That's me, Kimmy Gatewood (one
of my stars), my director Matthew C. Johnson, and (my other star) Canedy Knowles at the New York Television Festival with
"What She's Having," where we kicked butt! We didn't win but we totally should have.
I am teaching another Sitcom Writing Class at the P.I.T.
this summer. However, it is SOLD OUT. Don't despair, I will teach
another one and you should definitely get yourself on the wait list because, not to toot my own horn, but they always sell
out fast. Toot. If you're interested,
