Happy Tuesday!You probably already know my friend and special guest Ben Blacker from his excellent podcast, The Writer's Panel.But did you know that he recently started a newsletter called Re:Writing?It's a natural extension of the podcast, drawing on the thousands of hours of conversations he's had with people at all levels in the business, as well as his own present day, boots on the ground perspective as a writer for film and television. It's great, I would have subscribed even if he wasn't my friend, and I highly recommend it.Last week he reached out with the idea of doing a guest column for each other's newsletter, focusing on the idea of "networking." I loved that idea because you'll get a perspective that I never would have come up with in a voice that's all his own.I'm running his guest column today, he'll run a part two from me in Re:Writing later this week.There are links to Ben's newsletter and podcast below. Go check them out!Without further ado, here's Ben Blacker...
