Lynn also talks about being accepted into and participating in writing fellowships like the Sony Pictures Television Diverse Writers Program and how those programs and some great mentors jump started her career.

Lynn talks about applying for the job based on the company’s dog mascot, her boss’s obsession with blender drinks, and what happens when a sociopathic boss is also dating the company’s HR manager.

Writer and stand up comedian LYNN MALEH (Universal Basic Guys, Act Your Age) joins Alyssa to talk about working as a copywriter at a company run by an absolutely crazy boss.

Charlie talks about how he got paid to play games like blackjack and pai gow, the easiest but sketchiest job interview ever, the regulars he would meet playing the casino tables, and what it’s like to now write for some of the world’s most iconic animated characters.

Yes go Dodgers and all of that but when you get Patrick from Schitt’s Creek singing Oh Canada at the World Series it’s hard to not switch allegiances.

It’s been super exciting to work on a primetime, network show (did mention we’re on right after The Simpsons?!) and I can’t wait for all of you to check it out!

I’ve been working on this show for the last few months and now its season two premiere is TONIGHT at 8:30pm on #fox and available next day on #Hulu. Make sure to keep watching every Sunday!

I have no idea why the laurels came out so dark and apparently I can’t edit the post but I meant to post this image!

And if you do want to read this almost-award winning script, it's available here on my website: www.alyssafeller.com/tv-writing

These days, I guess you have to take any win, even if it's a second round win.

Would it have been cool and validating to actually make it to the semi-finals? Yes. But is this cool too? Yeah, kind of. Will I submit again? Maybe. Did I post this to brag a little since there is very little else to brag about at the moment? Yes.

So I submitted and... I got into the second round. Yay? They say about 20% of scripts make it to this round, so I guess it was better than 80% of the other scripts that were submitted.

But then I found out the Austin Film Festival has a spec script contest, and considering WWDITS's final season was last year, I knew that this spec didn't have much shelf life left.

So what did I do with the script? Mostly, nothing. I think I used it to apply to one fellowship, and then put it up on my website as a sample. What else was I supposed to do with it?

I ended up having a lot of fun writing the script, and between frustrating project after frustrating project, it was a joy to write something as stupid and silly as a bunch of idiotic vampires celebrating a vampire holiday I completely made up, with one overused Christmas trope after another.

However, I had gotten this really crazy idea in my head - I wanted to write a 'What We Do In The Shadows' Christmas episode. Like I said, crazy.

But a couple of years ago I had a whim to write a spec script. Why? I don’t know, because as most people “in the biz” know, they really aren’t a good use of time since no one wants to read them.

I don’t often submit scripts to script competitions. In fact, I don’t think I have in over six-ish years. I decided a few years ago that I didn’t really want to spend any more money on scriptwriting classes, workshops, competitions, etc.

My favorite part of The Bear is that it takes place in a small little town called Chicago where everyone went to school together and everyone seems to know each other.
