AND give them a chance to find their audience. Yes, there are far more series than time to watch these days, but that's part of them problem in itself. A quality series will grow by word-of-mouth, and then by the time it does, it's been cancelled. #ScriptSky

Exactly! Kelly's known for being one of the nicest people in the industry, so.... if she's pissed off, the person who's set her off is a probably a POS.

I’ve always heard that! But it seems to be more natural for me and allowing for a more impactful voice on the page.

I feel like I’m in love with writing again since taking the leap into comedy. This bromantic comedy feature is the most fun I’ve had on the page in a long time. It’s NO HARD FEELINGS meets ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO meets I LOVE YOU, MAN. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

You can also say “I’m sorry” at a funeral, and it’s a form of condolence, but say “I apologise”, and suddenly it’s a murder investigation.

If you’re feeling jaded, remember this industry is brutal and you’re doing your best. You aren’t “just” a writer, you’re also expected to be a reader, editor, networker, salesperson and graphic designer, let alone if you plan to film something yourself. Be proud. I’m proud of you. #ScriptSky

Short film script call out. Looking for erotic/sexy thrillers. Ideally akin to The Housemaid rather than 365 Days. A nice location, handful of characters etc. Nothing that requires a super high budget for a short. Under 15 pages would be preferable. #filmsky #scriptsky #shortfilm #filmmaking

22 pages into this comedy feature. It’s either really, really shit, or I’m more natural at comedy than any other genre I’ve taken on. #ScriptSky

Yesss. I write like 20+ versions of it and then do major beats and then I either abandon it or set sail 🥳

Fellow writers, what approach works best for finding your next project? I’m a logline/concept guy myself, but I know others may start with character, comps, setting etc. #ScriptSky

I don't understand the envy/jealousy some feel toward the success of fellow screenwriters. This buisness is brutual enough as it is to be bitter that it's not happening to you. #ScriptSky
