My wife and I spend a lot of time with Warren Leight. You probably do too . . . Because we, like you (admit it), watch a lot of Law & Order SVU and Warren was a writer and showrunner for years. Before that, though he was a finalist for the big P for his fantastic play, Side Man. Warren is one of the few playwrights that can go so easily from stage to screen . . . and that’s all about how he started writing in the first place.

See, he started because he wanted to be a sports writer, and then . . . wait . . . I’m giving it away. Just listen to the podcast and hear Warren talk about: How a lie about loving horror movies led to him writing one . . . and why you might want to fib a little too. Why he binge writes. The importance of joining a Writer’s Group and how it helped him. Why the deadlines of TV help make him a better writer . . . and how you can use deadlines to accomplish your goals, whether you have a TV network demanding a script or not. How he wrote Side Man without realizing he was writing it . . . and what it was like after he won The Tony (and it’s not what you think).

Warren’s path to success is such a lesson in the grind, creativity and flexibility it takes to be successful in this business and in any business, and this podcast could give you a map for your own.
