Summary

Liz and Sarah have decided that it’s time to embrace the identity of “content creator” — in the evolving world of Hollywood, it’s part of stepping into the future. In Take Two, they revisit the topic of allowing for “disproportionate joy.” Turns out the idea is catching! Next, in The Mailroom, they answer a question from Liz’s sister, Gretchen, about getting notes. This week’s Hollywood Hack is an upgrade of a past Hollywood Hack: Loop Switch 2 Adjustable Earplugs. Finally, Liz has a book recommendation — Dinner For Vampires, a memoir of her time in a cult by One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz.

0:00.0	Lemonada.
0:06.7	Liz were Nacho and Daisy happy to be home? Like, did they just go run like crazy in the yard?
0:12.3	They were happy, but, you know, I think they enjoyed the adventure of being in the hotel.
0:17.5	I think it was a lot of new smells. So I'm not sure. I'm still not sure if they'd rather be out
0:24.6	having fun or at home. I bet they got a lot of attention. They're so cute. Oh, they got a lot of
0:31.9	attention.
0:42.8	Hi, and welcome to Happier in Hollywood, the podcast about how to be happier, healthier,
0:48.8	saner, more creative, more successful, and more productive in a backfiting, superficial, chaotic,
0:56.1	unpredictable, fundamentally insane world. I'm Sarah Fane, a TV writer and producer living in Ohio right outside of L.A. And with me is my high school friend and writing partner, Liz. That's me,
1:01.4	Liz Kraft. On this podcast, we talk about being writers in Hollywood, how we balance a career and

1:18.6	In take two, we'll revisit the topic of disproportionate joy. Then we have a mailroom question

1:33.4	Yes, but first, Sarah, an update. Of course, Los Angeles has been dealing with these horrible fires.
1:42.0	It's going to be an ongoing thing for years to come. I'm happy to say that
1:47.1	having been evacuated for a week, I'm back in my house. Our neighborhood was totally protected
1:54.2	by the fire department. Thanks so much to them. We have power. Everything is back in our neighborhood. So feel very lucky about that.
2:03.8	And also, again, just want to thank everybody who reached out during that time to make sure
2:09.0	that both of us were okay. Yes. And there are many, many ways to donate to people who lost
2:16.1	everything in the LA fires.
2:19.4	We encourage you to do that.
