Hi All,
I wanted to reach out and let you know about a class coming up called: Mock TV Drama Writers' Room.
It begins tomorrow at 2pm!
This mock TV drama writers’ room is hosted exclusively through Stage 32.
You’ll learn how to be a collaborative member of a writers’ room, be flexible, effectively pitch to the room, and defend your ideas. And you’ll do all of this in a supportive space, building connections with other writers, and led by Kate Sargeant.
Kate is an accomplished television writer who has worked on over 100 episodes of network TV shows including CASTLE, SCI: CYBER, NCIS: NOLA, and BLINDSPOT. Most recently, Kate served as a supervising producer on OBLITERATED, a one-hour drama for TBS.
You can find it here: https://www.stage32.com/classes/Mock-TV-Writers-Room
Please let us know where you are tuning in from today and what you are learning from Kate?

If you have notes, I'd love to see them. I was distracted today, so I didn't get to take as many, but I might go back in the recording and write down all the stuff Kate said back to our pitches. Such great info.

On a sidenote, one of the downsides of being a mystery writer is that every single time I find a place that seems like it would be "killer-friendly," I always make a note of it for future books. And one of the thoughts I had when we walked past the equipment rooms on a tour of MSG was, "boy, a guy could really kill someone in here and no one would see it." (Only from a certain angle, though.) Castle was not kidding around when he said, "two types of people think about murdering all the time: psychopaths and mystery writers." Complete truth.
