Studying, identifying & understanding the difference between a problem and a dilemma has fundamentally changed my writing & how I think about story.

I know this is almost always an “unhealthy” coping mechanism but I also kind of want to “throw myself into my work” while I have a job I actually love who knows when I’ll be able to do this again??

being on deadline is great bc it’s like “if I don’t stop doomscrolling and revise this draft—I’m getting fired!” truly elite, unmatched motivation when you think about it. but tweeting is different! it’s a form of writing, which is stimulating & creative. right?

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

I know one thing. If I were a young blonde, white woman, and a police officer shot me ON CAMERA, my settlement would be large enough to have its own itemized line on LA's yearly budget.

Another thing I hate about AI/ChatGPT is the idea people are like “of COURSE students are gonna use it” which really pisses me off because then I’m reminded how easy academic cheating is now. In MY day, we would still cheat, but you actually had to go FIND the quizlet cards with the answers

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

What are some niche/specific things your show would 100% have if you’re running it? Mine: 1) Actual songs underscoring scenes>>>> 2) Traditional dramatic score 3) Rack Focus shots>>> 4) The “but did you know that I know that you knew what he didn’t know” joke 5) Dramatic ep titles 6) heel turns

Random, Sunday morning, on-the-bike-therefore-lacking- oxygen thought… I love that YA has somewhat shifted towards elevated/prestige TV because that’s a fun space. But I do also miss that classic, CRINGE, nostalgia via second hand embarrassment type of YA Why? Because adolescence IS PURE CRINGE

98% of the writing notes I GIVE are “bigger stakes” 98% of the writing notes I GET are “bigger stakes” so, this is me, your currently procrastinating and unemployed writer friend, reminding you — you can always up your stakes! (YMMV)

I fucked up someone’s pronouns yesterday (no excuse, I fucked up) and a poster kindly reminded me of the correct ones. Listen. You can correct me on that anytime. Correct me on my birthday. Correct me on my deathbed. Because despite what terrible people say, your identity MATTERS.
