Hi All,
Thank you so much for joining us in class! I wanted to make a lounge link for you all before, during, and after Spencer's class to stay connected.
Please tell us what are some of your favorite moments in class so far and what you are working on and/or learning?

I’ve only done one day but I am very excited and Spencer is so personable with so much “give” And a wealth of knowledge oozing out of his pores. I am a little nervous at how much Hass to be written in such a short time but I’m up for the challenge

Yeah I'm definitely feeling the pressure cooker when it comes to the production of the words too!

Good point Anzu, I haven't done a word count. Just getting it out of my head and onto paper right now. It sounded so much better in my head :)

Hi everyone. Good to meet you all here, too. Yeah, it's rough. I still don't have all the details in my head, never mind on the page :) but it will all work out, I am sure!

Hi everyone, I'm a little late getting to the party. I'm having fun with these character sketches, but I'm only working on two so far. I've gotta pick up the pace. I'm hashing out my 2025 world. I'm excited about this class. It's going to be a lot of work, but we can do this! A drama pilot in 7-weeks, here we go...aw yeah!. See ya soon!

Can't wait for the next class.

I have a conflict for the first two weeks so I'm playing catch-up via the recordings but I'm looking forward to joining everyone soon! I already know some of you from other classes and Anzu Lawson , I'm not 100%, but I "think" I met you in person at WIM party at Sundance in 2019? Is that possible?

Hello everyone. I missed this week's class, so will listen to the recording, but look forward to the next session. I am also open for a writing group. Perhaps more towards the end of the 8 weeks here?
haven't done sundance yet but maybe in 2023! Sarah Teres
Anzu Lawson Ah, then it wasn’t you!

Hi Everyone. What are you all watching at the moment and would you share your recommendations? I will do the same. I've just finished binge-watching Mad Men (where have I been?) I really liked it for its historical context and the rich layering of its A, B and C stories.

Watching bits of the Elite pilot along with The Haunting of Hill House, the latter to see how much they followed the original pilot script.
Thanks Deven, I'll take a look at both of those - are they on Netflix?

Hello all—I've been following along for the first few classes because I had a conflict the first few, so last week was my first "live" class.
My email is:
seteres@serqetproductions.com
Not that anyone asked BUT....
This is my THIRD (!!) class with Spencer and I can say that he's incredibly knowledgeable and I've learned a lot from him in every class I've taken.
Re: Writer's Group: I am in a writer's group and have found it to be EXTREMELY helpful and (I think?) my writing has improved a lot from having been in a writer's group.
At the moment we are looking for a few new members, but not TOO many because in our experience, Writer's Groups work best if we keep the number on the smaller side. However, not everyone attends every session due to scheduling conflicts etc.
Half of us are on the East Coast of the USA, half are on the West Coast. I'm not sure if that matters for people looking to join writer's groups, but just thought I'd mention it.
Most people in the group are working on pilots, but there are a few working on features as well.
We're an Ethnically Diverse, Multi-Religious, LBGTQI+ (some are allies) Liberal group so if you're on the conservative side, we are not the group for you!
I also have a helpful "info" sheet from an instructor for writers starting writer's groups for anyone interested, I'm happy to send it along, just let me know!
Thanks and happy writing!
XO
S.

I've submitted to Sundance a few times. I think I'm wearing them down. He!-He! I'm determined to get into the Episodic Lab.

Just keep submitting! Eventually, you'll get in! :-) This business is all about attrition.
