The library isn't your mommy or daddy. Nobody is forcing you to check out any books. Nobody is forcing you to read any books. If you don't like a book, don't read it. If you don't want your kids reading the book, grow up, be a parent, and choose a different book.

Latest on the action-comedy spec Wasn't happy w/how a scene/sequence was playing out, so went back and rewrote it. Good fix for now. Back to "It's a first draft. Don't obsess. Just write it" mode #screenwriting #goodwritingday #notgivingup #ScriptSky

So a Democratic president can ban Fox, Newsmax and other right-wing reporters from the WH and Republicans are good with that since they are apparently good with that precedent now?

A fucking men. It's hard to fathom that a country with so many resources is bent on funding the war machine while its citizens go hungry and live in cars or on the street. Nobody gives a shit about your billionaire buddies, Traitor Trump. Stop worshipping this vile child-rapist, MAGA.

While looking for earlier outline of current project, I found an email from 2015(!) from a "pro screenwriter" who trashed my writing, said I didn't know what I was doing, and was wasting my time I keep a printed copy as motivation, inspiration, and a reminder to ignore schmucks like him #scriptsky

If a #screenwriter announces on social media that their #script made 2nd Round at @austinfilmfest.bsky.social, I will hit 'like' for that post whether or not I know them or are connected to them Because any kind of success doing this deserves to be recognized #screenwriting #community #scriptsky

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

Took a slight detour for work on the fantasy-comedy rewrite, which involved a new scene w/new jokes Might add to the page count, but I don't care. Can always be trimmed later Just really enjoyed doing it #screenwriting #goodwritingday #scriptsky+
