This is really on the BAFTAS and the BBC. The most racist and ableist thing that happened that night was actually both entities not bleeping it, not doing after care with Delroy and MBJ, and not fully acknowledging it on the broadcast. 1/

I know you're feeling stressed out about the industry. But there's something you should remember that should bring you comfort. AI isn't a better writer than you. And it is absolutely, 100% unable to steal your screenwriting job. And that's because right now you don't have one #scriptsky

Was watching FORREST GUMP the other night, and I have to admit, I was really caught off guard when he said this #scriptsky

My birthday has already past, but I did publish a birthday post on my blog again. Sorry that it's a bit of a downer: www.craiggusmann.com/39-on-lost-t...

Roses are red Violets are blue Your movie sounds like my script So I'm going to sue #scriptsky

Exciting weekend we have ahead of us. Today is Friday the 13th, a day when many writers will be working on a horror script because they feel inspired. And tomorrow is Valentine's Day, a day when many writers will be working on a romcom script because they don't have a date #scriptsky

Professional script readers be like: “This is good but the script I read 6 weeks ago was a masterpiece, so PASS” #scriptsky

I love screenwriting SO MUCH Finding a concept is FASCINATING Developing a plot is DELIGHTFUL Shaping a character is STIMULATING Thinking up dialogue is THRILLING Writing a logline is Choosing a title is CAPTIVATING #scriptsky

So many spec sales in the last few weeks. My plan to turn the public against franchise films so their box office would drop and studios would start getting desperate and asking for original scripts again, dramatically increasing my chances of a sale, has worked like a charm #scriptsky

I wrote an acclaimed biopic about Donyale Luna, the first Black supermodel – whom Zendaya honored in a spectacular photo shoot a few years ago. I think Z would be a perfect fit for the role, so @Zendaya, if you want your first Oscar nom, have your people call my people! #Zendaya

I'm at a loss for words. A video of myself building a table from IKEA and eating IKEA meatballs on the table just received a 90-minute standing ovation at the 48th annual Sundance Film Festival. They’re saying that it has inspired people to start making their own furniture again #scriptsky

Accepting my Oscar in five years: "Thank you to my family, my friends...and finally, most importantly -- my snacks. They kept me going when I was tired and uninspired. To Chobani Greek yogurt and Fiber One brownies -- I would not be here without you" #scriptsky

Feeling kinda frustrated right now. People keep telling me that the character names in my new crime thriller script are too on-the-nose, but I’ve looked them over and over, and honestly, I just don’t see it #scriptsky

I am absolutely THRILLED about my nomination yesterday. If you had told me as a little boy that one day I would grow up to be selected by my peers as one of the 5 Most Desperate Screenwriters of the Year, I would never have believed you. But look at me now #scriptsky

I know most people do their favorite movies list at the end of the year, but I don't because I'm a rebel. Ahead of tomorrow's Oscar nominations, below are my top movies of 2025. What were your faves? 🎥 #scriptsky

Happy 2026 #scriptsky

To my comedy writers out there – with everything happening in the world, I hope you’re still motivated to create. Because as they say, laughter is the best medicine, and we could all use some right now. So step up - the world needs your dick jokes and fart jokes more than ever #scriptsky

Wishing you whatever your version of happiness is in 2026!

I don’t care what progress you made in your professional career in 2025. If your biggest accomplishment this year was just remaining hopeful in the current world we live in, I’m proud of you. #scriptsky

I was thinking about how hard it is to break into a career as a screenwriter, and you know what’s funny? Nothing. #scriptsky

This year was tough. I was starting to think I'd never sell anything. And then last week, I did. I'm nervous about what happens next, but the good news is I should be able to manage fine with one kidney #scriptsky

I don’t care what progress you made in your professional career in 2025. If your biggest accomplishment this year was just remaining hopeful in the current world we live in, I’m proud of you. #scriptsky

OLYMPIANS SAVE THE WORLD After the world's militaries are decimated by an alien invasion, a desperate U.S. military recruits Olympic athletes to fight back. #screenpit #scriptsky

A reminder that the key to writing is getting the very best out of your brain, but in order to get the best out of it you have to take care of your mental health. Stress, concern, and depression will take a toll on your work. So always make sure to take care of YOU and you'll get your best work.

My little nephew wants to be a writer like me (I'm so proud). I was just in his room and stumbled across the letter he wrote to Santa. It's just so adorable

THEM: We’d like to buy your screenplay for six figures ME (jaded after waiting a decade for this to happen): Oh hey, that’s cool

You say you're having trouble writing your masterpiece. But you need pain to make masterpieces. And you guys aren't hurting enough. So break a bottle and step on the glass. Grab a hot baking dish without mitts. Have some surgery without anesthesia. You need to start suffering now #scriptsky

This year I wrote a letter to Santa Claus saying that all I wanted for Christmas was a screenplay sale by Christmas. I've had close calls, but there’s only one week left. So if nothing happens by next Thursday, you know what that means. Our parents are lying pieces of shit #scriptsky

Merry Christmas to all my fellow TV writers:

A writer named Harrison Query has sold two spec scripts within the past 2 weeks. This is EXACTLY why I keep telling you guys you should all change your last names to "Bidding War" #Scriptsky

Told my husband that I WILL NOT end 2025 without a manager With just a few weeks left in the year, I’m very happy to announce that I kept that promise, signing with two fantastic reps at Untitled Entertainment just a few days before Thanksgiving. If I pinch myself any more, I may bruise #scriptsky

It’s Small Business Saturday! My shop has a bunch of hilarious books and fun gifts! Fuck AI!

Just got a reply from an agent who read my script. I'm not happy about the pass, but I appreciate his honesty

Just a quick reminder for the holidays. People don’t have to explain to you why they don’t drink. So don’t ask why. Also, people don’t have to explain to you why they drink too much. If I’m on my eighth glass of Jack and Coke, don’t ask me why. Just mind your business, okay? Jeez

Superman, Thunderbolts, Captain America, and The Fantastic 4 all came out this year, but to me, the bravery of those characters doesn’t compare to the heroics of these superheroes in One Battle After Another

It takes 10 years to break into Hollywood. This means that after 10 years of trying you will be automatically welcomed into the industry with open arms. So if you've been depressed about a lack of success for a decade, please check your e-mail -- there should be some good news #scriptsky

Comedies spec scripts are hot again. So are erotic thrillers. So are psychological thrillers. So if you want to maximize your chances of selling a script by the end of the year, you don't have any time to waste. Start writing your erotic psychological thriller comedy right now #scriptsky

The worst thing about being an artist is that you get rejected so much. The best thing about being an artist is that you get rejected so much that you become extremely numb and at a certain point you’re so dead inside you can't be hurt anymore #scriptsky

Got a read request from a manager for my comedy, so I'm gonna spend all weekend imagining him curled up on his sofa with my script and laughing until he's on the verge of tears so I can prepare myself for the inevitable heartbreak when he gets back with "it's not for me" #scriptsky

Do I think a movie I wrote will win Best Picture at the Oscars someday? No. Do I think it will a Best Screenplay Oscar? Probably not. Do I think it will be nominated for Best Screenplay? Unlikely. But do I think I'll at least sell it for a large amount of money? Also no #scriptsky

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.
