My Creative Mojo

You already told me about that.
Oh, yeah. You already told me about that twice.
Oh, that again. You’re really going to retell your 15 minute speech about how much water you drink every day and why you bought a water filter instead of ordering water delivery?
I didn’t care the first three times, why do you think [...]

In his previous life, he was Hitler. Nick Counter will die and come back to life as a writer.
I have never had a more burning desire to hold a crucifixtion in Encino (home of the AMPTP).

It hadn’t occurred to me before, a really easy way to get the AMPTP back to the negotiating table.
The WGA should trick Nick Counter into showing up at a hotel meeting room, perhaps by baiting him with an underage girl. Then when Nick shows up, he encounters the WGA’s secret weapon: Chris Hansen, who corners [...]

WGA support got substantially stronger today when the WGA (that’s the Writers Guild of America) gained support from the WGA (the Waggers Guild of America.)
Not only did the dogs pledge their support and march on our picket lines, they also promised to shit in Nick Counter’s lawn, and also place paper bags of dog poo [...]

I actually arrived early to the picket line, just a moment before our gate captain showed up with the picket signs.
So I got “first tracks” and four of us started the picket line. It was kinda like going skiing, being the first skiier off the lift and getting “first tracks” through the fresh untrekked snow, [...]

I would like to apologize.
Sincerely apologize.
I was a little tired and wasn’t completely paying attention while driving.
I honked. Not just a nice and friendly tap on the horn, but a HONK! HONK! HOOOOOOOOONK!… HONK!
Oh crap! That’s not a picket line. That’s a large group of people waiting for the bus.
To all the people waiting for [...]

A blurb from an article in Variety:
SAG reps have also attended most of the sessions at the WGA negotiations.
SAG’s contract expires June 30. It’s expected to begin the process of hammering out its demands early next year via member gatherings dubbed “W and W” for wages and working conditions.
In the meantime, the guild’s been able [...]

For those who aren’t current on the strike news, this is week 5. To keep things interesting, I’d like to mix things up, but my gate captain has rejected these theme ideas for our picket line:
1. Dress like valet day
2. Bring a stripper to the picket line day
3. Elderly walker day
4. Charge a toll to [...]

“I’d like to make a porno that actually has a good story.”
“You could, but none of the story would make the final cut. Although you could put it in the out-takes on the DVD.”

He came back today, but apparently we put him in his place.
He came onto the lot calm and collected, driving a minivan.
I’ll call that a win for the writers.

Black Mercedes Douche might sound like a luxurious hygiene item. In actuality, it’s a total a-hole.
It was the talk of the picket line. For the second day in a row, this same guy nearly ran over some picketers. We aren’t even instigating anything. We’re a pretty nice bunch of people who are out just to [...]

5 out of 5 biased Variety reporters think that their biased reporting is fair to the AMPTP and the studios.
Mr. Counter’s middle name is Bean. Nick Bean Counter.
His full first name is Nicholass.
4 out of 5 writers do NOT think that Variety is the spice of life.
2 out of 5 writers think that Variety is [...]
