the internet and me were on a break (sorry).
Oh, my goodness. It’s been a while. Sorry about that. It’s because you need to: Watch Samantha Who? starring Christina Applegate, Jean Smart, Melissa McCarthy and Jennifer Esposito, starting October 15th, Monday nights on ABC. Right between Dancing With the Stars and The Bachelor. A night so girly, you just might ovulate! There are a…

my thanksgiving plans… and my december plans.
“Okay, so those are our notes, and we just want you to keep them in mind while you’re off and writing. Good luck. And we’re excited to read your script!” That was ABC. After rounds of outlines with producers and more producers and the studio and now the network, it’s time for me to sit…

working it.
There’s no easy way to explain this, the amount of work, luck and good fortune that goes into a lovely combination of producer interest, agenting, and studio support. Everybody has to invest time and energy and smarts and faith in creating a new possibility. On the afternoon AB Chao was flying to Los Angeles, hours…
