I had writing plans today. I have two finished scripts to edit and one first draft to finish by the end of the year. But The Diplomat is back. So that’s my day sorted. 😂 #scriptsky

Well that was fun So.Cal. The My Shake app just blared unexpectedly during the middle of a conference call about practicing Drop, Cover and Hold On. It’s time for the annual Great California Shakeout. Always good to be prepared.

Really want to cut four pages from this feature. Time to trim some widows. ✂️💪🏻😂 #scriptsky

Let Freedom Ring. My new feature with the comps The Beekeeper meets Dexter if they lived in The Handmaid’s Tale is done! And now going through my fabulous writers group. No one domestically will likely touch it with a thousand foot pole but it’s a killer sample. 💪🏻 #scriptsky

👇🏻Great info here👇🏻

I’ve never played the game so don’t know the story but I’m really enjoying Halo on Netflix.

Late Show with Stephen Colbert! Yes! #EmmyAwards How he asked about jobs for his 200 person crew was fantastic. “If the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor!” ❤️ #scriptsky

👇🏻 About those notes…👇🏻

I wrote a redemption arc for an antagonist but decided AFTER the first draft was complete that leaning hard into the character’s awfulness instead and getting rid of the redemption arc tells a more powerful story. Re-writing tomorrow. 😂😩 #scriptsky

👇🏻 Always insightful 👇🏻

Every screenwriting book … ‘don’t be afraid to kill your darlings’. The writers of Foundation on Apple TV…’Hold both my bottles of beer. We’re two fisting it through this show.’ 😂😩 S2 finale was gut wrenching. And so damn good. #scriptsky

Anyone else still getting notifications from Coverfly that your script has moved up in the rankings? I thought they were gone? 😂 #scriptsky

Wicked, the Buccaneers, V Wars, How It Ends. A weekend of writing avoidance. Because this WIP edit is hurting my brainpan. I’ve needed to do more Watching, anyway. Now it’s 9pm and I’m back to editing. 😂 And it’s going more smoothly now. Go figure. 😂💪🏻 #scriptsky

Cue extreme panic when Watch Duty chimed a warning about a fire in… Burbank. 😩😳 Upon further investigation, it’s Burbank BLVD… in Van Nuys. Several cities away. Still - the January fires PTSD is real. 😩

Query letters scheduled to go out Tuesday. Got some reading done. Now editing my other self-contained feature in case those queries come back with a .. what else ya got that’s similar… Need to fit in some watching to go with that reading and writing at some point. #scriptsky

This one’s for you, @aggiebrett.bsky.social 😉😂

Tsunami warning along the west coast?😳😩 My bingo card is FULL, FFS. I watched Tsunami, the documentary on the Indonesia quake on Sunday. And then the one on Katrina. Humans will never keep Mother Nature at bay. Get outta the way. I want to write these things. Not live them. #scriptsky

Have been a member for years. A great substitute for Coverfly if you’re looking…👇🏻

Thank God I love to research. Because while IMDBPro is an incredible hub of information, researching the right people to query is like digging for the smallest needle in a continent-sized haystack. It definitely takes away from coveted writing time. I’d rather write a 100 page script. 😂 #scriptsky

Started off the weekend with a YES. Of the 8 queries I sent last weekend (scheduled to go out on Wed morning in whatever timezone the recipient is located), I’ve gotten three responses. Two were No and one was a Yes. The one that was a yes? Low budget, self-contained feature. #scriptsky

👇🏻 Free is free. Do it if you have scripts that qualify. 👇🏻

Second shingles shot. My arm is killing me. I have a fever. I can’t sleep. So - I’m sending F it I’M DOING THIS AND WILL NOT BE AFRAID queries to all my dream production companies and producers. IMDB Pro- I love you. 😂💪🏻 #scriptsky

It’s query letter day. So, of course, I’m running errands, cleaning, doing dishes, laundry… because I’d rather write a 100 page script and logline than a few sentence/paragraph query letter. 😂 #scriptsky

Some good screenwriter nuggets. 👇🏻

On an emotionally turbulent day that’s been filled with more than a few tears, received some professional coverage on my self-contained script ‘Suspended’ that’s probably the best and most complimentary I’ve ever received. Guess I’m doing something right. 💪🏻😂 #scriptsky

Productive weekend of errands, battling hungry pests divebombing the cat bowl. Binged S3 of ‘Squid Game’. A couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night binge of ‘Plane’. Not one to watch if you’re traveling soon… 😂 Edited 50 pages of the fantasy Atlantis feature. Wrote 5 new ones. 💪🏻 #scriptsky

👇🏻

My Sunday writing plans have been completely derailed by the one hell of a S3 emotional roller coaster that is Ginny & Georgia. #scriptsky

Plans for the weekend right on schedule. 💪🏻 Editing completed on election rage script. Stressful vet visit. Car needed work. Grocery shopping done. Prescriptions sorted. Rewarding myself by catching up on some shows. Then - work on the Romantasy feature I’ve ignored for two months. 😂 🎉 #scriptsky
