Thank you, thanks for having us. Yeah, thanks you. I'm really excited.

Cool. So these guys have agreed to jump in with our adventures in screenwriting, aka what our week was like.

I'll start, I'll just go first. My week was about process and three different ways. What was kind of a process,

process craft and lava, which on our show you guys we talk about lava being that kind of you know when you're writing and it starts to get

hot and burning and you may be thinking I don't want to deal with that in terms of process my son

Aiden is in college and has stuff do that of course he was supposed to do this summer and he's
