It was Downey who coined the phrase in the LEVERAGE writers room “future episodes do not win out over present episodes”. Trust me, you’ll have more ideas. You’ll die full of them.
WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*.
Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more.
Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.

There should be book clubs for babies. "I enjoyed the crinkliness of this one but I have to say the little mirror at the end was a bit predictable."

This is an unspooling thread of total joy. A slug of forgotten comedy history.
The brilliant female clowns of silent cinema. This might be the most ALIVE thing you’ll see all day.

Since we are once again dealing with "the only silent era comedians of note were men" I feel I need to stand up for the ladies.

For most of us we've written our specs. We've written MANY. We have great samples. We have good feedback. We KEEP WRITING. The problem? No one is reading.
Rooms will not read lower levels. As such, agents will not read us because they can not get us work. We're writing specs for an army of one.

Said with love but there is a tone deafness in the "just write your spec!" advice that seems to be totally ignored in the current climate.
It works if you're repped. If reps are taking new clients. If places are buying A LOT. If rooms are staffing unknowns/lower levels. If not? It's a platitude.

We owe it to Fletcher to remember and to right these brutal wrongs.
