The Bitter Script Reader posted some advice about how to survive to move to LA. I tried to comment over there and it won’t let me, but this is what I said. 1) Get settled so that you’re as comfortable as possible — living out of boxes makes everything seem transient. Have roommates or whatever, …

Weekend Recap: Nominate me for Awards!
I am still sick, I have been sick for so so long. I mean, I’m 87% better. Which is to say I’m not totally exhausted but I’m still coughing and my nose is still icky. I finished my course of antibiotics, so I’m guessing there’s nothing to do now but hope. My posting is probably …

PitchQ: Highest rated of November; A winner is me

Nicholl: Google, it’s a manager not spam!
This one went to my Spam Inbox. Oops! Good thing I watch that thing like a crazy person hawk. So, I like the e-mails that ask for more information about me, because that implies more real interest. I don’t understand why they want me to make a special pdf of 20 pages when they could …

Nicholl: Another Apology for the False Congrats
Hi Ashley, As many of you already are well aware, we sent two e-mails to you this morning. The first was a regret e-mail telling you that you did not advance to the Nicholl finals. Sadly, that was the correct e-mail. We’re not sure why our e-mail data base system decided to add your group …
