Re: Effect of the Coronavirus
I enjoyed reading your response, Will. A lot of good stuff there. Very well thought out. This pandemic is probably already having deleterious effects on how people interact with each other. Even when it calms down, people will probably be less warm and open to each other. The entertainment industry is so social. I just wonder how this will change things. It occurred to me that Jeff Bezos is making even more money now because people are basically just ordering everything online now.
I get so jealous when I hear stories about how the writing scene was in the 90s. Some guy getting 4 million for a pitch on napkin. Newbie writers being able to break in a script with an original idea. The current scene was already hard, now, you add the pandemic on top of it. I wonder how contests will handle trying to get the word out on their finalists and winners. How managers will try to get people's attention on their new writers. I think the established writers at the top will be just fine. It's all the other little people that will face a greater unknown.
On a side note, I had all these favorite restaurants and desert places that I really loved. I hope they are still around when this thing calms down.
