Nice to get some feedback like this. Probably the most high-concept script I’ve written yet. Chop wood, carry water.

Poster for a new horror spec. Second new draft of the year. I fuckin’ love writing. Chop wood, carry water.

First page of my take on a haunted house story where the real threat isn‘t the home but the realtor selling it. Logline: “When their breakup forces them to sell their dream home, a dysfunctional young couple suspects their eccentric realtor is concealing a horrifying secret.” #scriptsky

When I wrote my first novel, it was dystopian fiction. It wasn’t written well — that of a young, inexperienced writer — but some of the shit I put in that book… I might need to rewrite it and republish it.

And we’ve got a first draft. First new spec in awhile, first new spec of the new year. Feels good to finish something. #scriptsly

Year end roundup. Some of my favourite books I read this year. Some revisits, some new discoveries:

Rest in peace to the person I used to be. Five years ago today, I quit drinking. I didn’t achieve anything professionally this year, but I did accomplish this, and above everything, this is what matters most. Chop wood, carry water.

Why buy a book shelf when you can make on yourself? Finally got ‘em all out of storage. Misery Pit (my office) feels complete now.

New draft of a very exciting rewrite sent off to my manager. Time to burn the old one. Fuck, do I ever love rewriting. Made a fresh poster for it. #scriptsky #screenwriting

Had a great time chatting ‘bout my path into screenwriting at Hamilton Film Festival with Hamilton Film Board this past weekend. Being on a stage without violently loud amplifiers drowning out my voice was strange but still a good time. #screenwriting

Dead List day is always a good day! Some wild loglines on here to sink your teeth into and, speaking of teeth-- Stoked to have something a little different on the Dead List this time around. My body horror short story, The Thing With Teeth, is available to read! #TheDeadList

I tried to get away from that trope in a recent script, haha. Used a digital picture frame instead.

Another day, another draft of a short story. Idk, man. Writing, without a plan, for the sake of letting the mind take over narrative control, just feels right. #writing

Long walk through Toronto today to make some pictures. I can’t believe I caught the first one. What a thrill it is learning and experiencing joy through a new art form.

It’s funny how, before sobriety, when bleak things built up in me, I’d choose self-destruction to escape, but now, it’s all creation and embracing it like some vital, extra limb I tried, for too long, to sever. A poet in no hurry, these days. Some signs of life, recently. #photography #fujifilm

I think about this Raymond Souster poem at least once a week and every time it curls back out from my subconscious, it makes me shudder.

New camera day. Upgraded to an X-Pro 2 with a Fuji 16mm f2.8. Got the bundle a steal. Very excited to go out and shoot. Coupla' shots from the train home with it. #photography #fujifilm

Stoned by the fire, watching one of my favourite films — Revolutionary Road — and burning evidence of nearly two years of work, the final pass. Rituals, man. We all got ‘em. Summertime never felt so beautifully bitter.

One final pass on this absolute nightmare of a body horror movie and, of course, I had to make a new poster for it. #screenwriting

Just about every scene in Cure does it for me but this one in particular left me absolutely shook for some reason, haha.

Very stoked my horror feature, OTHER HALF, made the @scriptpipeline.bsky.social Quarterfinals. Sometimes turning personal hells into vividly horrifying stories pays off. A total fuck-it script. www.theonlywriterever.com

Phone reminded me of this poem I wrote a few years back and well, it certainly feels hauntingly strange reading it again all these years later. #July4th #Poem #Poetry #Canada #North

Happy Bourdain Day to those who celebrate. If I still drank, I'd pour one for him. Instead, I'll smoke a cigarette and read some of his work. Rest easy.

It's funny how we work unconsciously. Realizing now that my recent urge to take up photography intensified after getting glasses and crossing into my thirties. Permit me some bleak language - I think it's become a practice in accepting death. I think that's what all my creativity has been about.

Stoked to have my horror feature, POWDER KEG, on this list. Imagine Ari Aster made Black Swan set during Little League tryouts. Logline: “A troubled teenager struggles to maintain her sanity when she’s pushed to her limit during tryouts for an all-boys baseball team.”

What’s a movie you think nobody but you and a handful of people have heard of, that you think is a fantastic film? I will endlessly scream about this devastatingly beautiful and haunting film. More people need to see it.
