🇺🇸 When I started this script 7 years ago, all I cared about was telling the 442’s story and contributing a unique AAPI take in the well-tread WWII film genre. Grateful for all the support. This is a story about loving our neighbors and overcoming senseless racial divisions.

@ed_solomon @theblcklst Appreciate you! Thanks for always making these conversations engaging and interesting. Ngl, I printed out and framed that chart you wrote as a joke about Hollywood film structure. Anytime I get stuck in a draft, it helps me laugh at my predicament and power on ahead

Shoutout to the brilliant @ed_solomon who, week after week, lays out a map, charted with hard earned insight and hilarious war stories. @theblcklst Word for Word is like a weekly MFA class for up-and-coming writers, where all the proceeds go to help the entertainment community 🫶

STAGES OF WRITING:

1. EUPHORIA: My best idea I’ve ever!😃

2. REALISM: How do I write this?🤔

3. DEPRESSION: Who thought of this nonsensical piece of crap?🤬😭

4. RESOLVE: I think I can make it work.😢

5. RELIEF: Can’t believe I finished that!😅

I’m at #4 now. And you?

@whollymoses Tom Holland. If Javier bardem was the well resourced “old model.” 007 should fight the cunning, elusive “new model” 👀

[Junot Lee @JunotLee]

@ed_solomon I look forward to these every week. Thanks for hosting another great conversation 🙏🏼❤️

@whollymoses Oof

@whollymoses Not cool at all - it’s a free webinar! I’ll send you the link, jj Abrams is up next

And learning from you my friend! I got nothing to share. Still a grasshopper 🥋

[Junot Lee @JunotLee]

@ed_solomon This webinar series is phenomenal, I look forward to it every week! Thanks for being a terrific moderator and finding different bits of insight and wisdom to share, even when there’s a repeat question.

Not everyday you get the best of the best answering your questions. I asked Chris McQuarrie how he writes himself out of corners, he answered: character over plot (99% of studio notes are about plot). And relinquish all control. Shoutout to Ed, Megan and @theblcklst #WordbyWord

@playoffpbball Giannis all day. The obsessive work ethic of Kobe meets the God given dominant natural talent of Shaq. After the bucks chip, Shaq literally bestowed his blessing on Giannis as the new “Superman.” Just wish they traded Middleton for Donovan when Utah had its fire sale
