I’m so excited about Wednesday’s Symposium! In an online world, we all need to be concerned about our privacy. For writers and EVERYONE! symposium.pipelineartists.com #writers #amwriting #scriptchat #BookSky #ScritpSky

‼️This is a Symposium we all need. Seriously. Not just for writers. ✅ Get actionable steps to start protecting your privacy, cleaning up your information from the internet, and giving yourself piece of mind. #BookSky #ScriptSky #privacy symposium.pipelineartists.com/event/privac...

New @recklesscr8tive w/ Zack Gutin of Storytelling 360! Sadie Dean and @jeannevb.bsky.social dive into the value of the #WritingCommunity, and Zack has thoughts ... and a plan to build it. Plus, EXCITING news about Sadie! 🥰 www.recklesscreativespodcast.com/1753117/epis... #scriptchat #ScriptSky

If anyone missed #scriptchat this past Friday, it's on tonight on X (5-6pm PT | 8-9pm ET). And #PipelineWriters has officially merged with us. So ... mugs will be given away. #ScriptSky

OK, I'm hopping off. I still have a couple of hours of work to do before I can declare it "the weekend" ... Let me know if you want actual topics for #scriptchat in the future, or if you prefer to just have it more like a party. Have a great month! #ScriptSky

Question: Do y'all want topics for #scriptchat or would you rather just have a free-for-all? #screenwriting #ScriptSky

I don't have any writing wins this summer. I've been quite literally buried in the antique shop. Tossed out 10 tons of stuff—yes, 10 tons. 8 dumpsters. No exaggeration. It's been a beast of a summer. Hoping to get some writing in this month though. If ppl want a #writingsprint, PING ME! #scriptchat

Just a reminder for those rusty at the chat, you need to add the #scriptchat hashtag to your post so peeps can see it. :) #screenwriting #ScriptSky

Who's doing #Spectember? I'm also challenging our #scriptchat peeps to write something that they're nervous to write. Put it all out there. Whether it's a script, novel, short story, etc. #screenwriting #ScriptSky

Btw, #scriptchat is still active on X on Sunday nights. Just so you know. Still trying to get it going here, but it has yet to hit a stride. Giving it one more shot. #screenwriting #ScriptSky

It's #SCRIPTCHAT O'CLOCK! Let's see how this goes. Shout out your wins for the month! #screenwriting #ScriptSky

#Scriptchat tonight, top of the hour! 5-6pm PT | 8-9pm ET Let's see if we can get this chat rock 'n rollin ... #screenwriting #ScriptSky

And ... it's the first Friday in September. That means #scriptchat night! Join us 5-6pm PT (8-9pm ET) All writers welcome! #screenwriting #ScriptSky

I cleaned out my closet. I have thoughts. Writing thoughts. pipelineartists.com/maybe-its-yo... #ScriptSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity #scriptchat

I worked with Karen when I was at Writer's Digest. She both a fantastic human and editor. #BookSky

#Scriptchat tonight on X (Sunday) 5-6pm PT | 8-9pm ET Grab a beverage of choice and join us! Topic, you ask? Who knows. We'll find out tonight. I mean, it's still a hot summer ... and our brains are half turned off. #screenwriting #WritingCommunity

"... when we consume stories showing us the potential of emotional growth, we suddenly believe we can grow, too." Read on #PipelineArtists: pipelineartists.com/un-becoming-... #scriptchat #ScriptSky #BookSky

New "The Story Will Save You" episode with author Karina Evans! @spmjm.bsky.social and I chat with Karina, who shared amazing writing and publishing advice from middle grade to graphic novels. thestorywillsaveyou.buzzsprout.com/2356701/epis... #amwriting #BookSky

OK, we did it! Great turnout tonight, and I thank you all! Next #scriptchat is Friday, September 5th! So ... an early happy Labor Day. My god, time is going too fast. #ScriptSky

Confession: My life is insanely busy, and I'm def struggling to stay as active on socials as I used to ... esp with all the platforms now. So ... I'll do my best to launch #scriptchat here the first Friday of each month, but I might not always be able to be active. Truth? I am exhausted. #ScriptSky

