Craig and John take a look at Toph Eggers’s apology, which segues to a discussion of apologies in general and laugh tracks.
The bulk of the episode is spent on listener questions:
* After making a spec sale, what should a writing team do next?
* When handing in a rewrite, should you preface your changes in an email?
* How do you handle file-keeping with multiple projects and drafts?
* What is a “spec script auction?”
* What do you do when your manager keeps pushing you to write things you’re not interested in?
* How do you format verse (like Shakespeare) when it’s used as dialogue?
* What do you do when your scene has 23 characters in it?
All this and more in this week’s Scriptnotes.
