Voting for the best piece of art is so dumb. Art isn't a contest. The art itself is the award.⁣⁣ #oscars⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go submit my screenplay to a competition I really hope I win.⁣⁣ #scriptsky

Just tried the beta of the “image playground” Apple AI feature on my Mac and that thing is pure nightmare fuel. I gave it a photo of myself and felt my soul evacuating my body. Why does Apple think we want this slop factory on our devices? I’ve never hit the feedback button so hard.

Maybe you’re right that your first draft is intentionally understated, its true genius difficult to grasp. But if every reader says it isn’t working, you don’t have to throw it out. Trust yourself to do the hard work of rewriting, knowing the original is always just a double click away. #scriptsky

Don’t rush into writing your second draft after getting feedback on your first. Give the notes time to settle. Do some outlining. Explore and rediscover. Otherwise, your second draft may just end up like your first, but with extra steps. #scriptsky

As a Canadian, I would kindly ask Wayne Gretzky to politely skate to where the puck is going, and then stay there. We’re done with your treachery, thanks very much.

Spent close to a year developing the first act of this screenplay and multiple readers now have told me that’s the part that is either too vague or could be cut completely. Does it sting a little? Yes. Would it hurt even more to ignore it? Absolutely. #scriptsky

Having a go (again) at adapting an unsuitable screenplay idea into prose, and am learning (again) that when the reins are off I will try to cram as many words as possible into every single sentence. It is arduous to write, exhausting to read, a real chore and a bore… and yet I cannot help myself.

The winter thaw is when you really find out where all the bodies are buried in your neighborhood. And by bodies I of course mean giant dog turds.

I’ve been chatting with Agatha about a screenplay she gave me incredibly insightful coverage on, and she continues to impress with her depth of knowledge and clarity in response to my followup questions. Excited to be part of the community she’s building. Fellow screenwriter’s welcome!

I can tell you from personal experience that Agatha really knows her stuff.

As writers, we should always watch movies and TV shows to stay current with the market and learn new techniques and story engines. We want to know: what TV show have you been binge-watching? Write your recommendations below! #scriptsky

TNG trek: Hey isn’t it wrong that we’re allying with the Klingons given their history of violent conquest? Yes but it’s complicated. I disagree. [elaborates] Ok I’m still conflicted but I understand that it’s not as simple as right or wrong now. New trek: Hey fuck you. No fuck YOU.

Nice to know but also why are so many movie critics such hateful creatures in the first place? You can (nay, should) be critical without being spiteful or cruel. Loving movies does not mean attacking the creators of the ones that didn’t work for you. This practice does nothing to advance the form.

if you're Canadian (like moi), you have a beating heart and a functioning spleen, and you're still using twitter, I'm starting to think maybe we can't be friends

Anyone else notice how some pretty cool stuff happens when you stop trying to make sure your protag is right in the end and give them the space they need to be wrong? #scriptsky #scriptsky+

Hello #scriptsky. Thought you might like to know I’m putting the final polish on a draft of screenplay I actually like and feel good about. Is this real life or did I just come home from a wild time at the dentist?
