On Writing Your First Screenplay and Being Gay in Hollywood - Me on High Level with Axel Arzola
<p>Today on Screenwriter Survival Guide, we're doing something pretty special. Way back in Season One, I had my friend and creative partner, Axel Arzola, on the show to talk about the development process. This year, I went on his amazing show, High Level with Axel Arzola, and discussed the process of writing your first screenplay, among other things. I thought his episode of Screenwriter Survival guide was fantastic, and he was a big fan of my episode of High Level. In that spirit, we decided to give our listeners something special. So today, I'm bringing you my full episode of High Level on this feed and he's dropping his episode of Screenwriter Survival Guide. You'll hear Axel and I discuss the writing process, being gay in Hollywood, and a whole bunch of other topics related to screenwriting. His show has a much looser, conversational style that I'm sure you'll love. And when you're done, be sure to go listen to his episode of Screenwriter Survival Guide, now available on his feed.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Connect with Axel</strong> on <a href="https://twitter.com/axelarzola"><strong>Twitter</strong></a> or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/axelarzola/"><strong>Instagram</strong></a> (@axelarzola).</p> <p>If Screenwriter Survival Guide is providing value for you, we would really appreciate a quick rate and review!

I F**cked Up - Leaving Los Angeles
<p>On this quick bonus episode of Screenwriter Survival Guide, Sam checks in from a Ski Resort in Utah to revise his firmly-held belief that screenwriters must live in Los Angeles. Sam recently made the decision to take a break from LA, something that runs in diametric opposition to Chapter 1 of Screenwriter Survival Guide's first season (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chapter-i-why-and-how-all-screenwriters-should-move-to-la/id1579992191?i=1000531159758), in which he says that all screenwriters should move to LA. Today, he breaks down why he's decided to leave California, how he plans to continue his career from outside the TMZ, and what you should be thinking about if you're considering leaving LA as well.</p> <p>If Screenwriter Survival Guide is providing value for you, we would really appreciate a quick rate and review!
