I was 8. It was Balto meets Beauty and the Beast. Literally. Disney sent a nice rejection note to my handwritten pitch letter, so I directed it at home. I still want to write for you someday, Disney!

The magic phrase every screenwriter needs: 'I'll take a look at that.' Not 'yes' or 'no' — just breathing room. When an exec gives you a note that makes your stomach drop, this buys you time to find a solution you both love instead of a reaction you'll both regret. #scriptsky

Related but separate…what if someone sings only the title of a song, like “Bye Bye Bye”? Since it’s the title, would that fall under fair use? #ScriptSky

10 years ago, I tried to write an hour-long drama. My manager sent me a memo on how to write drama that David Mamet wrote to his writing staff. The memo wasn’t quite enough to save my lousy script, but it did teach me some helpful QUESTIONS TO ANSWER IN EVERY SCENE. 🧵1/x #Scriptsky #Screenwriting

When I worked on The Office, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg “Are we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a little thread on them… 🧵1/X #Scriptsky #Screenwriting

This is truly disappointing. While every contest has its drawbacks, Nicholl really moved the needle and inspired a wide range of writers—not just college students and people who can drop $200 for a crapshoot. Please reconsider, @theacademyusa.bsky.social

I've watched promising writers tank their careers in a single meeting. The cause? Getting defensive during notes sessions. Here's the industry truth about handling criticism. 🧵⤵️

My favorite genres are: 1. Historical women shattering conventions. 2. Swords. Way too many swords. 3. A good person changing a jerk for the better. 4. A jerk becoming a hero in spite of themselves. 5. Amateur theater gone horribly wrong.

No writer is a failure until they are dead. Full stop. A career in writing is built over decades. It's built like a house, brick by brick, book by book. Not published yet? Emphasis on YET. Book not selling? It's not selling YET. You're only done when you quit. And I don't think you're ready to quit

Write fearlessly. Write like your parents, your boss, your third grade teacher will never, ever read it. Write from the darkest, most private corners of your mind. Put yourself out there. The real you. The fearless you. That's where you keep the best and most real art. The art that can change us.
