With you all in spirit, even if I'm dealing with a little sick puppy and lack of sleep. Is this what being a parent of a one year-old is like? #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Loving the energy I'm seeing around here so far. But do you have it in you for another 360 days? HELL Yeah you do. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

I accomplished a lot in 2025, less than I hoped, but more than I honestly had any right to expect given my sometimes insane schedule. 1/4

My next few days of #5AMWritersClub may be cut short due to burgeoning sickness as well as a medical procedure for one of my dogs. I'll be with you all in spirit, though.

New week, new chance for something never seen before. Impossible, I know. And yet. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

The 1st is always just a day of wonder and possibilities. The 2nd is when we really kick things off. At least in my neighborhood. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

End of the road, and the beginning of a new one. We're going places. Happy New Year's Eve everyone! #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Writing is solitary, but we are not. We're family, kinda. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

We're back! Hopefully you had a nice holiday, and are planning to use the remaining days of the year to prep what you need to start the new year off right. Finish strong! #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Lots to do, lots to do. Another WRITING SPRINT? Yes! In fact, this is the rare supersized 90 minute kind! 90 mins of focused work starts in 14 mins at half-past the hour. Do all of it, part of it or none of it!

If you live in LA and have never seen this? Treat yourself. You will love it!

Merry Christmas Eve to all my lovelies. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Let's see if I can do this without having had a consistent night of sleep. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

A short week! Which means we should put some extra words out. Just in case Santa changed his cookie diet. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

A year ago on January 1, I finally let an idea - an image of an opening scene - out of my head. @minorfracas.bsky.social gave me a gentle push. This stupid book dominated my whole year, but it's finally coming out sometime next year. 😁 #writing #hostages #currentlyediting

We love celebrating our writing community! ❤️ That's why we're doing a Holiday Giveaway! Tag a screenwriter in your life for a chance to win a $50 gift card. The winner will be chosen at random. #scriptsky

Alright you apes, you wanna live forever? #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

The cool thing about writing is you can be anyone but yourself on the page. Or you can be yourself in disguise. It's something to live and work in anonymity and yet your fingerprints are all over it. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

We live in perilous times, but you hold an answer in your mind. Put it on paper. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Make every word count, because sometimes they really do. Write well this morning. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Write against evil. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Exact revenge on yourself for pulling you out of bed to write this early. Write something great, it's best served cold (but with coffee). #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Why don't we try this #5AMWritersClub thing again? Franchise rights are available. Anyone else here? #scriptsky

Just beginning on page 3 will show you're a maverick who plays by a more freewheeling set of rules. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

...then buddy, I've got an orange grove in Pennsylvania to sell you. Or ...then pally, I've got a turnip truck with a guarantee against falling out to sell you. Which one? #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

I don't see why we each can't write something this morning. What harm could it do? None, AFAICS. Unless ushering in the apocalypse is part of the outcome, but how could it possibly? #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

I'm going to throw a few words on the page this morning. Deep in another revision. Join me, won't you? #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Low on wit this morning, so just write, you damn apes. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

We've got a few tricks up our sleeves, including that coal chute your heroes have to use to escape the monster. They used coal chutes in Arizona, right? #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Anyone can write a scene, but can anyone do it like you can? Would anyone else use umlauts in such a saucy, impertinent way? I don't think so. So you do you. Only you can. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

We could just give it all up, but the struggle is the glory, isn't it? Keep wrestling with angels. Let's write something earthly today. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Are we all writing this morning? Sadly, I am not, strictly speaking. I am gathering production paperwork, however, and reviewing actor contracts. So I'm counting it. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Yesterday's missive applies. Do not flag or fail in your efforts this morning, the goal is just ahead! #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Said with love but there is a tone deafness in the "just write your spec!" advice that seems to be totally ignored in the current climate. It works if you're repped. If reps are taking new clients. If places are buying A LOT. If rooms are staffing unknowns/lower levels. If not? It's a platitude.

Write! Write! Write! #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Made it to Friday. I think we all still have a few words in us itching to get out. Let's rocknroll. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Whatever you're working on right now, I invoke the spirit of Raul Julia to give you aid and comfort. It's fine if you don't know who that is. I mean, it's not fine, but we're all adults. It'll be ok. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

oh hey @minorfracas.bsky.social was in this!

We had a chat about the Scripnotes book! #scriptsky #scriptsky+

I need to start writing this third act. My writing partner is working on the second half of the second act. It's interesting to work this way sometimes. Any funny writing quirks of yours you want to share? #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

If you're here, drop a weird gif or emoji that represents your state of mind right now. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Our first setback is that our prop house burned down 😶 www.newrulefx.com

Well, we've got a locked production draft of the script.... It Visits Me

It's your chance to make something new and radical and peaceful and horrifying and edifying and edgy and messed up. Make it up. It's your world. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

Every so often I invite you all to share a little somethin' somethin' about your work -- anything that you're proud of, excited by, or happy how it turned out. Thread is open! #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

When you want to love a project but the script just isn't there yet. Keep going, writer. You CAN make it sing, but you're going to have to put in a few more keyboard miles. #scriptsky

You're up at this hour and you're not going to let yourself or anyone down. Write until you can't. It will pay off one day. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

After a fine Veterans Day (thank you for your service) it feels appropriate to write something courageous and hopeful. Something with valor and martial integrity. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

You have the opportunity to do the funniest thing: Hit that mark. Prove them wrong. Find a neat fix. Upend the narrative. Write your shit. #5AMWritersClub #scriptsky

You've got the touch. You've got the power. You've got #5AMWritersClub and we're not slowing down even if it is Friday. LFG! #scriptsky
