Well, shit - finished m my first new script in like a year. That feels good. Anyone want to read a short film? No idea if it’s any good, but just glad to get to ‘The End.’ #Screenwriting #ISawYouAtAFuneral

Managed to find my way to “The End” on another screenplay. By no means a polished article, but there’s a story in there worth dragging out. Time to Kill My Darlings and tear this thing apart. #ScreenWriting #GuiltyAllTheSame #ScriptSky

Pretty convinced that everything I've written in the last six months is not very good - but I'm certainly glad I've got it on the page rather than not. Can only go up from here, right? #Screenwriting #Scriptsky

What is writing, if not having two strong ideas for a feature film, and having no fucking clue how to stick the landing? #Screenwriting #ScriptSky

40 pages down on this new pilot - and I'm certain that 95% is unusable. I'm so back. #screenwriting #scriptsky

Motoring through outlining of a feature and a few pilots in January, and genuinely pleased that it doesnt feel like it sucks. Always good to feel excited about writing again... Lets see how long it lasts. #screenwriting #scriptsky

Battling the calendar to end the year with three pilot drafts to my name. It's awful - but it's on the page, so the work is only half done. Onwards! #ScriptSky #GuiltyAllTheSame

1/ After 125 consecutive days of writing - be it pages, editing, outlining, or tossing all of it out and starting again - I've discovered a few things. For one, I'm better than I have ever given myself credit for. By no means perfect, but certainly on the right path.

Not one for Halloween, but I've found myself dressed as something scary - a writer with an idea that isn't terrible. Better get ready to face my fears! Onwards! #5amWritingClub

Found my way to the two best words for any writer... "The End." Now to find my way to the two most intimidating words for any writer... "Fade In." Onwards. #TheTendernessOfWolves #GuiltyAllTheSame #ScriptSky

How do my fellow writers elevate the execution of their ideas? I feel like im good at having the idea, but then my execution is just "meh." What am I missing? #ScriptSky

Perennially stuck mere feet from unlocking the door, keeping me from being the writer I know I can be. Playing it safe. Unable to take a swing. On the cusp. Afraid to leap. I'll get there -- hopefully. #Screenwriting

Perhaps the greatest frustration on my writing journey to date can be distilled down to this - "A locked door away from clarity." I know im good enough. It's just not yet clicked. I won't stop, no matter the headaches. #ScriptSky

Happy to wrap another pass on #TheTendernessOfWolves Plenty of work to do, but we're on the right track. "A game hunter turned sheriff's deputy finds a new violent purpose in bringing law and order to a town intent on destroying itself." #ScriptSky

Wading back into the wonderful waters of logline development. I feel like Goldilocks. Too wordy. Too vague. Too shit. It's not just me, right? #ScriptSky

This past month has been the most productive and positive period in my writing in years. I've found a consistency and routine that has me thinking more clearly than ever before. It's not perfect, but it's 1% better than before. Onward! #ScriptSky

Forgot how good it feels to type the magic words, knowing a script is in a far better place than before. There's plenty of work to be done, but now the fun part begins. #TheTendernessOfWolves #ScriptSky

The screenwriting community has fractured from what it once was, but I'm grateful to have connected with some supreme talents! @guycrawford.bsky.social @mikeboaks.bsky.social, @joefavalaro.bsky.social @staceycrussell.bsky.social Appreciate you all!

Reflecting on my writing as of late. Keep coming back to "I'm good enough to be good, but am I good enough to be good enough?" Honest answer? I don't know. I also don't know how to get right with that. #ScriptSky

Not to alarm everyone, but it's think I've finally figured out how to write this pilot... 45 pages in. Bring it on! #ScriptSky #TheTendernessOfWolves

I love writing. I love seeing my friends get good news. I hate that I feel like all the effort doesn't amount to much. Progress isn't linear, but it's just as confusing and frustrating. #screenwriting ##ScriptSky

Smashed out the last half of the outline for my next pilot. Keen to get the last half of my WIP done and off for notes. It's rather refreshing to be productive in this last week. #CryOfAchillies ##TheTendernessOfWolves #5amWritersClub #ScriptSky

Also managed to tick over into my most prolific writing day. 28 pages and still going strong. Don't know how good they are, but it feels good to be productive. 💪 #TheTendernessOfWolves #ScriptSky

Halfway down on correcting this pilot. I feel much better about it now. Clearer stories. Better connection. There are still some issues, but the course has been corrected. ##TheTendernessOfWolves #ScriptSky

I desperately need to finish this pilot re-write so I can finally start on this feature that I've spent years putting off. About time I take matters into my own hands here. Do the work. #ScriptSky #TheTendernessOfWolves #Deliverance

I should say, I started this rewrite, got 10 pages in. Final Draft crashed. So I re-wrote those 10 pages. Only for it to crash again. I tried a 3rd time and only got another 5 done. I wrote 25 pages and only have 5 to show. I'm tired. #TheTendernessOfWolves #ScriptSky

My favourite thing about writing? Thinking I have a good idea, getting almost done, and then being terrified it's awful and never wanting it to see the light of day. #ScriptSky #TheTendernessOfWolves

24 pages down on this pilot rewrite. It's not as daunting as I thought it would be. Slowly coming together. By no means perfect, but there's a better chance of getting it right when it's on the page than when it's not. Forward we go! #ScriptSky #TheTendernessOfWolves

Writers with a catalogue, a question for you: How do you keep the progress when the pages aren't flowing? I'm desperately trying to get out of a cycle of lack of progression and self criticism so I can actually write freely. Welcome all tips. #ScriptSky

Excited to see that the changes to the Nicholl have been as well received as a swift kick to the nether-regions. Talk about a train wreck.

If people have any tips on how to make a story less complicated and bloated, I would greatly appreciate any help. Plagued by an incessant need to "do more," and it's hurting my progression as a screenwriter. #ScriptSky

Would anyone be up for a read of my short film? I think there's something in this story and am keen to make the most of it. I SAW YOU AT A FUNERAL - A writer grapples with himself as he attempts to write his most important story yet.
