    What does a ray of joy feel like after a particularly dark day? Having reference the X-Files to describe your work. Thank you, sir!

    52 traitors to our republic just held a pillow over the face of democracy until its last gasp and birthed a dictator. Don’t expect them to be any less violent in November.

    6/6 Answer the following: “What do you think you can contribute to their program that no one else can?” If you did the above well, this will answer itself. You have basically defined your voice for them, and it’s unique only to you.

    5/6 Answer “Why are you applying to that particular writing program?” What shows of theirs are you dying to write on and why?" If you get into the program, their goal is to staff you on one of their network’s shows. They want to know you have a passion for something they air.

    4/6 What's the theme of the sample your submitting? Make sure it matches the theme of your life story. You wanna be able to say some version of "I've experienced what my main character has experienced." They love it when your sample ties into your own personal story thematically.

    3/6 Segue to a formative moment in your life that galvanized you to become a writer. A death? A divorce? A betrayal of some sort? Drill down into that experience. Take us there in story. Was it horrifying? Inspiring? Beautiful? Make the reader feel something. End on a positive.

    2/6 Start with the basics…where you’re from, ethnicity, town, military family? How that influenced you to become a writer.

    1/6 Above all else, remember that your essay is a writing sample. So tell a great story about yourself...in story form. Some programs will judge you on the essay before they even look at your script. They want to know you can tell a compelling story, right there in the essay.

    For the confused: - Abuse of power is a crime. - Obstruction is a crime. - Fraud is a crime. - Election tampering is a crime. - Treason is a crime. - Orchestrating to block witnesses is conspiracy. - Doing nothing to stop this madness is complicity.

    Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reaction to my notes. Knowing they were that meaningful to you, was meaningful to me. Also, now you have at least one connection in LA!
