#firstpagefriday #scriptsky -Frozen Lies- Inspired by actual events. I avoided this story for 23 years. It wasn’t until I came up with Daisy, making it hopeful, that I thought I could write it. And now- it is 3 or 4 days away from its first query.

#scriptchat so- I have started writing a really dark character that I find having to take frequent breaks from. Anyone else feel the darkness/creep when writing in areas you don’t visit often? #scriptsky

#scriptsky I HATE THIS character. But he is in my head. A cold, calculating sociopath. Beneath his calm, polite exterior lies a chilling lack of empathy and a terrifying gift for mimicry. Patrick manipulates those around him, especially women, through emotional charm and careful observation.

#scriptsky. 24 pages short of my target feature length of my new script. A Psychological Thriller -Frozen Lies- A man drives west with a cooler full of bodies and a plan to erase his past, but as survivors close in, his mask of normalcy shatters. “Some monsters don’t hide. They rehearse.”
