Learning to trust the part of myself that tells me not to do headstands when I'm high.

Just wanted to say what a privilege it was to write in the @nycmidnight.bsky.social #screenwritingchallenge this year. I really struggled, but it made me remember what it feels like to challenge myself.

Where's the button I push that reminds me I'm a good writer and I should keep going? #scriptsky

Said I would write two pages, but I wrote 1 1/2 and then finished the act. That counts, right #scriptsky?

Trying to submit my feature to Page in time for the late deadline, and all I'm waiting on is my husband to finish the proofread!. Will he do it? And will I have time to make those changes? Tune back in tomorrow to find out.

I opened my laptop to write. I want to write. I want to see what story I can create, but I'm afraid of what'll come out of my fingertips. I'm afraid it will show me what a failure I am. What if I ate? What if I looked into why my foot hurts when I stand? Maybe I'll stop wanting to write.

This is so profoundly and unfathomably evil. The Zionist state is erasing anyone capable of telling the world the truth about what they have done in Gaza. They are committing genocide. Do not give them what they want. Speak the truth loudly and clearly.

Anxiety sucks because on one hand it's right about the worst case scenario, but on the other hand you deserve to imagine the best case scenario is possible, but anxiety never lets that one stay.

I got a coverflyx review back that was so unbelievably rude and unhelpful, gave me an average score of 1.5 on the overall, but then said "I think this has bones and I could see it on netflix but it needs a page 1 rewrite"... how delusional am if I think this guy is jealous?

The best writing advise I've ever gotten: You can't trust the fans or the haters. But man do I prefer the fans.

I think it's important to share failures as much as success, so to honor that, I'm sharing what it was like to get rejected from an MFA program: carlypandaz.substack.com/p/i-didnt-ge...

If you like to read ebooks (like I do!) and said ebook is not available on Libby or similar library apps, you don’t have to buy from that rainforest-named conglomerate anymore! @bookshop-org.bsky.social is now selling ebooks!

A two panel screenshot from The Good Place where Janet is speaking to Chidi while Michael stands behind her. 

In the first panel she's holding up a finger, grinning, and saying, "Fun fact: Columbus in the Bad Place" 

In the second panel she's saying, "Because of all the raping, slave trade, and genocide."
