Saw this article @lisahickey.bsky.social re hearing laughter increasing optimism. Despite the many depressing aspects of #fostercare and the lack of biological attachment, what keeps me positive is his laughter with his friends and our laughter together. goodmenproject.com/featured-con...

Bonobos Are More Optimistic After Hearing Laughter

A new study shows that bonobos, our closest living relatives along with chimpanzees, are more optimistic after hearing laughter.

Love this! Thanks for the great examples. I think good, consistent punctuation is one of the underutilized—and misunderstood—ways to insure your script is clear, easy-to-read, and "voicey". And I personally love dashes and ellipses. Among other things...

That is great Adele! Congrats! And I agree--you are one to watch.

I’ll be discussing which platforms are the best for screenwriters, how to build a following, and what kind of results you might expect to get from just 5-10 minutes a day (which is what I recommend!). #ScriptSky

Wisdom nuggets heard this week at the writers con: -Producers want to connect with YOU -Rewrite for the one producer who makes the decision -After handing over a final script, it's a collaborative project -The movie will never be what it is in your head -Enjoy the process of writing #scriptsky

Hey folks! Are you a #screenwriter with a film or TV project that includes #climatechange elements? The @nrdc-org.bsky.social has an amazing fellowship opportunity -- deadline is Dec 5th. Pls share with your writer communities, these stories need to be on our screens. blcklst.com/programs/202...

Lisa Hickey @lisahickey.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

I haven't done it, but I have heard that advice. The thing is...it will take a long time. So if you are *just* doing it to try to advance with your screenplay, there may be quicker ways. If you're doing it because you you really want to write a book...then go for it.

Every scene in your screenplay should be compelling in its own right. Ask yourself why anyone would find this scene interesting to watch. Why is it fun? Or compelling? Have an actual answer. Few things are more boring than a scene that only exists to get to the next scene. #scriptsky

Great advice. I adore precise verbs. And yeah, emotion over info every time.

Lisa Hickey @lisahickey.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

So many rabbit holes! But I overlap writing the outline with the collection phase. I try to keep moving forward on each step, even if I'm not quite finished with the previous one. Propulsive motion combined with continual tweaking.

Lisa Hickey @lisahickey.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Yes, I create pitch decks for all my scripts—and have been helping others create theirs also. I love finishing a pitch deck and when you flip through it you get the same emotional resonance you would from the film.
