Happy World Opera Day, everyone. 🎶

Does anyone have any writing-related work they need done? Because I can do it. I’m fast and reliable like an internet service. I also really need money. If any of that appeals to you, feel free to DM me! #scriptsky

NAME: Ashleyn Lagerberg CRIME: Starting screenplays but never finishing them PUNISHMENT: Exile #scriptsky

This is why I do it. This is why I want to spend an obscene amount of money on music school and auditions, receive thousands of rejections, but still persevere and work my way up the ranks of the opera world. So I can perform onstage wearing fucking JEANS. 🫠

Tried writing a scene that I thought would be really tense and eerie, but guess what, guys! Turns out the whole idea was just stupid. I’m so silly. 😄 #scriptsky

It’s going to be in the mid-to-low 60s for the rest of the week and next week will dip into the 50s. And I know you’re thinking “yeah, Ashleyn, this happens every year”, but I live in Tennessee and I’d forgotten what cold felt like, so I’m excited as fuck. 🍁🍂

Someone (bless their heart) asked me if I was a professional dancer. They made my night.

So you’re saying I have to set foot outside my comfort zone??? 😶 #scriptsky

I might take a ballet class tonight. No one needs to know this, but I thought I’d announce it anyway.

A part of autism that no one talks about is spending literal days debating whether or not to send a certain email because you don’t know enough about social shit to tell if it’ll make things weird or not.

So I just tried to do this again and when I went to pour out the water that I cooked the potatoes in into the sink, I dumped all the potatoes along with it. Some of them went down the drain. Jesus, take me now. I’m ready to go.

I was so nervous when I saw there was a protest planned in a small, red town not far from me, but apparently, around 500 people showed up. I’m proud of my county.

Day 15 (I think) off my meds. I hate everything. I doubt things shall improve any time soon. I’m manic, but have been mainly channeling it into learning Russian at an inhuman speed. What is life anymore?

Got my daily panic attack in at 8:00am today. The grind never stops, baby. 🔥💪

I’m so sick of life that I’m going to boil some potatoes in the microwave and eat them in my bed instead of writing or being productive.

You know what I’d really like? To get through a chorus rehearsal without crying. I don’t know what is wrong with me.

Why are the things I want never normal things and always shit like “I want to perform all the roles in Jesus Christ Superstar at some point”?

Learning a new language is showing me just how little I know about my native language. Like I know the grammatical rules, but I could not explain any of them to you if my life depended on it.

I hate Russian cursive. Like why is this an actual word?

Feeling angsty, might jump ahead in this screenplay and write a character death scene just to get it out of my system #scriptsky

Applying to music schools in 2025:

Oh, look. An opportunity to bring up Mahler’s 8th Symphony. 😏

Ok, but what if I made 2026 the year I seriously pursue filmmaking? The year I actually try to make a film? What’s the worst that could happen? #scriptsky

God damn it, I think I hate it. #scriptsky

What’s this? Could it be… another pointless mood board for WILTSHIRE that I made instead of writing? 😎 #scriptsky

Ok, hear me out… I change the title to “Something Like A Requiem” I don’t know. It’s speaking to me. It might be stupid, but it’s speaking to me. #scriptsky

I can’t think of a plot to go with the vibes I want for this script and it is driving me all the way up the fucking wall. Save me from this vale of tears please. #scriptsky

I made a new mood board too. I’m a procrastination queen. 😌 #scriptsky

Remember that ballet film I was writing? Here’s a colour palette I made for it instead of actually writing it. 😌 #scriptsky

My version of “would you still love me if I was a worm?” is “would you still love me if I wasn’t a screenwriter? 🥺” #scriptsky

Had a dream last night that I changed my comedy script’s title to “Something Along The Lines Of A Requiem” and you know what? I might actually change it to that just to feel something. #scriptsky

I am an adult. I am not going to let RFK make me cry. I’m going to make jokes like the neurotypicals and suck it up.

First rejection of the season let’s gooo 🥲

Saw a reel that said “the reason you want it so bad is because you already have it in the future” and I can’t lie… I teared up a little bit. I’m choosing to believe it just because it makes me feel better. #scriptsky

That “waiting for a response to an important email” feeling…

My centrist, lukewarm, “why can’t everyone just be allowed to have their own opinions?” mother just let me know that the recent behavior of the right is concerning to her. I’m counting this as a win.

Currently attempting to ✨excogitate✨ a sufficient story for this goddamn screenplay I’ve chosen to write. #scriptsky

If it makes you guys feel any better, I didn’t place at AFF either. #scriptsky

Hey, look at this sparkly tutu I made.

I want an Emmy too, so I’m working on my pilot tonight. That is all. #scriptsky

*insert stupid screenwriting joke here* #scriptsky

I never thought adult life would involve thinking “god, I’m so pathetic” because something about seeing close-up footage of a man being shot in the neck and footage of a woman my age being stabbed on a train all in one day made me not really want to get up for work the next morning. But here we are.

Can this story please turn into an actual fucking story and stop being just vibes? Can it please be nice to me for once? #scriptsky

Hugh Dancy needs to play the main character in my sci-fi series. It is imperative. And I think Naomi Watts would do a fantastic job as the Marlene Dietrich-esque antagonist. #scriptsky

The way Facebook always changes my professional-but-sweet “:)” to a passive aggressive, ominous “🙂” as soon as I send a message drives me all the way up the fucking wall.

At this point, I feel like I should be checking my email for something from AFF and I didn’t even submit anything. #scriptsky

I’m putting out my fall candles today and I don’t care who knows it 😤

Guys, I SOLD A SCREENPLAY!!! (I put it on FB Marketplace for $1 and someone bought it) #scriptsky

Lads, does this qualify for #ScreamPageSaturday? #scriptsky
