@tschrack I came to AFF single and left single I am doing something wrong I guess lol.

@LukeBarnett I do not get who this appeals to, and I say this as someone who watches General Hospital religiously. But actors should be able to get paid where ever there is money to be paid.

In the spirt of keeping the celebration of Italian Americans alive today, I call it Vincent Gambini Day.

@DannyManus This makes me feel so much better as I struggle with an 8th draft that still isn’t working and think “maybe I am just bad at this” no, I’m just 92 drafts short right now.

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

Who is going to AFF this year? I want to meet you in person/catch up.

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@TahhanSolo Me!

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@maximum_z Maybe about two years ago? I tweeted about wanting to read more scripts and you responded. Not sure if i read the same one you submitted but it was excellent so I assume whatever you submitted this year was pretty good.

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@maximum_z Anyway, all this is to say that the early round reads are in some ways a lottery. Some scripts are very clearly not there. I’ve read yours so I know that’s not the case. But others, it can really be how the reader was feeling that day. Sorry for the essay lol.

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@maximum_z And I moved it on because it wasn’t fair to the writer to pass because it of that. That script is a semi finalist currently and tbd on it. But if I hadn’t caught myself, it might not have placed (there’s a second reader but would they read it closely or just agreed?

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@CindyBegel I think I’d be considered an advanced newbie, and I’m not currently in a workshop group so I’d love to join if there is room.

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@agraybee @janecoaston Helps that it’s the only comedy of the last ten years.

(I’m sure it’s actually great, I’m just on old millennial who wants more comedies).

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@SPMJM I keep seeing this advice about growing ton TikTok to get tv writing jobs and I’m like…these are not the same thing. Also most writers aren’t performers. Also these are not the same thing.

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@tschrack I’ll take all of yours thanks.

@wil_da_beast630 I have dual citizenship with a country where women don’t change their last names at marriage. I doubt I’ll ever get married, but if I do, I would keep my name just to avoid having two different legal names on two different passports. If that’s a red flag, he’s not the one for me

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@katrosenfield I didn’t. I liked the messiness of it. But a few readers were like “but how could she?” Idk, he’s hot? (Her actual answer). It’s a comedy. Let it be. Political art just needs to evolve. And be good.

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@katrosenfield I think political art is fine, but a lot of what we got the past few years was very bad. And couldn’t do anything that wasn’t clear cut who is right/wrong. I have a pilot about a democrat running for office and she’s sleeping with a republican. Told to take that out a few times

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@emilykmay I took a sleeping pill around 11 so I’d be knocked out until 8 because I knew then wanted 8 hours of peace before the storm.

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@agraybee No me too. I’m like…ok we’re just doing Mitt Romney, I can do Mitt Romney.

[Jillian @JillianCardillo]

@CartoonsHateHer @Reichwriting I just had this argument in one of my very liberal group chats. I phrased it as “do you want to do right or be right?” It’s interesting watching the evolution of this as a liberal person who has always been secretly a little skeptical (also that I’m now ok saying this out loud)
