• Onthevergitis: (un-thuh-verg-eye-tus) Noun – the condition which can occur when writers live and die by the sale of a particular script. This condition has been known to create at least anxiety, and in some cases extreme inertia, paranoia, envy, jealousy and inactivity. Suggested treatments: socializing, networking, attending events and classes, helping others, writing more, conducting or participating in table reads, acting classes, directing class audits and most importantly living a balanced life, to name a few.
