Hey everyone. Welcome back to the screenwriting life. I'm Meg Lofove, and I'm so lucky to be joined today by writer Kim Rosenstock. She is the co-creator of the incredible TV show Dying for Sex. It's a limited series based on the hit podcast of the same name. This show is based on a true story and follows a woman named Molly,

who, after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, decides to leave her marriage and embark on a

series of deeply personal, hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking sexual adventures. Kim is an Emmy

and WGA nominated TV writer, producer, and playwright, whose TV credits include new girl, only murders in the building, glow, and single parents on ABC.

Before transitioning to television, Kim began her career in theater and playwriting. Her plays and musicals have received critical acclaim and been produced around the country, earning an outer critic circle nomination for her play Tigers Be Still and a drama desk nomination for her musical Fly By Night.

So I'm going to first say welcome to the show, Kim.

Thank you. Thanks for having me, Meg.

I can't wait to talk to you about this incredible show Dying for Sex.

But first, we're going to do our opening segment Adventures in Screenwriting,

a.k.a. how our week was. I'll go first.

I am still in the continuing saga of holy shit. Maybe this doesn't work, step in the process of writing.

Last week, I was sure with my writing partner

that we had to throw half the script out

and, you know, on deadline,

but the truth is, maybe this doesn't work.

I thought it did.

Your writing partner reads it.

No, it doesn't.

They have huge concerns.

But then, as always, because it just turns and turns,

we come up with all these huge changes from the midpoint on in order to make that third act

work. But now my collaborator's in there. And he's like, no, what you had does work. It's just this.
