Task Force
How's it going trying to get on t.v.? I want to get on t.v. as well and have my own cartoon/show and eventually branch out into movies. Sorta like Seth MacFarlane and Larry David. I'm not sure where to start. Should I move to LA or something? I'm from Michigan and there's absolutely no industry out here.

My breh. Welcome
Just think about it this way -- there's not a man on the planet that doesn't look at porn and beat his dikk. Not doing either and putting that energy toward something productive will skyrocket you forward and put you in the rarest of company from a willpower and mental strength standpoint
I'll answer your last question first -- YES breh. If you're serious about this and want to do this with your life I would 100 percent move to LA. I fought it out of fear and uncertainty like most people do and would, and made excuses like most people do and would, before cutting the excuses and making that moves. It's had it's ups and downs, but it's been the best decision I've ever made and now industry or no industry, I don't want to live anywhere else
on your dreams of getting into animation/TV/movies/comedy. If you feel it in your gut don't let anyone talk you out of it. With that said, what stage are you in your pursuit of it?First things first, writers write. A lot of people out here have crazy ideas but they never execute on them. So if you've never written a script before, I'd get some software (or you can write on Celtx.com, which is free) and start banging out spec scripts. A spec script is an example script of a show that is on the air. You should ONLY spec shows that are currently on the air, and the sweet spot is to spec a shot in its 2nd to 4th season. Stay away from anything that has been on the air for years and years, because they've done it all by that point and everyone has probably specced them.
Write a show you love, because it'll show on the page. Nail down your A, B and C stories, outline it until you know exactly where you're going and then bang out that script. Your first draft is going to suck. I call it a vomit draft, because I'm basically getting it out. Don't get depressed when it sucks, because the magic is in the rewrites. Once you've done a bunch of different drafts, send it to a couple of people who know what they're talking about to get notes on it. If you don't have anybody, I'll be glad to be a set of eyes for you.
Those notes will help you see things you didn't notice so you can do rewrites. Don't have an ego with it. Too many writers are "precious" and think everything they write is brilliant so they don't take criticism from anybody. With that said, don't feel the need to take EVERY note/criticism if you know your shyt and think they might have just misunderstood something or that something flat out won't work or isn't you.
From here, wash, rinse and repeat. ALWAYS be writing. Whether you're a showrunner killing it in Hollywood or a lowly first time writer, there shouldn't be a month in the year that you don't have something that you're working on. The key is to complete what you start. If you're new to it all, everything is good practice. Out of the first scripts you write, you'll want to be able to get 3 gems that you can shop - 1 great spec, 1 killer pilot and another spec, pilot or other original piece of writing that shows your voice, but is different from the other two.
Those three scripts will be your calling card in the industry and you should always be tweaking your portfolio to get it as sweet as it can be. That should be your main goal before worrying about the "who you know" part of Hollywood.
But if you live here, it's impossible to be out and about without overhearing people talking about some industry project they're working on. That makes it easy to network and make friends in the industry regardless of what stage you're at.
In between all of that, you gotta be making your own shyt in this day and age. Whether you shoot a movie, do a 1-minute animated short or make random videos, you gotta show that you can make your own stuff. People want to see more than scripts these days. So even in Michigan, you can be writing scripts and making something to put on YouTube, Vine, a blog etc. I'd be doing that while definitely forming a plan that will get you to Los Angeles so you can accelerate your learning, network and progress.
I'm shooting a web series in about a week with one of my best friends who is also a writer and a comedian. I started a thread on it too:

Jump in the thread so you can follow us on our journey
And once again, if TV writing is something you really want to do,
to you on yoursEDIT:
I forgot to answer the question "how's it going on my journey?"
I'm not a working TV writer, but I'm close breh. Made it to the Top 5 percentile in a new writer's program by Warner Bros. (another thing, apply to those). Gotten some nods of confirmation in my ability from GOOD people in the industry, who have also taken meetings with me and put in a good word here or there. No agent or manager yet though. Hoping my web series opens some more doors for me. Getting booked with my standup also.

well if your constantly jacking off then you will become very desensitized to women and start to lose pleasure from basic shyt like just being around them.
ive had broads texts me shortly after a fap session and the last thing that was on my mind was talking to them. it ultimately results in a mindset of not caring for there company like fuk it i can just fap to some porn
I watch porn clips for comedic value now it seems. Haven't jacked off in over three weeks. Gym recovery time has increased, I feel more focused and more energetic.
Longest I've stopped masturbating has been 27 days. It has a LOT of benefit. Self discipline is our weapon men!
