Summary

Liz and Sarah talk about being Creative Entrepreneurs. How can they expand their vision of their career? What elements will strengthen their two person small company? Then, in The Craft (& Fain), they discuss whether they want to continue writing their novel in the past tense, or whether they’d rather change to the present tense. In The Mailroom, Liz and Sarah answer a question from a Pre-WGA writer about how to approach an established writer with helpful information. This week’s Hollywood Hack comes from a listener: the Bite Away Insect Sting & Itch Relief Stick. Finally, Sarah has a whimsical recommendation — follow the Whitney Museum on Threads.

0:00.8	Liz, didn't you always say they'd get back to the negotiating table like August 1st?
0:06.7	That has been a theory that I have described to for sure and it looks like it's happening.
0:14.0	August 4th, that's pretty close. Pretty close. So let's hope they get somewhere. Yeah,
0:19.4	fingers, and toes, and everything crust.
0:27.6	Hi, and welcome to Happier and Hollywood. The podcast about how to be happier, healthier,
0:32.4	sane, or more creative, more successful, and more productive in a backbiting superficial
0:37.2	chaotic, unpredictable, fundamentally insane world. I'm Liz Kraft, a TV writer, living in LA,
0:44.4	and I currently have a cold, so excuse any frogginess in my voice. And with me is my high school
0:51.3	friend and writing partner Sarah. That's me, Sarah. Fane, Liz, you sound terrible. You may have

1:38.2	and a listener wrote in to remind me that electricity often comes from polluting resources like
1:45.4	coal. So I was inspired and I checked Liz with both of our electric company, which is Southern
1:52.0	California Edison, and found out that almost 50% of their electricity comes from carbon-free
2:00.0	sources like solar and wind. So that was very exciting to me. So both I have no emissions when I'm
2:06.8	driving and 50% of the electricity I'm using comes from renewable resources. That's great. And you
2:14.2	inspired me, Sarah, to check on how my solar panels are doing. Adam and I had solar panels put on
