On today’s SCREAMING INTO THE HOLLYWOOD ABYSS, we chat with screenwriter Matthew Aldrich, the co-writer of Pixar’s hit feature COCO (amongst many other things). Come check out our super heart-felt conversation with a writer I’ve wanted to interview for a very long time. Hollywoodabyss.com/coco

As helpful as social media can be to get information out, doomscrolling our way through the fall of America won't save us. TL;DR: If you can, find or build a community in real life and organize locally. www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

hi #screenwriters who do #screenwriting and #tvwriting - here is my latest tutorial on writing great action sequences! okbjgm.weebly.com/uploads/3/1/...

"Remind yourself constantly that no one gave you your identity, truth, or power, and no one can take them away without your permission." ⤵️

Just saw this posted on FB and had to share.

Parents and caregivers: The world feels heavy, and it’s easy to feel on edge. But remember: You CAN pause. You CAN take a deep breath. You CAN walk away. You CAN catch the aggression before it becomes harm. You’ve got this.

Friday Writing Advice! I used to think I needed to be “in the zone” to write. As I got busier, I had no choice but to write even when I “wasn’t feeling it.” Guess what? When I look back at the pages I wrote, I can find NO APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY. Just write and you win.

and there’s some brand new stuff in there if you haven’t visited in a while! #screenwriters #screenwriting

Now, more than ever, it's important to #StayInLA! 👇🏽

It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight. Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

hey #allamerican fans, one of our dear crew members has been devastated by the Altadena fires please consider donating to his gofundme - he is a bright light on our set and has always kept our boys looking sharp for the cameras!! gofund.me/a3e2c354

Being a writer is almost entirely about perseverance. Life is going to continuously try to keep you from writing or from getting published or from getting things made, and you just have to get in life's way and say “No.”

Here’s a list of hotels in LA that are available for those that need it 🤍 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES IN LOS ANGELES: If you’re looking to get involved with volunteer efforts in LA, please check out this list provided by Mutual Aid LA:

The Eaton fires destroyed a youth care facility my friend worked at. They had no time to pack, and everything is lost. Please help support them if you can. These children and teen were ALREADY vulnerable before the fires. www.gofundme.com/f/provide-ai...

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...
