S5E31 - "Hold On Tightly, Let Go Lightly"

Today's guest, Sally Abbott, has worked in the arts for 35 years. Starting in community arts and working her way up to writing for some of British televisions biggest shows, Sally has so much wisdom and insight to share. In this episode you'll hear why Sally finally feels like she's who she's meant to be at aged 55, how she has found confidence and navigated a diagnosis for ADHD, and what her journey in the industry has looked like. Actors listening will hear why writers can't get you a job (even if a character is literally based on you!), what makes a good self tape for writers watching their work, why 'rejection' is not as personal as we feel, what the process of writing for TV looks like...and why a Stranger Things star was cut from a Casualty episode! The 98% is honoured to feature guests from all walks of the creative life and this episode is a perfect example why. Follow Sally online: twitter @SallyAbbott3 ig @abbott.sally
