The Writers' Assistant Life: The Quickie |

As we learned last time, not just writing happens in the writers’ room. A lot happens aside from the usual pitching and note-taking… like quickies. Yes, you heard me correctly… I had just finished typing “Fade Out” on the latest script when the writers broke for lunch. While they were going out to dine on eggplant parmesan and chicken a la king, I was staying in to dine on proper punctuation and spelling a la perfect. My then-boyfriend, Ty, who worked on set, always wanted to come visit me during lunch, but never could -- the writers were always around, I was working, or both. But not today.

Adrien Grenier showed off his full-grown beard at the Woods bar on Saturday, February 16th in Hollywood. The Entourage star sucked on a cigarette outside the former Lava Lounge, drawing appreciative stares from the females entering the bar. Sadly, Turtle, Drama and Eric were not in toe to play wingman for him. Former SNL star Chris Parnell caught up with friends at West Hollywood pub/restaurant, the Village Idiot on Saturday, February 16th. Did he choose the venue because the name reminds him of all the moronic characters he has played?

Dear Reason,
I’ve spent a lot of precious years of my life in this business and I have to finally face the truth – I HATE MY JOB. I am miserable. And I want to be happy going to work every day. I feel underutilized…under worked AND underpaid! I feel like I’m invisible here when I know I have the potential to be so much more. And I already got promoted from assistant to coordinator, so this isn’t a “hang in there” situation. I’m ready to leave.
The problem is, I’ve only ever worked in entertainment in one way or another. I don’t even know where to start. Any thoughts?

The Writers' Assistant Life: The Lactating Writer |
|
|
|
|
Written by Ariel

In a writers’ room, minding your “Ps” and “Qs” often means something other than the “pleases” and “thank yous” or “mind your manners” definitions we were raised on. For writers’ assistants, it literally means minding the “P”s and “Q”s and the other 24 letters of the alphabet we type 100 mph. And while we type, anticipating the carpal tunnel we will inevitably get, the writers write. However, I know that writers often do other things in writers’ rooms while writing (or not writing, as the case may be): play ping pong, scrabble, whiffle ball, and Wii, show pictures from their iPhones to each other, take pictures of each other, text, e-mail, knit, crochet… I even heard of one writer who used to iron her fellow staffers’ clothes. But lactating? This was a new one to me: The Lactating Writer.
