"Just when I think I've gotten out, they pull me back in [they being The Entertainment Industry]."

Per her own words: Chronically early and overprepared. Cursed to write from cradle to grave. In love, passionately, with all aspects of The Industry. Fascinated by the possibilites and progress of shows like The Simpsons and new classic Futurama, as well as (in particular) Brad Bird CGI PIXAR films. Doubly fascinated by the evolution of a show over the course of development, rewriting, and what is most true to the text, concept, characters, and that star-like interaction. Freelance writer of all things, fiction and non, novels and entertainment, any and all words. Currently freelance TV writer submitting for the love of FOX and animation. Personal stuff: Widowed. Currently engaged. Looks too much like actresses like Kate Beckinsale, Liv Tyler, Jennifer Garner, and the like to be taken seriously at face as a wordsmith and not a pretty face. . . but the worm seems to be turning. Passionate, genuine, and a whole lot better at writing and bringing the funny than she ever thought. Darkish past - use your imagination. Brightening future. Funny as hell. Tough as iron. In sum: best bang for your buck, if you are lucky enough to be staffing (May 2008) right now, and really more imaginative and never wedded to what "she wrote" above what works. For Jen, the work and the words supersede all. She never stops working, when she has the chance, and she loves to collaborate, and has no sensitivity or attitude regarding what does or does not work in any given piece of writing. Appreciates feedback and commentary, applies better ideas to rewrites. Very disciplined. And fucking dirty-smart-sarcastic-funny. Rejeccts personal offense in RE to notes on writing or ideas, as again, she cares more about the piece working organically than whose idea it was (when it's her idea. Remembers other people's great notes and insights, and strives to learn from them). Taught herself to write beat sheets, notes, and all manner of calendars and production projections by watching TV shows with which she was unfamiliar. Like her first requested Spec Script, Jen attempted to write one Beat Sheet for SCRUBS, but ended up writing three (with the TV Specs, she was asked to write one but wrote 4).

Informal, and NC-17 b/c there is a pornography reference. This chick should be courted like Grace Kelly right now. Trivia: is named after porno star Jennifer Welles and AA Milne character Christopher Robin (Robyn is middle name) - born 1977, her father was speeding to the hospital on her birthdate and passed the Pussycat Theater, where "Inside Jennifer Welles" was playing. Jen prefers "Jen," "lbj," or "Lady Scrivener" as monikers. She hates 'Jennifer', and will not answer to 'Jenny.' Since the age of 14, Ms. Welles has written 3 novels, about 100 short stories, 6 scripts (4 TV, 2 film), several articles regarding artists across the country, several articles in reference to darkness of the soul, drugs, minutiae, and heartbreak in real life.

Has been adored professionally at the highest levels in both film and telelivsion but has also failed to fit the mise en scene of independent shingles to which she has been vetted. Keeps on keeping on. Fears her looks shut down opportunities to work in the room away from the camera lens. Most eager to get staffed for FOX's fall 08 season on the American reinterpretation of Australian show Sit Down, Shut Up. Further Trivia: carnivore. skinny, just like that. Once made an email reply joke close to Halloween claiming she was planning to costume as Lara Flynn Boyle since she (jen) was on a stringent budget. Focussed on quitting smoking. Takes every event and meeting she is lucky enough attend as a lesson first and foremost, whatever else happens. Does hope she gets better meeting by meeting. Has been a gypsy chick since the age of 16, living in unknown towns on her own. Favorite place to write: any reasonably clean/priced motel room that is at least 45 minutes away from her residence. Has been favoring such "office spaces" for more than 14 straight years.

Grasps both hard-side irrevence and hard-core straightforwardness. Believes absolutely in the need for dialectic, or key elements or ideas that are defined by their relationship to one another. Has been warning folks about the impending "Touchless Society" propelled by the Internet-Technocracy=Revolution for 12 years. Is pleased Apple seems to get it, with the new format of their personal comm. devices.
