"One Day At A Time" Creator Explains How To Start Your TV Writing Career

[@TheThriftQueen]

I didn’t plan at all when I moved to LA. Left VA with $500 and a plane ticket purchased two weeks prior. Biggest leap of faith of my life. 3 years later I’m still here with a pilot and 5 features under my belt. The right doors will open. Trust your intuition.

[@imstupidbut1603]

How did you get people who would hire you to even look at your scripts?

[@kingun1890]

So how are you nowadays? Are you having some struggle?

[@512ent]

Wow!!! That’s awesome!!!

[@recoil53]

Sounds like the aunt that has seen some of the world telling you stuff.

[@ljphotography2349]

One day at a time is one of the BEST lantix represention ever. I'm so glad they are bringing it back

[@Yajaira19lol]

LJ Photography the best? You sure about that? Are you REALLY sure?

[@ljphotography2349]

@@Yajaira19lol I did say ONE of the best

[@Yajaira19lol]

If she reads any of the comments I’d love to know her thoughts on entering writing competitions to build recognition before moving to LA,, and if there’s a certain age range that’s better for getting into the business

[@gloriacalderonkellett1790]

I think those are great! They can get expensive as many have entry fees so be selective.

[@sarahbroen9140]

I can but j am not that good at writing

[@ritaofthelions]

This video literally came right on time. I've been really been debating about making this step. While I'm not ready for the moving part, this motivated me to take the steps towards it. Shoutout to whoever produced this and can't wait for the next episode.

[@soupylooloo1617]

[@xx_milixx_24]

Yo i was looking up the script for b99 in the beginning of the video and then she mentions that Brooklyn 99 is her favorite show on tv right now. It’s a damn sign.

[@elmono5327]

Oh wow they got her will listen on my way home from work

[@CheRhys]

Glad that my late night apartment hunting has not been in vain lol. I’m graduating with my MFA next May and plan to move from NY to LA in June/July.

[@BostonBookBitty]

I’m planning on moving to LA at the end of the year and I loved the tip about parking tickets! Didn’t even consider that. I will for sure be watching the other Hollywood 101 videos ❤️

[@r.joyceentertainment3490]

[@Max-mj5jt]

I’m only 12 years old but my dream when I’m older is to work for the Simpsons, so I’m trying my hardest to get to that goal. I’ve already started saving i but 3rd of whatever money I get into my savings and I get to spend the rest. I’m also trying to study writing and scripts, and create my own short story’s! Because I know my goal is huge but it’s what’s going to make me happiest in life.

[@spiritual9635]

HELL YEAH

[@paperchasindude6578]

I'm 16 I want to be a screenwriter but I'm scared that I might not make it

[@billykimber673]

I’m thinking that exact same thing

[@sarahbroen9140]

I am the fourth one

[@tvrotsyourbrain09]

"Do you need to move to Los Angeles? Probably." ...deep sigh...

[@G-TV_TheOneManArmy]

Is new York a good place to start too

[@braydiculous]

Why question is how do you get hired as a writer, not how do you learn to write.

[@porco_germe0v451]

Can I create scripts for comics and tv shows at the same time ?

[@benkrapf]

Interesting how much less necessary it is to be in LA to do TV now. A silver lining of the COVID years.

[@aylin2721]

So I'm cuban and "One Day at Time" literally explains my family

[@urfatherlessbehavior]

Can you pls bring some peruvians
