Researching query targets for my script = exhausting, mystifying, shot in the dark. Anyone have leads on producers/managers actually reading cold queries right now? STEALING SPIELBERG — bullies, a stolen list, summer 1983. 🚲🐊📽️ #scriptsky #query

Laugh tracks are lies.

Zzzzzzzzzz

Kurt Vonnegut was the commencement speaker at Syracuse in 1994. He shared this, and I think about it often:

Thinking is writing. #scriptsky #writing

Another industry download for Stealing Spielberg. Let’s go! #scriptsky

That feeling you get when you share a script partly inspired by experiences you had with a super close friend growing up and they tell you it made them cry (in a good way): #Scriptsky #StealingSpielberg #TheFeels

Finally caught up and watched Project Hail Mary. I dug it. Note: after selecting the attached gif, I think his thumb should be upside down. :)

every hometown’s got the ominous megastructure, what’s yours?

Press’n Seal 💪 🏆 Saran Wrap 🤮

Cubs starting rotation = Spinal Tap drummers.

Pace of the story is near perfect, with the opening prompting more than enough intrigue about Henry's family situation and Drew's stealth mission... inciting incident occurring just long enough that the audience can understand the stakes of losing this list. -Industry reader on Stealing Spielberg

Screenwriters: where do you host your scripts now that coverfly is gone? Do you host them anywhere? Your own website? Elsewhere? I've seen lots of options. Curious what everyone else is doing. Would love to hear pros and cons. Thanks! #scriptsky #screenwriting

Homemade cards are the best! Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

8 1/2 hours in the car today. Crossed the Mississippi 3x and went through 4 states to get home. Tired.

Drove 3 hours in pouring rain.

Vomit drafters—how do you do it? In one sitting? Set page goal per day? How long does it take you? #scriptsky #filmsky #screenwriting

Remembering the time I left the house with two different shoes on. Didn’t realize until I walked inside the library. They weren’t close in style at all. 🤣 #twoshoes #lostinthoughts

Do you like key lime pie? Do you like after dinner drink? This is amazing: 2 oz Maior (gin based botanical), 1 oz simple syrup (we had one with vanilla), 2 drops of Vanilla extract (no more needed) and one whole lime squeezed (ours were small so I squeezed two). Shake over ice. Enjoy!

I spent an hour researching old dairy barns today. What did you do that you didn’t expect to do when you woke up today?

Huge lightning storm this morning in Springfield, MO. Captured this still from a video I took. #storm #lighting

We don’t usually see each other’s headers. Here’s mine. Quote post with yours.

Free baseball.

Late night pondering written down and read this morning: The real defense against “I’ve seen this before” is execution, not premise. Character specificity, tone, what the story is really about, emotions conveyed make it feel inevitable rather than derivative. #scriptsky #pondering

Anyone point me in the right direction to find a copy of the script for We Are Marshall? Thanks! #scriptlibrary #scriptsky

Reaching out... sing it with me...🎶

Just took a huge swing with two email queries. Going for it. #queries #scriptsky

Sending out more email queries lookin’ for someone to champion Stealing Spielberg. Who wants in on this fun script? Lemme know! #scriptsky #screenwriting #filmsky #spielberg

Just had a story idea pop up right after working out. Hard to pull over to jot it down before I lost it. #screenwriting

Saturday night fun: select all in email junk folder and… wait for it… hit delete. So, so, so satisfying. #iamold #iamboring #cabinfever #thisisfifty+

Driveway visitor this morning.

This is fantastic. Read the comments for link to interview. Too good.

Just had young guy to come and give me an estimate on doing some yardwork. I usually do my own yard care but hurt my back a couple weeks ago so no go. He mentioned seeing me spreading mulch in the past years in the front yard and said he was impressed by my efforts. Hired on the spot. :)

And another industry download of Stealing Spielberg… let’s keep it going. #scriptsky #filmsky #Spielberg #blacklist

This photo pretty much sums up our trip to NYC last week: two broadway shows, two hotels, subway rides, Central Park, fancy lunch, pizza, meeting up with a cousin, and a fantastic wedding for cousin on otherside with kick@ss band to wrap it up! Made some great memories! #blinkofaneye #goodtimes

Making a list of hockey movies I’ve seen: Slapshot (1977) Youngblood (1986) The Mighty Ducks (1992) Mystery Alaska (1999) Miracle (2004) Any other must see hockey flicks out there? #filmsky #scriptsky #hockey

Typed “random” in gif search and this was the first one that showed up.

Um, Threads? You wanna try rephrasing that suggestion?

For my birthday I would LOVE to see the FAIRY DUST trailer hit 1000 views on YouTube before the end of the weekend. We're already at 671 views. Can you help me reach that goal by sharing the trailer on your own page and telling your friends about the film? youtu.be/Ne8YwLLnYag #scriptsky #filmsky

Ok. Not sure I've shared this one before... but here goes: First page of Bury Me At Phantom Ranch: #FirstPageFriday #FirstPageFridays #scriptsky #filmsky.

Hearing more and more stories about audience members throwing things (phones and such) at singers on stage. Might be time to bring back the chicken wire!
