The innovators’ spirit of America still exists. However, there is a narrative in America which goes like – you must go to MIT to get your calling card. Or you go to Harvard and then you drop out and then you’ve made it.
No one cares about your ideas. They’re not going to come knocking on your door looking for ideas. They’re going to want some concrete evidence that you have the potential to serve them or give them value for money. So that’s my advice: write your spec scripts, no matter what.

When people write a novel, they want to have that reach and that impact. To get it with a first novel, you can either see it as an albatross or a calling card.
I had a blog where I tried to be transparent while giving away nothing. I tweeted and Facebooked badly. As a writer, your ‘voice’ is your calling card, yet my voice was becoming indistinguishable from billions of other voices.
I would be a rich man if I had a quarter for every time one of my Republican colleagues on the Foreign Relations Committee utters some variation of the sentence, ‘President Obama doesn’t have a strategy to defeat ISIS.’ It’s their calling card on the committee – and on the campaign trail.
