519 - How to Forget

<p>John and Craig discuss the art of planning and forgetting. How do you stay present in a scene when you know where the story is going? The guys offer tips for making sure your characters are driving the story — but on roads you built.</p> <p>We answer listener questions on setting the mood, manager requests, and insurance struggles for writing partners. We also follow up on the IATSE strike, the CAA-ICM acquisition, and streaming data.</p> <p>In our bonus segment for premium members we discuss fame in 2021: one-sided relationships, attention vs. recognition, and advice for writers managing a public persona.</p> <p>Links:</p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://deadline.com/2021/09/disney-black-widow-lawsuit-scarlett-johansson-rsettlement-1234847437/"> Scarlett Johanssen and Disney Reach Agreement</a></li> <li><a href= "https://deadline.com/2021/09/caa-acquiring-icm-partners-1234844517/"> CAA Acquires ICM</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.academymuseum.org/en/">Academy Museum</a> featuring <a href= "https://twitter.com/johnaugust/status/1443330652586143744">Wizard of Oz</a> Script Page</li> <li><a href= "https://deadline.com/2021/09/bridgerton-stranger-things-scarlett-johansson-netflix-ted-sarandos-code-conference-interview-1234845341/"> Netflix Data Dump</a></li> <li>Caroline Graham and Kylie Stevenson’s podcast <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/lost-in-larrimah/id1377413462">Lost in Larrimah</a> and book, <a href= "https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/general-books/true-crime/Larrimah-Caroline-Graham-and-Kylie-Stevenson-9781760877835">Larrimah</a></li> <li><a href= "https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1443729354324779008.html">Twitter Thread by Dylan Park</a></li> <li><a href= "https://stackingthebricks.com/how-blogs-broke-the-web/">How Blogs Broke the Web by Amy Hoy</a></li> <li><a href="https://johnaugust.com/history">History of JohnAugust.com</a> and <a href= "https://johnaugust.com/1996/">John’s 1996 Blog</a></li> <li><a href="https://bethesda.net/en/game/deathloop">Death Loop</a></li> <li><a hre
