The trouble with Washington is that the system is designed to hire politicians, not legislators or statesmen.

48 hours in…and the response to this year’s Grey List has been incredible.

Messages from managers.
Script requests.
New connections forming.

So grateful to everyone who has embraced what we're doing here. Hold on, 'cause we're just getting started!

Things I Can Say About MFA Writing Programs Now That I No Longer Teach in One I recently left a teaching position in a master of fine arts creative-writing program. I had a handful of students whose work changed my life. The vast majority of my students were hardworking, though...

Not all of these lessons are applicable to screenwriters ... but most of them are.

BTW the poster’s bisexual lighting is not accidental.

I don't want us to have a strong middle class because I value mediocrity. I want us to have a strong middle class because that's how you avoid revolutions.

PETITION to have all the world governments proactively announce that they will not bail out A.I. companies that go bankrupt.

The A.I. bros could slowly deflate the bubble ... if they wanted to.

But they'll keep accelerating toward a wall because they have airbags made of tax payers.

I’ve been thrilled and honored and mildly horrified to be friends with Brett for decades now. He’s surprisingly sweet if you can get through the hard candy shell

His QUEEN OF THE SKY is the best kind of period piece - it’s so entertaining that you forget it’s also educational

Here’s my humble addition to the Grey List. It’s a character drama cleverly disguised as an action thriller.

I’m gratitudemaxxing to have been selected for the Grey List.

But since we’re all old folks, I guess I should say gosh darn it, it sure is swell

This is badass. Thanks very much to Brad and the Grey List readers for curating such a stellar list.
