WHY IS EVERYBODY HATING ON DOCTOR DOLITTLE? Marketers control the world these days…at least that’s how it often seems. Here’s a marketer’s perception of the failure of the latest version of _Dr. Dolittle _to grace our local cinema’s. And not just any marketer, Seth Godin, whose wisdom in the eyes of this TVWriter™ minion knoweth no bounds. -------------------------THE DOLITTLE EFFECT
Why is the new Dolittle movie so bad? Savaged by critics and viewers,it had:
* One of the most bankable movie stars in the world * A story that had previously been the basis of two hit movies * The best CGI houses in the world * Unlimited time and money I think the best way to understand why it failed is to look at the reasons above. Ironically, it’s these assets and lack of constraints that created the circumstances that allowed the movie to become aturkey.
Too many meetings.
Too many self-important voices around the table. And most of all: No one who cared enough or was bold enough to stand up and say, “no.” That would have been enough. If at three or four critical moments in the development of the project, someone had stopped the assembly line until the work was good enough to proceed, everything would have beenbetter.
Sometimes, the investments we put in place to avoid mediocrity are the very things that cause it. ------------------------- Don’t just sit there marveling at how much a showbiz non-pro knows about Hollywood. Instead, click on over to Seth’s Blog and see what else he knows and is so willing toshare.

HOW TO WORK FROM HOME AND ACTUALLY GET STUFF DONE Home office writers of the world, unite! We have nothing to lose but our relationships, families, and sanity…oh, and our freelance gigs. Here are some suggestions about how to work from home and not mess things up. Well, not mess them up too badly anyway. -------------------------BY JILL CHAFIN
Although working from home sounds lovely and relaxing, it has its own set of challenges. You need to be diligent about scheduling or risk getting distracted. Here are some easy steps for boosting yourproductivity.
STRUCTURE YOUR DAY
You’re forced into a structure when you work in a traditional office environment. You have to get dressed (properly), commute, and attend meetings. You have the pressure of working around colleagues and you have defined times for starting and ending work. It’s harder to implement structure when you’re on your own. However, creating a solid routine is key to being productive. * WAKE UP AT A DESIGNATED TIME: Just because you work from home doesn’t mean you should keep hitting snooze. One thing successfulentrepreneurs
have
in common is that they get up early. Don’t let those productivehours slip by!
* GET DRESSED: This will help switch your mindset to “work mode,” making you feel more productive. Resist the urge to work in your PJs: take a shower and fix yourself up, even if no colleagueswill see you.
* DO SOME WORK _BEFORE_ BREAKFAST: The usual recommendation is to start with a healthy breakfast, to fuel you for your busy day ahead. However, when you’re home all day, breakfast can be a drawn-out luxury, with reading, checking social media, and other distractions preventing you from getting started. Try diving into a quick work task, checking it off the list, and then sitting down to breakfast. * PREP MEALS IN ADVANCE: Try prepping your breakfast and lunch the night before. Avoid the kitchen during your work day—you’ll be tempted to cook elaborate meals or waste time mopping the floor. * EAT IN A SEPARATE SPACE: Take your meal breaks away from your office—outside if possible. Pause all work activities, switch your phone to silent mode, enjoy the fresh air, and let your mind reset. * EXERCISE: One great thing about working from home is flexibility. Hit the gym early, do a YouTube yoga class from the comfort of your living room, or go for a quick run if you’re feeling stuck or need a mid-afternoon boost…. Read it all with lots more bullet points and other good stuff atlifesavvy.com