Not sure if anyone is up for a writing challenge, but we came up with a new one for September at last week's #scriptchat on X. If anyone wants to join in, please do! #ScriptSky

Hold please. The pup needs to go out. She has the worst timing. #scriptchat

Curious if you set writing goals for the summer or if you just fly by the seat of your pants these months. #scriptchat

So ... how has everyone been? Is the summer writing going OK or too many distractions? #scriptchat #ScriptSky

We can keep it an open topic or pick something specific. Up to y'all. Let's start by shouting out your wins for the past month! #scriptchat #ScriptSky

It's #SCRIPTCHAT O'CLOCK ... If anyone is around and wants to talk #screenwriting for the next hour. #ScriptSky

We're doing it. #Scriptchat tonight at 5-6pm PT (8-9pm ET) #ScriptSky

8/1 is the first Friday of the month. Know what that means? #scriptchat night. 5-6pm PT | 8-9pm ET Tbh, not sure how long I can keep the chat going on two platforms, but let's give tonight another try. #ScriptSky

New @scriptmagazine.bsky.social Balls of Steel is out. This road is unpredictable. scriptmag.com/balls-of-ste... #ScriptSky #scriptchat

"You have no control over the small, petty minds that inhabit our world." My thoughts are on #PipelineArtists: pipelineartists.com/un-becoming-... #scriptchat #WritingCommunity #BookSky #ScriptSky

Question for #writer peeps: Do you have a second laptop (word processor, chromebook, etc.) that you strictly use for writing .... maybe to help you focus or trick your brain? If so, what are you using? #scriptchat #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Just a reminder that there's no #scriptchat on Friday, July 4th because ... it's July 4th. See you on the first Friday of August! #ScriptSky #screenwriting #WritingCommunity

Psst #BookSky, if you're curious about submitting to small presses and/or literary journals, we have a new Symposium tomorrow with Dennis James Sweeney! Get strategies for achieving your publication goals. symposium.pipelineartists.com/event/submit... #amwriting #amquerying

Since @katemckean.bsky.social is so honest in both her newsletter and her new book, WRITE THROUGH IT (did I say it's out TODAY?), I wanted to share a more vulnerable clip of our recent @pipelineartists.bsky.social Symposium conversation. Then go get her book. #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Today is the day!!! @katemckean.bsky.social's book is out! Take a peek into her mindset in a snippet from our recent Symposium convo (avail to watch or listen on our pod). symposium.pipelineartists.com/event/one-on... #WritingCommunity #writerslife #amquerying #BookSky

Peeps can keep chatting even though the hour is up. I have to get back to work. Next month, there's no #scriptchat bc it lands on July 4th. We'll officially be back August 1st, Friday. But keep using #scriptchat hashtag throughout the week to connect with each other!!! Have a fantastic night!

It's OK to retreat from social for a bit. I did that a while back, and was worried, until a friend reminded me that social is just "10 minutes." Meaning, no one remembers what happened 10 min ago. Take a break and jump back in anytime. #scriptchat

Head's up, we have a free Symposium next week ... an AMA with producer Michael Peterson. Did I say free? Yep. I did. #scriptchat #ScriptSky #FilmSky symposium.pipelineartists.com/event/one-on...

Is anyone struggling with something they'd like advice on? #scriptchat

So, what's on your mind? What are you drinking? What are your goals? What ... time is dinner? #scriptchat

It's #SCRIPTCHAT O'CLOCK! Welcome back. This month flew by ... Shout out your wins for the month. #ScriptSky #screenwriting

Yo #scriptchat peeps ... it's the first Friday of the month! Know what that means? We're giving the chat another shot from 5-6pm PT (8-9pm ET). See you then! #ScriptSky #screenwriting

Last night’s Symposium conversation with literary agent @katemckean.bsky.social was a delight. In case you missed it, you can enjoy the replay here. symposium.pipelineartists.com/event/one-on... #BookSky #writer #WritingCommunity
