In Los Angeles, Hollywood creatives struggle for survival. They go to work and try to manage daily life in Southern California: wildfires, earthquakes, traffic. They also have problems.

These creatives are in competition to create the best stories—and they’ll do anything to succeed. They crave praise because, well, what they’re doing is hard. And they hate criticism because it stings. You don’t like their latest story? You obviously don’t get it. That’s what they think. But the next thing they’re doing? It’s gonna be huge—a blockbuster. They hope. Nobody Cares What You Think is about what happens in Hollywood when things don’t go according to plan. 

Note: This is 90 pages and the first part in a series.
