How to Stay in Love.Stay curious about your partner. Don’t assume you know everything about them. Each day, remind yourself what drew you to them, and ask yourself what still draws you to them.

“improbable” matches can happen if you’re strategic, bold, persistent, ask for what you want, enlist other people in your search most people don’t have the guts to really do this and follow through, which makes it a remarkably effective filter https://t.co/Z34RVwDkwY pic.twitter.com/XlAcJMDQYR— Visakan Veerasamy (@visakanv) June 2, 2023

1. advance the plot; 2. deepen a character; 3. exemplify the genre (comedy- get a laugh; horror- have a scare, etc.); 4. build the world. So a scene between people, existing as people, int he world they live in, INSIDE your story, is legit even if there's not a plot point. BUT--— Seth Sherwood (@SethMSherwood) February 4, 2023

If you've got a great spec, treat it that way. Get it to the person or people who are closest to producers and execs and agents and managers––ideally people who like you and want to help get your great script the attention it deserves. 14/18— Jonathon E. Stewart (@JEStew3) November 21, 2022

Companies find it incredibly hard to reliably staff positions with hard-working generalists who operate autonomously and have high risk tolerances. This is not the modal employee, including at places which are justifiably proud of the skill/diligence/etc of their employees.
Startups are (by necessity) filled with generalists; big companies are filled with specialists. People underestimate how effective a generalist can be at things which are done by specialists. People underestimate how deep specialties can run. These are simultaneously true.
The hardest problem in B2C is distribution. The hardest problem in B2B is sales.
Your idea is not valuable, at all. All value is in the execution.
nobody serious will engage in contract review over an idea, and this will mark you as clueless.
