Someone had sent me a fb link: https://www.facebook.com/writersontheverge?fref=ts in which the NBC TV studio was looking for new writing talent. What got me was the 'no experience necessary." So I wrote to them and asked, is that right? Yeap. IT's right. No experience necessary. So why is it that a prof TV studio is looking for writers who's only requirement is you need to know how to use a keyboard? Call me naïve, silly or just plain snobby, but wouldn't a TV studio WANT someone with writing experience? Shouldn't the writer at least know how to create characters, plot, etc? Or is that stuff now not needed?
THey also started to give writing tips 101 that the newest newbie under SYW should know. and yet the folks on the FB page were excited to get these tips as many didn't know them. Again, I"m scratching my head. NBC wants writers who don't know you should start a scene with action. Is this how the TV studios are now? Writers who have no clue how to write? Sigh ... No wonder I hate TV.
