Anyone else finding it hard to be motivated at the start of this new year? I’m drained!

Happy New Year, #scriptsky folk Write, baby... write

I got coverage back for my first pilot tonight I was scared to open it as I didn’t want to read potentially tough feedback 2 hours before the new year. I took a chance & opened it. The reader LOVED IT! The notes are easy fixes and far less than what’s working!! #scriptsky #writersky #happynewyear

“EVERY FAILURE. EVERY SMALL WIN. EVERY HOUR SPENT ON A VISION THAT ONLY YOU CAN SEE. THEY ALL COUNT.”

I’ve started watching swat and I like Nichelle but she is usually so wrong then plays like the voice of reason after she causes chaos! 😂🥴

I got new headshots yesterday and the photographer said they would be to me to choose until this evening because we shot 1400 photos 😩 that have to be narrow down to 5!!! Who wants to help me choose?! 🥴🥴

Just an awesome - and highly successful - co-event between The Screenwriting Life and Big Apple Writer’s Meetup tonight. W/ @paulinawarda.bsky.social & @ershew.bsky.social

People say no one helps anyone. Not my experience. My #newbie came into big $ & starting a midwest writers' retreat (low $). Another asked ways to help newbs in his group. 1 writer invited another newb to show him how to design a package to attract actors. Kindness is also small. #screenwriter

Trying to wait until noon before I start sippin 🥴😂

Why the hell is our weather going back up to the high 70’s?! It should not be reaching 80 in November 😳🙃

List 5 famous people you've met but 1 is a lie: Diana Ross Anthony Hopkins President Obama Meryl Streep Christine Baranski #scriptsky+ #scriptsky

Update she came back today and helped me finish it! 😂 it came out decent!

My world shattered in 2010 when I lost My granny! With grief and her bucket list in hand Ive been on a 14 year bucket list journey of healing & self discovery. 1/2 of an item is left to complete! Im fighting for all 60 to get done #scriptsky #writersky #docsky #bucketlist #blacksky #screenwriter

She started it off like she was going to help then ghosted me now I done bought leeks and celery and shit I’ve never cooked with and it look like compost. I just ahead and ordered Taco Bell instead 😩

So my friend texts me & say she’s going to get some healthy foods and im like I should too b/c I wanna make a healthy soup now’s mind you she’s made it before so I’m thinking she gone walk me through it so I send a pic of the stuff why she stopped responding like baby this was not a group project 😂😩

Sunday win: I completed my first pilot today! #scriptsky #writersky #screenwriting

If you see this post a concert picture you took. Does it count if I was apart of the concert? ☺️😍

Ive noticed A LOT of creatives doing the same thing, going through the motions “talking” about what they want with no action behind it. My goals started checking off once the work was behind it. Advocate for yourself. Listening to other ppl and podcasts don’t matter if you aren’t working on yourself

I moved permanently to LA in 2017 but I didn’t lock in to my career until 2021 and what by that is I was physically here and talking the talk of my goal but didn’t ACTUALLY make steps to obtaining them until 2021. Once I made the effort doors began opening I didn’t even realize I should knock on.

Wicked is a visual representation of what it’s like being black for many of us. I cried during the wizard & I of her wanting to be another “color” for the sake of being accepted even though being “green” is her super power. Boy have I battled with that notion many times! #wicked #blacksky #filmsky

I’m Diamond and I show to many emotions

A few more submissions to The Maximum Z Winter '24 Script Showcase brings the current total to: 29 #screenplays 8 #tvscripts Want to add yours to the list? Details here - wp.me/prjnO-8Tz #scriptsky

We should do a group screenwriter cruise out of LA. People can schedule generals before/after while they're there and we can have an all inclusive writer's retreat for less than the cost of a conference. Bonus, you can bring your family. Did you know cruises have free daycare for kids over 3?

What are your writing essentials to have a good writing session? I need a good cup of tea, my writing playlist, and lip gloss then I’m off to the races! #scriptsky #writingsky

London fog and writing! Goal is how ever many pages before I’m over it #scriptsky

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

#newbies # Spec scripts back? Studio bidding wars? $2 mil paydays? Yep! Amazon/MGM just won huge bidding war for Julia Cox's (Nyad) "Love Of Your Life" script. Ryan Gosling attached to produce. Looking for strong actress vehicles. Seems low concept. Hot writer/great script. #scriptsky #screenwriter

Finally some chilly weather in LA! Perfect cuddle weather for me and my baby

And today was a good day

I love me some Olivia benson but babyyy Kay Howard walked so Olivia could run!! #homicidelifeonthestreet #kayhoward #melissaleo

That cancelled TV show I'll never stop thinking about... Westworld.

Good news Friday! I have a new manager!! I doubted myself because I only have one completed script and very new to writing. It was others who said your work is good enough give it a go! 1 really really great script has gotten me more than I could’ve dreamed of! #scriptsky #filmsky #writers #films

What a breath of fresh air Blue sky has been! Feels like everybody at a family reunion but only with family they like! #blacksky

Am I the only one with multiple shorts completed and afraid to release them? 😅😅 I have two just sitting on ice. Here’s a few stills from one of my favorites.

I need to make a new vision board my vision has changed so much since my last one.

I’ve always had a fascination with cemeteries and when I began writing it’s the place I found the most inspiration. I get so many ideas and so much peace there. Whats your go to writing place? #scriptsky #screenwriting

What’s up bluesters!! I’m Diamond an Actor/screenwriter/producer! Few fun facts I love Tea, 90’s movies, and cemeteries!
