Cranked out 7 pages on the first draft of the action-comedy At p65, which is the p75 plot point in the outline Not stressing Primary objective is to finish it, then go back and work the hell out of it #screenwriting #goodwritingday #notgivingup

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.
