Thanks!
Thanks. It's not that easy to balance but also not that hard. If I'm writing pilots, as long as I sell them in LA first, I can manage my time between writing and poker well cuz I can write on planes and hotel rooms and skip a few tourneys if I'm under the crunch. It's much harder with a show in production. On Weeds I was there for 8 years from 2005-2012 and I could never play the main event cuz we were in production but finally in 2011 I said to my boss Jenji who created the show that I needed to play the main event this year. She was cool with it and I went super deep. I also told her that if I won, I would by everybody on the staff a segway so she said ok.
