On November 5th at 5:34pm I received an email stating that I must have my completed pilot in the Fox offices by 5pm on November 9th. Of course I have a ton of specs from other shows and my first pilot had many drafts but nothing I was 100% proud of. I tried to get back to it after allowing life to take over and even asked a friend to partner with me to rewrite it. Somehow work, survival was more important. Now, finally...a deadline! I finally got an invitation, or as Fox calls it a "nomination" to apply for the writer's program for Fox and they only accept original materials.
I said to myself, "I'm the only one to blame if I don't do this. I have let too many other things take precedence and now an opportunity has come and I'm not ready!" That is not me. I am NOT the queen of excuses. I have overcome and accomplished much and I know I have much more to accomplish in this life.
At 10:34am on November 9th, after a total of 17 hours, I finished my pilot! I rewrote the entire pilot from beginning to end. At 1:32pm, my pilot was delivered to the Fox offices.
I did it. I needed that to get me back into doing what I enjoy.
Thank you God.

Lisa has a unique way of bending reality with her words. With her criminal justice education and entertainment industry work experience, she’s able to tell a true story from an angle that makes you think. Her pilot Transmigration revisits Jonestown: same ending, wicked twist. Her pilot I See gives a shocking, fictional look at an ongoing, unsolved murder case inside the LASD.
