Productivity: One Goal to Change Your Writing Year

I’ve been lucky enough to work in the competitive world of television and sitcom writing for over twenty years (on stuff like Mr. Pickles and Key and Peele).. In this episode I talk about a weakness that can hold even the most talented writers back (and is certainly one that I have) (am I putting myself in the category of "most talented"?): the fear of putting yourself out there.I get into why "doing good work" is only half the battle. I use the rejection stories of legends like Stephen King and Frank Herbert as inspiration, I talk about my personal resolution for the new year (I bet you can’t wait to hear that), and I challenge you to figure out how to strengthen your own TV comedy career. If you want to master sitcom pilot writing and navigate the industry with more confidence, this episode will help you have a better 2026.
