When this script is done, it'll be the dumbest thing I've ever written. Might put it on the Black List.

Due to recent developments, I think my White House script matters more than it did before. Every part of what used to be is featured.

FADE IN

I think 1-2 more hours on this map and I'll be ready to go. I'll either win all the awards (Oscars AND Razzies), or get banned from Screenwriting Bluesky.

I'm really close on this. I think maybe another week on the map and I'll be ready to write. This script will be every bit...

Not sure how many posts this will be. I've not been on here very much for a while. I continued to write, and work in the bourbon industry, but I was also working toward something else. I found out Friday, I did not achieve that goal. I had applied for the local police department.

With classes underway, I’ve switched from essays to exams. But with the death of the student essay (RIP, slain by ChatGPT), there’s a larger human tragedy: an erosion of critical cognition and the creation of two sharply divided classes of people: those who learn how to think and those who don’t:

My 2 cents... Audiences, HUMAN audiences, WILL care whether Tilly has a pulse. Human beings want stories conveyed by humans, written by humans, that draw us into human emotions. We even gave the gods of myth human emotions. And those gods fell. In the end, humans want humans.

First draft of the outline complete. Completely outrageous. It will never sell. I'm writing it anyway.

Am I working on a new outline for the most outrageous script I'll ever write? With possibly the greatest logline ever devised? Yes. Yes, I am.

Had to shut down my bank card because someone used it to fraudulently do something at the Yale Cabaret in New Haven, CT. At least the thief is supporting their local arts scene. Can't hate them TOO much for that one.

I am officially a BLINK.

My deepest apologies to anyone who has agreed to read this. After today's rewrite, the page count did increase. 82 pgs. That's what you're getting.

I think it's about time for Bryan Adams to make a comeback.

@bsky.app needs to allow GIF's.

Anyone else on here feel an emotional connection to their characters? Maybe not all, but some? Whether they live or die, even if things work out for everyone, I often hate saying goodbye to them. Maybe they reside somewhere in my subconscious, living their own lives in those worlds.

If I win the Powerball...I'm gonna bankroll some scripts I've read on here. I'll be in touch.

I won't post the logline publicly, but it's post-apocalyptic, and one of my most emotionally heavy, yet hopeful, scripts I've written. Gonna clean it up in a few days, but the page number will be pretty close to that.

FADE OUT...at 81 pgs.

Happy Birthday to @leahfromsd.bsky.social!!!

You know how Spike Lee movies are called 'A Spike Lee Joint?' I use so much music I'm gonna call my scripts 'A Greg Hair Lyric.' The darlings I kill are the songs I decide NOT to use.

Just so we're clear on the actions of a certain 'actor'...that is NOT what Superman would do.

FADE IN

I appreciate @wappelh.bsky.social , @lisalueylutes.bsky.social , and @brownmamba13.bsky.social .

The Trial of Edgar Allan Poe is one of the best scripts I ever read.

Just finished S4 of @thebearfx.bsky.social. STILL the best show on TV. I marvel at the writing, directing, performances, cinematography, needle drops. The emotions it elicits in me. In my Top 10 all time shows. Renew #TheBear for S5!!

I wrote a script that's a love letter to South Korea.

I don't think I've ever truly THOUGHT about it when I was doing it, but I absolutely agree with this. If you really think about it, this makes so much sense. Even if a lot of your script is hopelessness, but it ends on the emotion of hope, then THAT is what you want the audience to take with them.

The final emotion of your movie is the most important emotion of your movie. (a thread) #scriptsky #filmsky

“Trump didn't deploy 2,000 National Guard troops on January 6 when the U.S. Capitol was under siege... But he deployed 2,000 today in Los Angeles.”

Sooo happy for Wendy. She works so hard on her scripts, and in helping others. She deserves this and more.

I hit FADE OUT on a new script recently. The 6 main leads in it all have special needs. My primary goal with this was not to sell it, or for anyone to even like it. What I cared about most was making sure that each of those leads had agency. I hope I achieved that.

It just so happens I know who the very first prisoners should be on a reopened Alcatraz. From the White House to the Big House.

Sometimes you need to take a step back because half your country chooses to touch a burning match to a truck of dynamite. But whiskey helps.

Still here. Still writing. Trump still sucks. Elon, too.

Le sigh...

I support Canada.

Here and gone. Only feet away, but never spoke.

I'm putting this out there because I'm truly at a loss: A couple of MAJOR producers with a known prodco are coming to my work this week for possible product placement in films or something. Not real clear on it. My manager knows I write scripts and has told me not to say anything. Thoughts?

If you get your coffee or cocaine from Colombia, you should stock up in the next 24-48 hours.

Trump is destroying the country... I've not sold one script...and I miss the 90's. Time for a little drinky drink.

Learning that David Lynch left us today is the mightiest gut punch because he truly created unique, hypnotic, challenging, transformative, and sublime work. A true artist to the core. I feel this loss because now we know the end of the catalog. Rest in peace.

From the pandemic to the strikes to the fire, Hollywood crews have been hit hard. @lizalps.bsky.social started this Google doc listing the Gofundmes of our colleagues. If you want to submit a fundraiser link to be listed, please email [email protected]. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Is there anyone who can post one charity connected to writers in L.A. where I can donate?

Just watched WICKED for a 2nd time (this one at home). My assessment remains unchanged: so fucking great. Best Picture of the Year

New script finished. I came in UNDER 120 pgs. That's all I'm saying.
