The Right thing is rarely the Easy Thing. The @WGAWest and @WGAEast are doing something incredibly difficult, to offer us and those who come after a better life. That's why #IStandWithTheWGA and #IVotedYes.

To be clear, I'm a proud member of the @WGAEast. I went through staffing season sans an agent and with a new manager. I was fortunate enough to come out with a gig.
It came from my work, my relationships, and my work.
I said work twice because it's the thing that matters.

I'd like to thank all of the writers with whom I connected via #wgastaffingboost, #wgasolidaritychallenge, WGA mixers, coverage grids, friends, etc. which translated into reads, recommendations, meetings, and more! Praise Report: I started on NBC's Perfect Harmony this week! Yay!

An awesome effect of the writer solidarity movement is how it’s made me feel more empowered reaching out to people, so I re-pitched Harry Hamlin an old idea and HE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT. Any execs out there interested in HH as you’ve never seen him before? #WGADevelopmentBoost

Watching all the #WGASolidarityChallenge success stories pouring in, I've never felt so proud to be a member of this community. (Writers in Hollywood, I mean – not people who drink during the daytime. Although, given our present circumstances, there's probably a lot of overlap.) pic.twitter.com/UbSLw4j4oG

Yooooo! @WGAPerspective I received another email tonight from a showrunner who found me on ONE OF THE LISTS. This thing is working guys… IT'S WORKING. KEEP WORKING IT. Have faith. Dream big. Work hard. Never quit. #WGAStaffingBoost #WritingCommunity

I've heard from several people that they're having the best staffing season of their lives. I've heard from showrunners that they're being exposed to new voices they never would have read under the old system.
