#WritingCommunity, describe your script poorly #ScriptSky WARDROBE MALFUNCTION A wardrobe stuffed with Swarovski jewellery turns Time Machine and takes a spoilt rich girl into the past where she meets a punky assistant professor of physics. No meet-cutes are hurt in the process. 🤷‍♀️

My work emails are always very thoughtful and I make sure that my voice shines through… “Whoever stole my coffee cup, I will find you… I do have a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.” #scriptsky

I spent 3 days transcribing 1 hour and 44 minutes of a conflict resolution meeting with 11 people into Final Draft. Every ummm, and ahhh and ‘you know’, interruptions, talking over each other and moments of silence. Intense and at times even unintended comedy wearing out the em dash key. #scriptsky

Pffff! Came up with an idea for a series/pilot based on the interaction with a Chinese co-worker whom I called Firecracker (reasons) and she called me Tiger Woman. Tiger Woman and Firecracker - great title... searched interwebs. Show called "Firecracker (2024) " exists! #scriptsky /Rumpelstilzchen

I have a humanitarian award winning death row lawyer friend who volunteers her counsel. For years she has flown to the US to try and get people off death row, yes for free. She won’t travel to the US now in fear that she’ll be snatched and detained at the airport. A lot of us are staying away. ❤️‍🩹

Captain Renault: ‘What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?’ Rick: ‘My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.’ Captain Renault: ‘The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.’ Rick: ‘I was misinformed.’ One of the best deflections ever. Q: what brought you to Bluesky? 🦋 #scriptsky

For three months, since the bat bite, I have been on tenterhooks as they got the injections wrong and my blood showed no immunity. The last booster did it!!! I’m now super-immune to rabies… never in my life I thought I’d say that, especially in a country that supposedly has no rabies. 🧚🏽‍♀️

Years ago (over 20) I had an idea for a dystopian, new world order novel. It’s been marinating for a long time. Recently (last 2 years). I have started putting my marinated thoughts on paper. What are your thoughts on going straight to mini-series? #scriptsky

Hmmmm, I feel like a whole lot of Twitter garbage has just landed the last few weeks. Like the stupid arguments, little tiffs, and emotionally loaded videos to jerk a tear or two…and even the responses feel like they repeat themselves. It’s more seeing repetitions that gives me an eery feeling.

An interested question. Any ex or current coders or code developers out there on #scriptsky? Do you feel it benefits your writing? I have done a bit a long time ago and I honed my brain to hold many strings of thought (logic, scenes, characters, ideas) in my head while focusing on the task. 🧚🏽‍♀️

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

Went to see Project Hail Mary at a sneak preview session last week. I waited months for the movie to come out. For me the movie lasted 20 seconds, time flew past. I read the book and felt the anticipation building. Now when are they doing "Artemis"? The second book by Andy Weir? #scriptsky

I got over my resistance to take on one reader’s excellent advice for my TV pilot. Only took 4 years to acknowledge she’s right. Now, I just gotta kill a guy, kidnap a woman and have a quick flash back. All that on the last two pages. Fingers crossed and hope it works. #scriptsky

Have your characters ever asked for more page time? Mine have. Reading through a draft or writing a scene, a character will literally ask, "What about me?" Or have you ever late named a character because all of a sudden it dawned on you that they actually could solve a story problem? #Scriptsky
