my zig zag cactus is growing buds for the first time ever! and my peperomia is also blooming! never thought i'd be a plant person. i had a lot of false starts and definitely lost some plants, but the collection i have right now is happy and thriving! do not ask how many plants i have right now.

rex likes to sprawl out behind my desk chair and gets run over regularly, but, because he is orange with a part time brain cell, he never learns

this was mine: "The Crash at Crush was a one-day publicity stunt in the U.S. state of Texas that took place on September 15, 1896, in which two uncrewed locomotives were crashed into each other head-on at high speed."

6/? - this reader completely missed the point of this script; it's not supposed to be a flashy, doom-and-gloom apocalypse.

Sarah Marsh | Screenwriter @smarshwrites.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
5/? - sophie directly talks about past life and the guilt she feels for being complicit in creating the world they live in. why on earth would i want to use flashbacks??
100
Sarah Marsh | Screenwriter @smarshwrites.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
4/? - it says explicitly in the script that rory and nora are exes
100
Sarah Marsh | Screenwriter @smarshwrites.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
3/? - why? because he's the only named male character in the script?

Sarah Marsh | Screenwriter @smarshwrites.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
2/? - they accused me of using AI to write the script, but they used AI to format these notes

sharing some snippets from the feedback i got today because it's so funny how the StoryPeer readers are reacting 1/? - they hate the title SO much

here's a snippet from PIECES & PARTS for #FunPageFriday #scriptsky

as a reminder to anyone who thinks AI-assisted writing is okay: you are taking a massive risk that your "work" is unprotectable, legally. and nobody wants to buy that.
From The Dailies: "Copyright for AI-generated text is still a legal gray area, and there's a messier problem underneath: AI writing is essentially a blend of everything the model was trained on, meaning countless other copyrighted works could be baked into the manuscript. Buyers can't be sure they'd own what they're paying for, and nobody wants to bet $2.4M on IP that might turn out to be unprotectable."

while i probably won't actually be finishing my redraft of WET FOOD this week, i *am* caught up (even ahead a day!) on my logline a day for july! logs highlighted in yellow are almost definitely going to be developed into (at least) an outline #scriptsky
