Horror is such an important outlet to process trauma and confront our fears, and the Horror Not Hate project gives marginalized voices a platform to share some much needed catharsis through creativity. I hope you'll check it out & share! #horrorsky www.kickstarter.com/projects/slo...

This is such a good point. We need to document what's happening now for the future, because we can't trust the spin. Current powers want to erase and rewrite history, and the only way to combat their lies is to flood with truth. More physical media. youtu.be/bYhy2ufJllc?...

Hoping I'll finish this rewrite (did I mention I got another one? Days after the last. Is that a good sign? 🤞🤞) in time for the Animal Crossing update, I could really use a braindead weekend, and shaking island trees and chatting up a hippocampus sounds perfect.

I never realized how much I use the em dash until a producer asked that I double check my spacing across my entire script. They were right, btw— I am grammatically inconsistent. (See what I did there? That's incorrect. You want a space on either side — Or—no spaces.)

The goal of a successful logline is to pitch your script in the timeframe an escalator needs to reach its destination. (If anyone knows who created this image, please tag them so I can give them an Autistic hug.) #WritingCommunity #ScriptSky #Logline

I submitted my new draft to producers, and I want to barf-- Don't be concerned, this happens every time. I love the script! It may be the best thing I've ever written. Time to go stare at a wall until I find purpose again (and maybe catch up on my unread email 😬). #scriptsky

Ahhh, she said it, she said the title! Does everyone call it out when it happens in film, or just my goofy household? #filmsky #scriptsky
A tight excerpt from my script reads

"The mug in Mom's hand trembles. She won't look at Maya.

MAYA (cont'd)
It's as if he just vanished... Into thin air... That seems to happen a lot out here."

"Into thin air" is highlighted. It's the working title of the script.

Silly past-me. *NOW* I'm in the home stretch. Rewrite done, I'm 4 pages up (boo!), hoping to carve it down with a quick edit pass before sending it off to producers after Thanksgiving. Apart from the page count, I'm super happy with it! Tentatively optimistic! #scriptsky

I'm in the middle of a deep rewrite on a script I fought HARD to get to 110 on the last draft. I'm working off producer notes, and I know they'd love a script under 100 pages... And so far I've added 6 pages. I keep telling myself it's too soon to lose my mind, there's plenty to cut... #scriptsky

IT'S THE PHONES. For months, maybe years, I thought my eyesight was deteriorating, or my nails were getting in the way, causing more and more typos via mobile. I cant get through a thought without a "thr" or something equally stupid, and all this time I've thought it was me-- but it's the phones!

I was pretty bummed to learn that I was passed up, again, for the cool kids club (the Dead List). Today I'm stoked to be in development with a producer on this script. Not everyone's going to get your work-- That doesn't mean no one will. You just have to get it into the right hands. #scriptsky

AI being shoved down our throats everywhere is exhausting, but I believe it's genuinely a positive signal. Tech companies aren't doing this because it's successful technology that is making them money. They're doing it because it's not and they're not. This is an extinction burst, not real growth.

One thing I've been doing for my mental health is watching people (on YT) watch my fav movies for the 1st time. Watching a gaggle of dudes in their 20s discover My Neighbor Totoro, or your average (not screenwriter-brained) couple watch and discuss The Blair Witch Project is eye-opening &wholesome.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Nothing happens, as there's no time set on it yet.
> set 30 seconds
I don't know the word "seconds."
> set 1
This has no effect.
> press 1
The timer display now reads 0:01.
> press 1:00
Why don't you try setting the timer to that?

You can't see any microwave timer here.

I recently met a person that has never interacted with a cat, and I think that's the closest I'll ever come to meeting an alien. The way she watched my cats, she was so unsure of them. My cats must've noticed, because they wouldn't leave her alone. Then one stole a french fry, & she lost her mind.

My 5yo has been obsessed with Yokai Watch since she was a baby, so for every xmas & birthday, I'd import toys & merch from Japan. Then the idiot businessman wrecking the economy put tariffs on small parcels, so I have to get creative this year. I got started early and handmade her a kappa.
