Got feedback back from my producer on my romcom first draft and it was so amazing! Barely any notes. I'm beyond thrilled and excited. yay!

Just tried to email some business associates, Have wonderful holidays everyone and my phone changed it to, wonderful vodkas and I don't know, maybe that is a better way to say it.

Feature romcom script due Friday to my producer. I will have a draft but I really wanted an extra week so it was more than a vomit draft. Producer said yes, take an extra week. phew! yay! Now I can make this first draft way stronger. So happy!

They are not kidding, give things to the busy person. Went on a two hour hike with dog and friend. Then...worked on freelance...then, read pages for writing group...then, read pages for novel group, now finishing up pages for my paid screenwriting gig. I'm going to hit 90 pages today. woot woot!

Who controls what IP isn't what's at play with this new merger: it's about who gets your attention & dollars. It means fewer shows & fewer movies as not to step on each other's dicks. 1/3 of Hollywood is already out of work from past consolidation. How many more voices will they run out of town?

I had to get the new Final Draft because I had to buy a new computer. And I had heard the newer FD's crash. And mine just did and didn't save my latest scene. ARGHHHH!!!

Just had a meeting with producer on my short film I wrote and directed and met our new editor. yay! It's been slow-going with the editing. But think we found the right one this time. Excited to see it done! #filmsky #screenwritingsky

I don't want to shock anyone in Southern California. But I went for a 30-minute walk in the rain with an umbrella and rain boots, and guess what? I didn't melt. #teamUmbrella

How come social media X asks me to verify I'm human when I sign in, when the majority of the posts are from bots. Do they have to verify they're bots?!

17 TV projects, including the reimagined hit series Baywatch and season three of Fallout are FILMING IN CALIFORNIA as part of our California Film Tax Credit Program. This will generate $1.2B in the Golden State and thousands of new jobs in the world’s entertainment capital!

Love when you’ve got the first few pages of a new script written. Especially when it’s a script you’ve been hired to write. Having fun so far writing this new romcom. Here we go!

Texting my male writing partner about film stuff and then he's like okay gotta get back to my wife and our TV show and he writes, ciao. And I'm trying to write, bye. And my phone wanted to send a kiss. Okay iphone! Trying get me in trouble! Sheez.

Sometimes in LA I think, I want to live in the cold where there's snow. And then I'm cold when it's in the 50's and raining in LA. 😂

Got one script request today. And one place that loved my work but said thanks, but no thanks. Send us your next scripts. Part of this biz right? I guess as long as you're still in the game, you're in the game. Until one day...

Went to the SimiFilmFest today and was blown away by AWD block of talented female directors. Great storytelling and filmmaking. Go women! #filmsky

If you are a California voter be on the lookout for anti Prop 50 mailers like this one. I received one of these and It’s a trick that was created by Charles Munger Jr. and a bunch of others. Munger Jr. has spent $10 Million to defeat Prop 50 aka the Election Rigging Response Act.

Just some Vermont beauty I saw when I brought my kid back to college for another year and another season of playing college hockey.

Thanks for reading my #TheGildedAge S3 finale coverage! I’m threading the rest of my previous interviews and features here in chronological order:

I'm so glad Gilded Age is finally finding its fans. Can't wait for season 4! I've been a fan of this show since the first episode. Spoilers in this article.

Proof that bullying people for using AI works and we should bully them as hard as possible.

I really hope that folks get off their couch and vote in the midterms in 2026. We’re facing unprecedented times. When you don’t vote — we end up with POS like this. This nazi is running for Governor of California. More info in ALT Reminder—Today is a good day to check your voter registration

Had one type of screenwriting meeting that I thought was like a small project kind of thing that led to the producer saying hey send me THAT script. And he saying if I like this I'm sending to (insert director I admire). Wasn't expecting that at all. Love meetings like that. #filmsky #scriptsky

My son and I saw F1 last night. It was as great as everyone said. Wow that directing and cinematography. I want to do some deep dives on that! Anyone have interviews on that to share? #filmsky #scriptsky

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

🚨Now that the men imprisoned by the Trump admin in El Salvador are free, their stories are coming out; and they are horrific. One man describes how Salvadoran officials at the prison beat them regularly, stole money from them, and denied them medical care — even painkillers.

It's sometimes fun going through a list of screenwriting ideas to decide what to write next and seeing ideas that are now scripts. Anyone do that? #scriptsky #filmsky

Sad that the NHL Playoffs are over? No worries. Perhaps it's time to read 'Hockey Moms' to see how those amazing players achieved their success. It's not just up to the players. It's the moms behind the players. #Filmsky #scriptsky #NHLplayoffs www.officialstuntlist.com/ballers-list...
