There's a restaurant near me where Washington and his men dined the night before crossing the Delaware to fight the Battle of Trenton. I eat there the night before every family fight I see coming.

I know the venue has professionals recording this with $20k cameras, but my shaky iPhone 11 footage from Row 137 will definitely be better. So I must film the entire show.

Producer said my 214-page screenplay couldn't possibly come in under 2 hours. So I hired an actor to read the dialogue and prove it.

A screenplay is a contract between the screenwriter and the reader. So if I get to the end and don't like the conclusion, I immediately sue the writer.

One of the trickiest parts of parenting is forcing your interests on your kid. But it's also one of the most rewarding. For me.

You call your parent in a rest home dealing with neurodegenerative disease & you tell them about your writing career for a bit & then you wonder who's really losing their mind here.

88% of all correspondence between writer friends is explanations why one hasn't read the other one's script yet. And that's just fine.

I keep coming back to this: Notre Dame's two losses were by a combined four points. Their most recent loss was on September 14th. Alabama lost by 21 yesterday.

PARENTING TIP: set timer like "we'll do this for 10 minutes" then set the phone timer for 4 minutes. and so on. I get 26-hour days with this method.

It was an idea that I was confident in enough that I told myself I'd cold call prodcos or managers with it when it was done. I hadn't done that in a long long time. But, you know, desperation and all that.

I was actually surprised at what was the most popular. A dark, twisted Fargo type premise set in the world of the NBA front office. Pretty big hook.

I really didn’t have many connections, despite having one film produced. But I had a few producers and other writers I could email, so I sent out a sheet of loglines to anyone who would vote.
