Spec scripts are like Thanksgiving turkeys. We spend all this time preparing them, everyone picks them apart for 10 minutes, and then the leftovers sit in the fridge until someone quietly throws them out. #scriptsky #screenwriting - ThreadSky

And sometimes the middle is just stuffing!

Sometimes the stuffing is Stove Top, sometimes it’s homemade with love and giblets

And sometimes the onions are undercooked and we're all worried about salmonella.

I wonder how far we could go with this analogy!

We’re only preheating

Sounds like a Nicholl winner

I put mine in the freezer 😂

This is the equivalent of putting the script on an external hard drive and putting it away in a drawer

dinamamousa.bsky.social•93 days ago

How did you see my drawer? Also, I have two drives 😂😝

The problem with selling a great spec script is you’re inviting a bevy of executives, agents and managers to rummage through your fridge, taste your leftovers and give you terrible pointers on how to recook everything.

Inspiring man!😂

I never do turkey for thanksgiving. Always give them something they don’t expect.

tschrack.bsky.social•93 days ago

Never let em know your next move!

True, but sometimes you can take the leftovers, mix and match and move them around, and come up with a totally new and tasty meal.

tschrack.bsky.social•92 days ago

That’s the ticket!

But turkey sandwiches & turkey curry are the best!!! I feel spec scripts are like that - they may not get made in their original form but they lead onto something just as tasty

This is the way!
