It most certainly has always been a Christmas movie. We watch it every Christmas.

QUESTION: What's your number one feature film pick? Doesn't matter if it was a commercial or critical success or not, as long as you think it exudes greatness, share it in the comments and I'll retweet. Mine... GANGS OF NEW YORK.

My son is teaching guitar online to kids and beginners. If you'd like to learn or you have a child who would be interested, please DM or whatsapp. Details in the video. His rates are reasonable and he's a great teacher. Try a free lesson. #Gravity... by John Mayer(youtu.be/_iGOWk-r614?...)

Plot and character are intimately and inseparably intertwined. Character drives plot, and plot challenges character. Plot isn't just narrative beats , in a larger sense, it's an overarching principle that holds everything together like magnetism. #BookishQOTD 📖🦋 #Booksky 💙📚

Reading this brought a smile to my face Lauren. For a first pass it's great.

If you're stuck, DM. I edit for a low fee. I could probably get it 100 or 105 for you in 2-3 days.

Never heard of this before and just watched the trailer on youtube. All I can say is... wow. Must watch.

Getting these Coverfly emails feels like a relative calling out to me from beyond the grave. #Scriptsky

I recall when I first studied screenwriting I had a woman in my class who was a TV station manager. She kept telling me I had no idea what I was doing because I worked in a hardware shop at the time. Years later, when I was running writing rooms she reached out to ask for a chance to write. Life...

That never worked on X. Does it work here?

Wow you're nearly there friend. Wishing you loads of creative energy.

Javier, how are you sir? I'm still waiting for DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE SEASON 2, and I'm not going to stop. One of the finest shows to grace our screens.

It's a shitstorm. Bring a tough umbrella if you're going to navigate the industry.

Nothing is real. It's all performance and simulation.

Ben Johnson Jr. @thewriteben.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

Maybe it's just a way of filtering. It feels longwinded and bureaucratic.

Ben Johnson Jr. @thewriteben.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

Really? Wow. And the reasoning?

Ben Johnson Jr. @thewriteben.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

It's like he got between writers & Nicholl & negotiated something on his own behalf that now changes the system and affects all writers. I got to the entry forms & saw all that & just thought, screw it I won't even bother to enter. Explain how the change helps, benefits, or serves the writer?

That's a ton of cuteness right there. It should never be used for evil.

Thank you, I'll tell her. I thought they were great too. I like the quirkiness and the fact that they're black and white.

Chronic late bloomer. Took me 40 years just to figure myself out.

Some artwork from my youngest daughter's graphic novel she's working on.

Sounds about right. Let me know how it goes. I'm always interested in editing journeys lol.

Ben Johnson Jr. @thewriteben.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

Jim I feel you. I just want to focus and enjoy creating but the world is topsy turvy at the moment. Hopefully our art will help keep us sane.

Writing fam don't miss out. Great opportunity to hear from someone who's where we want to be. Register and book your place.

Ben Johnson Jr. @thewriteben.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

That's actually great for a first draft. What do you want to be at?

Ben Johnson Jr. @thewriteben.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

Well done Collin. How many pages are you sitting at?

As long as you're doing what you love and it's making you happy, that's what matters.

You definitely look calm, but it is the aura of epicness that I am referring to.

Thanks for the tip Lauren. I'll do the same.

Bit of a slow year but can't complain. Glad to have my family and my health.

This is super impressive work. A labor of love. Slipknot need to hire you.

So very true. I think readers can smell pretense the moment they touch the pages.

THEM: But how do you know you're meant to write horror and supernatural. ME: Dude, I literally find monsters and demons in my meat.

Getting there Janet, so many seeds planted, just waiting to see some fruit. Are you still organizing the table reads?
