One may think a writer's journey to Hollywood is over as soon as they get their first paid writing gig, but that's not the case. In a speech given to kick off the 2014 Film Independent Forum, Jill Soloway chronicled her journey after she'd already written for "Six Feet Under" and served as showrunner for "United States of Tara" and "How to Make It In America." There was still a mountain for her to climb, and even now, she doesn't feel like she's made it -- but she has some advice for anyone trying to live in the world of independent film and television. To kick off her speech, Soloway talked about how just three years earlier she was ready to give up her dreams of being a professional writer and "get the hell out of Hollywood." "Fuck being a writer," she said to a friend at the time.