Leave a comment on How to Work From Home and Actually Get Stuff Done LARRY BRODY: LIVE! FROM PARADISE! #80 – “EVERYDAY MAGIC” THE USUAL NOTE FROM LB: From the summer of 2002 to the spring of 2010, Gwen the Beautiful and I were the proud and often exhausted owners of a beautiful Ozarks property we called Cloud Creek Ranch. In many ways, the ranch was paradise. But it was a paradise with a price that started going up before we even knew it existed. Here’s another Monday musing about our adventure and the lessons we learned. Oh, and if y’all detect any irony, please believe me when I say it comes straight from the universe and not your kindly Uncle Larry B.BY LARRY BRODY
My California friend was certain a friendship with the Old Billionaire would bring me money.Ha! As if.
Instead it’s brought me something better.Magic.
It started over at the Chicago Hot Dog Stand when the Old Billionaire invited me along while he ran a quick errand. “The router’s gone bad on my home network,” he said. “I’m going over to that new computer store on the town square, see if they can handle the situation.” I love computer stores. I love walking through them and looking at all the hardware and software I can’t afford. Being in the middle of all that razzle-dazzle makes me go, “Wow.” It’s the same feeling I used to get in the local bookstore back when there were local bookstores, so even though I’d never noticed the place before the first words out of my mouth were, “Let’s go.” We drove over in the Old Billionaire’s old panel truck. Parked in front of the courthouse. The Old Billionaire was all excited. “This is how I test new places,” he said. “I give ‘em a little personal order. If they do the job and treat me kindly they get a shot at something more.” And when you’re an Old Billionaire “something more” is quite a bit more. If whoever ran the computer store handled things right this could be his very lucky day. As we crossed the street to the store, the Old Billionaire frowned. The place was a mess, its display window bare, paint scraped off one outside wall. Rumpled green fabric was piled up alongside it, straddled by a paint-spattered ladder. “Looked a lot better than this when I drove by a couple of weeks ago,” the Old Billionaire said. “Be a shame if they’re going out of business already.” Over a door that looked like it should’ve been locked was a little “Computers” sign. I was surprised when it opened, and more surprised after we walked inside. The store was bare except for a counter in the back, where a barefoot man in shorts who looked like a tall leprechaun sat cross-legged, fiddling with the innards of an open computer case. Beyond him, I could see a woman talking on the phone in a back room crammed with unopened shipping boxes. A bell attached to the floorchimed.
The Leprechaun looked up. Smiled. “Hi. What can I do for you finegentlemen?”
“My laptop’s not connecting right,” the Old Billionaire said. “Dial-up’s fine, but the wireless do-hickey says there’s no network for it to hook up with.” “Probably your router. You have a big power outage recently? That can take a router right out. I can get you one for not much money and show you how to install it. Or I can come over to your place and dothe job for you.”
Then the Leprechaun’s face clouded. “Not today, though. We just opened. We’re not really set up yet.” “Just opened?” I said. “Yesterday,” said the Leprechaun. “I know I should’ve waited till all our stock was in, but I was too excited.” “Young man,” said the Old Billionaire, “you sound like you know your stuff. I’ll give you a week. But when I come back I want to see that green awning up and your window filled with flashing doodads.” “How’d you know we’re going to put up a green awning?” theLeprechaun said.
The Old Billionaire shrugged. “I’ve been around,” was all hesaid.
We left the store. I looked at the Old Billionaire as directly as I could. “You saw that store before it was there,” I said. “Two weeks ago you saw how it’ll look next week.” “Could have,” he said. “Or there could be some otherexplanation.”
I waited for him to give me one. The Old Billionaire just smiled. “These things happen,” he went on. “I think they happen to everybody. It’s just that some of us pay more attention. Pay enough attention, and—who knows?—someday a person could get rich.” I motioned up the way, at the little candy store I’d seen a million times and always meant to try. “C’mon. As long as we’re here, let’s test drive one of theircaramel apples.”
“That a new store?” said the Old Billionaire. He recognized the look I was giving him. “No, no, I mean it. Never saw it before.” “Reckon we’ll find out,” I said. “Ah,” he said, “now you’re paying attention.”SHARE THIS:

Leave a comment on Larry Brody: Live! From Paradise! #80 – “Everyday Magic” HOW TO CHOOSE AN AGENT The TV (and film) writing agency situation remains in flux, with the biggest agencies refusing to budge from the positions that started the whole mess, and as a consequence the WGA has been doing all it can to help writers represent themselves safely and knowledgeably. Eventually, things will sort themselves out, but until that time “due diligence” is the order of the day. Know all you can about the talent agency biz people! Learn how to tell good agents from bad, if for no other reason than to make sure you are the best agent for yourself that you can be. Here at TVWriter™ we believe the following article is a good place to start your education. ------------------------- HOW TO CHOOSE AN AGENT AMID COMPETING OFFERSBY BARBARA POELLE
_I received an offer of representation for my young adult novel. When I notified the other agents who had the full manuscript that I was withdrawing from consideration, I got an additional five offers! What would you advise I ask of the offering agents in this situation?__Sincerely,_
_Full Dance Card_
Dear
Happy Dancer,
Well, first of all, if I am one of the offering agents, I advise you to pick me. I am _delightful_. But really, thank you so much for this question, because this happens more often than most authors realize. When multiple agents make an offer on the same manuscript, there are indeed several questions you should ask the offering parties, _and_ yourself, in order to determine which one might be your best match. I should note for others here that these questions should _also_ be considered even if only one agent is offering. After all, an offer isn’t an obligation—it’s an invitation, right? So invite them into a conversation! First, let’s assume that each of the offering agents is someone you chose for a particular reason, and not merely the result of a shot of tequila and a handful of darts flung at the pages of the _Guide to Literary Agents_. I would suggest taking a page out of my client Traci Chee’s approach when the same thing happened to her—open a new document on your computer or grab a legal pad and write every agent’s name and the primary reason why you queried each one at thetop.
Next, take a look at how long each agent has been in practice and how many clients he represents…. Read it all at janefriedman.com Read even more of it (more than “all?” wow)SHARE THIS:
