Comments on: "Why We Write" #5: Greg Berlanti http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/why-we-write-5-greg-berlanti/ Sun, 20 Jul 2008 18:12:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Jessica http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/why-we-write-5-greg-berlanti/#comment-26620 Jessica Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:06:02 +0000 http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/why-we-write-5-greg-berlanti/#comment-26620 I was looking forward to reading Greg Berlanti's essay because I absolutely loved the show which he both created and wrote for, <i>Everwood</i>. I still mourn its cancellation! I've read several interviews by Berlanti and I think he seems like a really nice guy. It brings him down to a more earthly level to hear that even a successful writer doubts his work. I understand the feeling! I wish him all the success in the world - I've seen <i>Brothers and Sisters</i> and it has the same rich tapestry of relationships that <i>Everwood</i> did.

Do we really need a comment section for this? (And yes, here I am commenting! Doh!) Nikki, you're a busy women-- save some time and just print these and close the comments so you can move on to the next thing. And a big happy new year, Nikki! I can't wait for the day when your headline reads: "Studios and writers make a reasonable deal! Strike is over!" and no doubt you'll be the first to break the story! These are great (some more than others but it’s subjective.)

To Westshowrunner–

If Greg Berlanti WAS somehow involved with Katzenberg or any group of showrunners trying to get the two sides at least talking again, then I applaud him and assume it’s the same reason his shows are some of my favorites…Because he’s smarter than the average showrunner who naively still supports this strike gone terribly awry….Thanks Greg for the essay and any efforts to end this strike.

I've been enjoying your work ever since. Please do whatever you can to end this strike. My husband also is BTL on a TV show, and the strike is hurting us.

Very funny, I love reading how these big names got their starts. I loved this essay, at least he has a fall back plan or would writing puppet shows for birthdays be against the strike?

Now that would be eye-opening. what I’d like to read from Greg Berlanti is “Why I joined Jeff Katzenberg’s Cabal of Weak-kneed Showrunners”. Now that would be eye-opening.

It is so comforting to know that at those dark times, when you wake in the middle of the night, awash in a sea of couldas, wouldas, and shouldas, that there are those who know, deep down, that they suck far more than you ever could, and they always will. (Sigh...) Thanks. Seriously, thank you for all these essays. they've shown the love that came before show me the money. At the end of the day, are ANY of us in this business for the money?

I have encouraged kids to seek their dreams, but keep the day job while doing it. Several have done just that, making it to Hollywood or Broadway and doing what they long wanted to do Thanks Nikki, for placing this on your website. You are indeed a credit to the industry which is lacking so much. And as I see these writers, some are living confortably while others are struggling, my heart goes out to all of them. The attempt to break them may work (hopefully not) but still I credit you for bringing this to the attention of the public which doesn't understand or even care in many cases... Keep it up!!!

Not because I’m great at it. As I mentioned above, most days I feel barely passable. I write because I love telling stories." As my own worst critic, it's great to hear someone else say he writes despite often feeling barely passable. thanks for posting these essays :-) “that’s why I write. Not because I’m great at it.
