Hey, welcome to the screenwriting life. I'm Meg Lafour. And I'm L'Orian McKenna.

We are professional screenwriters. We've worked together as a team and separately.

We've worked on studio and indie films, live action and animation, from my work on Inside Out and

Captain Marvel. To my work in Pixar Story Department on Up, Brave, and Inside Out.

We are here to share our insights on the craft of screenwriting and also the life.

Had a not only survive the ups and downs, but thrive.

We want to help you become the best screenwriter you can be

and to reassure you that you are not alone on this journey. Hey,SL fan, producer Jeff here and I want to start by saying thank you so much for your remarkable

patience as we've been on our summer hiatus and airing some banked episodes of the show. I know we've been off for two

weeks so we're throwing this in your feed now so excited to drop it. It is a huge

all-encompassing catch-up based on the six weeks that we've been off. I hadn't seen Megan

Lorian in that long. They hadn't seen me. They hadn't seen each other or our

interns. It was really fun to catch up. And as always, Megan Lorrying

just provided so much deep fulfilling and enlightening insight on. always Good news is this is dropping into your feed is almost a bonus episode of sorts and we do

have another episode dropping this Thursday. The much anticipated lava episode is finally dropping

into your feed this Thursday so we're super excited about that and from there

on out we should be back on a normal schedule. So we're back with TSL. We're so

excited to have you on the journey with us and let's get into it.

Hey guys, welcome back to the screenwriting life.

It's been a while, so today we wanted to just do a check-in.

This episode will be sort of an extended adventures in screenwriting because we've been gone for a while and there's a lot going on.

So Meg, I was going to have you go first.
