Donald Trump is David Koresh

I know this shit is boring at this point. Who cares about how crazy that man is, and how terrible he is as a person. But I watched the Waco doc on Netflix, and the first time we see David Koresh, he is on videotape at a prayer service, with lots of the Branch Davidian’s, and he talks about how there are 150 psalms in the Bible, and then he says something like, “Some people think it’s amazing that I know all of them.”

And it just hit me, as I was watching, how similar that is to something the former and never again president would say. Not a statement or a brag about how he knew something, but a brag about how other people found his level of knowledge amazing- the implication being it’s not something he’s just saying about himself that you can’t argue with, and you might as well also be amazed.

So many people think it’s amazing that I can type. Thank you Mavis Beacon!

How to Rewrite a Script (and make it BULLETPROOF)

People ask me about re-writing scripts all the time, so I’m doing a workshop about how to do it. Here is all the info:

Bulletproof: Writing is Re-Writing

In this workshop students will rewrite the most recent draft of a pre-existing pilot script they’ve written based on their own original idea. All aspects of the process will be covered, such as solving story problems, crafting dialogue, punching up jokes, and simplifying. The class will be run as closely to a real writers' room as possible, with feedback from all students encouraged, as this is part of the actual sitcom writing process. Students will walk away with an additional set of tools to help them take their writing to the next level.

What you have is good. Keep making it better, until it’s bulletproof.

Workshop size is limited, and it meets for 4 sessions Cost is $300.

TIME: Wednesdays, 6-9 PM PST. On Zoom.

DATES: November 8, 15, 22, 29
