mixcloud.com/noahevslin/d...

On this week’s SCREAMING INTO THE HOLLYWOOD ABYSS, we have best selling novelist (and so many other things!) John Green on our podcast. Yet even somebody as successful as him has found time to fail. Take a listen to find out how. hollywoodabyss.com/green

All Marcos asked to leave Hawai‘i as Hurricane Polo aims straight for the remote island chain. (More seriously, I can’t believe we’re all about to go through this again.)

Very niche TV writing question: For all the writers who don’t use Courier for studio/network level outlines, what font do you use?

Weird. I have a distinct memory of Dog the Bounty Hunter dying like 8 years ago.

Congrats to the WGA’s newest Board of Directors. They’re leading the ship through very turbulent waters. I wish them all nothing but success.

Big network pitch tomorrow. The last for a while. Which is good as I’m all pitched out. But I really love this project. An original idea set in Hawaii. Fingers crossed that I can relay my passion to the execs on the zoom.

Ice Tea and Ice Cube should pair up to do fresh remakes of Summertime and Hot in Herre.

I just finished my first short story in years, a high-concept sci-fi love story titled EARTH DAY ZERO. It’s roughly 8000 words long. I don’t know if it’s any good. But I do know that I loved writing something just for myself. I should do it more often.

Another hurricane. Yay?

My BIL stumbled into the laundry room before dawn this morning… and came across what I can only presume to be his new roommate.

I’m kind of obsessed with the TV series ALONE. They should do a battle of the champions. Except it literally could go forever.

In that Halcyon period after selling something but before I’ve actually turned anything in and thereby starting the process of being beaten to death by my own dreams, ambition and imagination.

10yo: How did they know that ET didn’t have a peanut allergy?

Turns out, we’re in the Executive Disorder phase of that presidency.

Right now, Dolly is in heaven telling St Peter that he might want to lock the doors behind her. Earth ain’t what it used to be.

Anyone work on an NBC drama in the last five years and would willing to send me a script from their show? Preferably a procedural. Thx!

Somebody famous died recently who I could have sworn was already dead…. (No not Dolly.)

So this morning my breakfast went missing. But I’m pretty sure I have a suspect.

That’s the sound of 93 simulataneous Dolly Parton biopics being put into development all around Hollywood.
