The best part of writing a story featuring feral hogs is all of the ridiculous feral hog footage I'm finding. This will be an ongoing thread.

peek / peak is the #1 typo/misspelling I see in student screenplays these days. It hurts me every single time.

Here is an interesting adjective quirk that you probably aren’t even aware you are doing. In English, adjectives seem to follow a specific order: opinion - size - age - shape - color - origin - material - purpose - noun

Bad: sucks for me! Good: I will have forgotten the complete existence of this article and study twenty minutes after reading it.

Only hate watching The Traitors from this point forward

This is why I do not repost trending information for at least 24 to 48 hours. It’s almost impossible to know what the fuck is true anymore!

There are 395 incarcerated firefighters helping combat the wildfires in LA right now. They earn up to $26.90 over a 24-hour shift.

Happy Wintery Mix Day to those who celebrate.

I took this development workshop last year and it is truly amazing – leveled up my one pagers and pitches, and gave me a methodical system for how to do it.

If you’re thinking about signing up to my low cost coaching programme now’s the time. I’ll never be able to afford to run it at this price again but I wanted to start this year enabling those I care about to access support to make the work I’ve dedicated my career to. www.lilyeinhorn.com/re-inspire

As someone who is annoyed by both Great Man Biopics and Bob Dylan hagiography, I really enjoyed A COMPLETE UNKNOWN. It was the opposite of what I expected (complimentary). I want a whole movie about Pete Seeger as played by Ed Norton.

My career got jumpstarted by the HBO writing fellowship – it’s heartbreaking that these pipelines are being dismantled.

Sure digital promotion is great but there’s something so satisfying about getting these in the mail.

My puppy is just done with today.

It’s time for the studios to come off the sidelines. After this industry has spent decades fighting piracy, it cannot stand idly by while tech companies steal full libraries of content for their own financial gain.

I was doing my O&M training blindfolded and a guy in a passing car yelled (joking), "Hey lady, get out of the road!" and I waved and smiled. My trainer said, "Oh did you know him?" and I snapped, "NO THAT'S JUST WHAT MEN DO and if I don't smile and wave THEY MIGHT KILL ME."

The beautiful thing about the movie Galaxy Quest is that I’m only somewhat sure Alan Rickman was acting and not just deeply irritated to be in the movie Galaxy Quest

I was 17 and went to the video store with my dad and picked out Fargo thinking it was going to be a normal murder mystery. We watched it with my proper southern grandparents and everyone was so uncomfortable but we were a frozen, rigid family so no one turned it off and we watched in total silence.

PSA: WOMAN OF THE HOUR is not a fun, cat-and-mouse thriller despite what the trailer looks like - it is a harrowing story about a serial killer murdering women for years unchecked, police indifference, and no one believing the survivors and witnesses bc misogyny. Have fun! (aka lie awake all night)

This is an incredible list – there are fellowships and programs on here that I had no idea existed and I try and keep up with this stuff for my students.

OK I’m sorry I made fun of all the Animorphs covers when I worked at a bookstore – now I will stand up, hand over heart and pledge my fealty to the kid who turns into a badger.
